I am Mog Anarchy, and I like to play games. Whether they are old, new, retro, modern, online, offline, console, computer, critically acclaimed or notoriously bad. Here on my blog, I rant about, review, trash talk, praise and generally talk about all of my favourite and least-favourite games. I also write my own guides on how to accomplish tricky tasks, show off my creative endeavors and challenge myself with crazy in-game tasks. I also have a bunch of gaming merchandise which I am glad to show off. So drop me a comment, I love hearing your questions, criticisms, comments and general gaming discussions. :)

Unboxing: Japanese Pokémon Candy

Today I'm going to show you a pair of Pokémon candy/snacks I received from Japan! One is a box of "milk candy," and the other is a Kinder-Surprise style chocolate egg.
Firstly, I had a box of "milk candy." The packaging on this was just amazing - styled after a Master Ball, which even opened up like one once the seal had been broken!

On the inside of the lid, there was a little maze-style puzzle. Under the bag of snacks, I found a collectible sticker - holographic too! The one I got was Mega Blaziken - and it came with some stats on the back - naturally I have no clue what it says, as I don't speak or read Japanese!

To be honest; the snacks themselves were a little disappointing. They tasted like Golden Nuggets cereal that someone had left open for several months. They had a slight crunch to them, but once they were wet in your mouth, they quickly disintegrated into nothing.

Here's some close-ups of the packaging:

Next, I had a chocolate surprise egg. It was rather a small box - and didn't come with any bonus goodies inside, but of course, the main prize was inside the chocolate egg itself!

The chocolate was pretty good, a mixture of sweet and creamy and yet it had a mildness to it - like it was a candy specifically made for children. Well duh. :)

The figure inside, according to my Twitter followers is Zygarde 10% Forme. It was fairly simple to build and comes with a nice display stand - which personally I don't think it needs, as it can stand on its own feet - but perhaps other figurines in the set can't.

I'm feeling a little hacked off, as one of the available figures was ESPEON - my FAVOURITE Pokémon - but noooo, I couldn't get that one, could I?!
