Re-ment


Re-ment Blender from 2004

I got my first taste of Re-ment back in 2005 when I purchased a set from a grocery store in Little Tokyo. The detail of the miniature items was really amazing. I didn’t get into collecting them at the time because the sets were imported from Japan and were not widely available. This May I saw some sets for sale at the Vinyl Toy Network show and my interest was renewed. Re-ment now has a website in English that gives the locations of stores were their items can be purchased. So now I have been able to add to my collection. Good thing they are so small!

The image shows the first Re-ment set that I purchased, click on it to see more photos on my Flicker photostream.

Wow... I went to the website... they have some amazing little creations. I'm not quite sure what the scale is... can you take a picture with a penny in it so we can see just how small this stuff is?

Good point. I will see about getting a picture that shows the scale of the Re-ment items.

The English version of the Re-ment site is amazing but you should see the Japanese site. It's overwhelming!
