The Blot was recently introduced to Nearko Ltd., which has just launched a new Kickstarter campaign (seen here) for their Journey to the Sweet mini figure blind box series starring KimoChu! With Journey to the Sweet, Nearko Ltd. has transformed the intro to the classic 16th century Chinese novel, Journey to the West, into a modern story showcasing their brand and their cast of over 30 original characters – all of whom are made with candies!
One of those Journey to the Sweet original characters is KimoChu, the choco pig. KimoChu is the monster of rose alcohol-filled chocolate, so you know he's got a lot of lofty expectations to live up to. When he is happy, his nose turns into a heart, and hearts begin pouring out of his nose. It's like the better version of having a cold. The guiding concept design behind KimoChu is that when we taste chocolate, we tend to have a very good feeling overcome us – much like falling in love.
The Journey to the Sweet KimoChu Mini Figure Blind Box Series features 12 different designs plush 4 secret variants. These cute and sweet designs were inspired by some of the world’s most popular chocolate candies. To find out more about these exciting blind box vinyl figures – and help get this mini figure series produced – head over to the Journey to the Sweet KimoChu Kickstarter Campaign today!
