Yep… That’s how long it’s been since I bought new hot wheels cars… In fact, that was 17 years ago. That year was none other than 2007. That was the last year I ever got myself new hot wheels cars. It was also the last year that I was ever interested in buying new hot wheels cars. Since then, my interest for hot wheels remained basically limbo for more than 13 years between 2008-2022. In 2023, that changed officially. I expanded my otaku lifestyle to further heights. Hot Wheels is certainly one of these new interests. Just seeing those new Hot Wheels cars of mine gives me such a warm and nostalgic feeling. It feels like as if I was 9–10 years old again. I can’t wait to open them. I’ll add them to my collection. Soon, I will give a review on them! So for now, stay tuned!

Here is one of the new Ramen Bowl Sets that I recently got. I have had this for at least eight days now. I have been wanting to show it for a while. Yet, due to the busy stuff going on in my life, I wasn’t capable of showing it yet. Now, here it is! This Dragon Ball Ramen Bowl set from Culturefly is a really fine piece of creation. Other sets are available, like My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, and an originally designed Ramen bowl. I chose Dragon Ball because the design looked nicer in my opinion. What I like about it is its well-thought-out design. It is practical because it is a food-safe bowl. You can use it to eat foods, like Ramen, cereal, or even soup. Yes, you guessed it! In fact, I already used my Ramen bowl to eat Ramen and cereal in it. I like the detail of the Dragon Ball themes. The color palette with the dragon balls added to the design of the Ramen bowl is wonderful. The chopsticks and the spoon are also great. They are not only for show but for use as well.

But, I do have a complaint about this Ramen bowl set. The ceramic material used for this bowl is fragile, weak, and if not careful, can easily break. In fact, I have a sad truth for this bowl… The spoon of this Ramen bowl set broke easily. It happened when it softly fell on the kitchen table. The tip of the spoon broke easily. I had to use superglue to fix it, but the scratch marks on the spoon’s tip are still noticeable. So if you are going to use it for something, be REALLY careful. I do have to say that Culturefly did make a huge mistake in that sense.

Regardless, it’s still a nice piece of work. I would definitely recommend any otakus to buy this Ramen bowl set. Use it for food to stand out as the otaku eating with a unique bowl. Everyone else uses a normal bowl jiji!
