Re-Ment ♥ - It’s No Secret

Re-ment (Reform The Entertainment) is a Japanese company that manufactures Puchi Petites — scaled miniatures of everyday items. If you’re into dolls, Re-ment miniature replicas would be a great addition to your dolly’s world:

Speaking of dolls, I saw a woman carrying a Volks Super Dollfie (a 1:6 scale ball-jointed doll) in her arms at a bookstore the other day. She treated it like it was her baby, talking and fussing over it. It was… weird. But even if dolls aren’t your thing, there’s no reason why you can’t appreciate the realistic-looking collectibles:

Rement products are not expensive, most selling at 200-400 yen (around USD3), but they are sold in a series of mystery boxes ala trading cards so you may need to buy a few boxes from the same series before you could get the item you want (though it is possible to buy single unboxed items at a higher price). I didn’t know this prior to my trip to Tokyo so when I insisted to a salesgirl there that I wanted item no. 9 on the box she was all “Secret! Secret! All SECRET!!!” LOL

Collections from Re-ment (Japan) site:
Harapeko - Kitchen appliances with animal faces
Petite Mode - Tiny fashion items, costumes and accessories

Collections also available from Re-ment International (English site):
Have A Bite! - Street Food such as crepes, burgers, ice-cream and Japanese snacks
Re-ment Bakery - This collection is no longer available
Elegant Sweets - Tea party essentials like cakes, cookies, chocolates

Mini World


Downsized italian food at, um, Mini Italy
Also check out Dollhouse Miniature’s Betsey and The English Robin

In another small and cute finding… I wasn’t sure how to react when I came across the photo story on babies Logan and Paige (hint: they are not humans). They are incredibly cute, though.

Edit: Hmm.. someone told me they were actually dolls. Maybe got confused with the main site which is about reborn babies

Top 3 in 2005 - Mini Objects of Obsession

What’s hot at Lovely Room this year?
Number 3 goes to Re-ment : Reform The Entertainment

I can’t believe that “Re-ment” is one of the hottest keywords pointing to this site.

For those of you who landed here due to Rement, you might wanna check out Megahouse for other similarly tiny objects.
