Doki Doki by Japan Crate May 2016 Subscription Box Review

Doki Doki by Japan Crate is a monthly Japanese "kawaii" item subscription box. In each box, you'll receive licensed items, ranging from plushies, collectible items, accessories and apparel, and more!

May 2016 Doki Doki Crate by Japan Crate

Well, clearly my box was opened before I got it. :( Nothing was missing at least.

Cost: $30.00 per month
Ships to: All around the world. (Free shipping in the U.S. / $15 shipping fee internationally)
Ships via: USPS. Japan Crate ships Doki Doki crates within the first week of the month

Although for the past few months, Japan Crate has been shipping bootleg items. They have clarified and hopefully have resolved the issue!
You can read more about it here and here!

What got me into the box was their April 2016 Doki Doki. Items for that month were authentic, so I thought I would give it a try.

Let's move along with the box, shall we?

May 2016's Doki Doki theme is:

Overall: Like Japan Crate, I feel these items are not worth $30. Most of these items are probably worth $1 - $2, some worth $5 maximum. And most of the items, don't seem "kawaii," but more "ridiculous."


If you've subscribed to Doki Doki by Japan Crate, what did you think of this month's crate?
