Pocky x Snoopy - Pocky Limited Edition Spring 2013

Dear Pocky and Snoopy lovers ... 

Glico launched its latest collaboration event this spring, called Pocky x Snoopy. Therefore, from April 2013 we can find these Pocky chocolate, milk chocolate, strawberry, and almond crush in limited edition packages featuring Snoopy and his friends in the market. I like Pocky but rarely buy it. However, this time I couldn't resist the urge to try it, most likely because of the cute Snoopy and Woodstock. ^^

The unique thing is that all of them form a neat line, showing all the characters walking together as if they are going to the same spot: the bus stop. I also found that there are more than one front cover design for each flavor, so we don't have to buy each flavor to collect all the designs.

In fact, there is also another Pocky Snoopy edition : Pocky Coffee Cookie Crunch, but it seems this one is not inside the set of Pocky x Snoopy. I love this one more because it has a lotttt of Woodstock at the back of the package. I love Woodstock! ^_____^

This edition contains 3 packs of biscuit sticks coated with milk chocolate and crushed coffee cookies. The plastic packages separating the 3 packs inside also have Snoopy or Woodstock printed on them!

Back to the Pocky x Snoopy edition, there are total 11 designs of the back of the package. Not only that, this package has a special feature! They were designed somehow that we can make the characters hanging on our bag! O.o ... so difficult to explain by words ... Luckily they provide an informative picture to help us understand how the design supposes to work, even if we don't understand Japanese. 

Let's just see the picture below :

It might look simple, but it successfully makes us smile, right? ^_^

If you are a big fan of Snoopy and his friends, you should check this super cute and nicely designed Pocky x Snoopy website from Glico. They also provide FREE wallpapers and screen savers for us to enjoy :)

As usual, I can help you to buy them as long as they are still in the market. in regards to the delivery fee, it is not expensive from japan, as long as you dont mind using airmail or SAL (economy airmail).
