JOLLIBEE Releases Limited Edition Jollibee Funko Soda!

If you love Jollibee, Funko and everything in between, you probably have seen the recent announcement in the Jollibee Facebook page about this a couple days ago. It's an exclusive Jollibee Funko Soda made from the partnership with well loved brand Jollibee and Funko.

It's only available to order via the Jollibee app which you can download off the App Store or Google Play buy purchasing a meal of 200 peso value and shell out Php 790 for it. Jollibee also has said there will be in some cans, a limited edition Chase glow in the dark version (which collectors would surely go crazy for). 

 

This will only be available until September 26th, so you've got a few hours left to get one from the app. As of this writing, I've been trying to get one but it's taking its own sweet time to load. There have been successful purchases already as I've seen a few on social media. You better download the app today and try your luck to get one! (Oh and it's only available in a few select stores!)

Love Die Cast Toys for the Big Boys

My fascination with cars started at an early age and part of it is because I adore having one, whether it be the real thing or not especially when I started receiving gifts from the usual birthday parties and special occasions.

The Classic Jaguar XJ6 Series

All that changed when I was 10 years old when I received my first ever Classic Jaguar XJ6 series die cast model car. It’s 1:18 scale size and looks that would never go out of style introduced me to a whole new world of possibilities because if I couldn’t have the real one at my age back then I felt this would definitely suffice. This car is still kept at my toy cellar, tucked away with my other classic toys which I hope will increase value in the next few years or perhaps be passed on to my kids in the near future. It wasn’t easy to actually do that because the urge to actually feel it in my hands and enjoy it was great but thinking how it could be better to have in the future was even greater. It’s like the real thing, in mint condition, no scratches or dents, in matte green and metal body.

After that gift, I thought of getting new ones but only wanted to stay in classic cars so it was a tough and arduous process to actually see one in toy conventions but I knew I had to find more. It’s limited quantity and licensing means it’ll cost much more than what a 10-20 year old could afford but I skipped lunch and snacks in high school so I could keep the money and pay for it. I now have die cast owner of other classic cars, then moved on to Tonka trucks in an even smaller 1:8 scale.

The construction vehicles pretty much kept me sane in online stores, auctions and even thrift shops in Manila. Most of the public don’t even know the value of these diecast models and I would like to keep it that way so I could get them all at a fair price. Don’t get me wrong I mean I’m not just keeping it for myself and even though I know how expensive it is, I felt it was worth every penny. You won’t believe what I have in my coffers because I’m trying to hold on to them for a few more decades before I do dispose of them. It appreciates in value and I have set my eyes on other diecast vehicles.

NScale Models of Trains in 1:150 scale

A fellow blogger and friend started a new hobby - and got his own lovely diecast trains. I felt envious, suddenly felt a wind to get ones that move or engines with my cars so I could at least have them different. If I have their doors open up, trunk included or the whole thing move, that means it gets more expensive because of its functions. Now imagine expanding my build to actually do a whole community, with real scaled houses and car ports too. It’s a big undertaking, but dreams are made so you have a goal, so it may come true.

I have high hopes drivers, car lovers and enthusiasts like me would start to appreciate these things, and find that no matter how expensive it is, that it’s worth every penny.

I adore my lead and zinc pieces, they get better with age, I’m sure it’s prices will go up in a few years. I may have skipped meals and all but the memories of actually getting the things that I have right now made me realize how even more precious they are to me. This is one of the reasons why I still keep them, the value increase is just a bonus. The happiness I get is insurmountable, priceless, and if you could get more of these model cars and vehicles in your life, you’ll never regret why you started to love die cast toys for the big boys.

Jollibee Releases JolliDance Showdown App and Jolly Pinoy Collectibles

 I'm a believer... in dreams made of happiness.. and what a child wants it to be. I believe it's something that would let them develop even BIGGER things, improve race and make technology beneficial for themselves, and generations to come. 

 

Just week ago, Jollibee got us to experience something new. They have been working so hard together with a US based tech company called Trigger to make use of the new generation Jolly Joy Box and how they would get to make this simple packaged treat for kids become a great live dance studio for Jollibee, you and his whole crew! Unbelievable? Yes, but not quite impossible as we saw it in action last week! It's called JolliDance Showdown!

Step 1 Go get a Jolly Kiddie Meal (Jolly Joy Box shown above) and enjoy it in the store, at home, or anywhere in the world!

Step 2 Download the JolliDance Showdown App on the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play

Step 3 Once installed, open it and scan your Jolly Joy Box. You'll see the actual box come to life and be a full blown Jollibee Store complete with disco balls and stuff!

Step 4 You can also take a selfie and join Jollibee and friends in the lovely dance number

Step 5 You can also make your own dance track by going to the DJ for Jollibee section and dance it off with Jollibee!

Step 6 To get Jollibee's friends like Hetty, Popo Potato, Mr. Yum or Twirlie, go to your nearby Jollibee store and scan the special sign so you can unlock them all. Remember, you can only do this one character per day so you have to go back to Jollibee!

You'll love how Jollibee and his friends would be able to interact with your kids and it's just super cool to see it dance the whole day without getting tired. Imagine it on top of your table, your toys, your couch, your car, and just about anywhere you could fit that Jolly Joy Box! It's like magic and it's the first time for any fast food restaurant to launch an app of this nature! You'll love Jollibee all over again! 

That's not all, because they've also got something for the young and young at heart. Take a look at these lovely Jolly Pinoy Collectibles!

The Hetty Vinta Getaway would remind you of Zamboanga where these lovely boats are found. She also moves and plays the sound of the waves. It's not your ordinary toy which you can get for 150 Philippine Pesos for each value meal purchase.

The Twirlie Pinoy Sorbetes on  the other hand will make you miss the grandfather of all Pinoy street desserts, the ice cream and vehicle we call Sorbetes. She also calls for customers and rings that little bell on her hand when she needs too. This is just too fun!

My personal favorite among all the toys is this Popo Carabao Farm. Of course KUMACOW is related to the Philippine Carabao and the cute french fry guy takes care of the audible mooing animal he's with. You should get this!

For some touristy fun, get this Mr. Yum Kalesa Fun toy. It also shrieks like a real horse at a touch of a switch. Don't you just want to take it home?

Nothing comes close to being Pinoy than the real deal Jollibee Jeepney! If you want to know, Jollibee even calls passengers to ride on this cute little jeep beside him. He doesn't just make YUMmy burgers, he's also a barker!

As I mentioned, you can enjoy these lovely Jolly Pinoy Collectibles by purchasing a Jollibee Value Meal and 150 bucks! That's a steal if you ask me because this lovely toys would last you for generations, you just have to take good care of it!

Now how's that for a Jollibee laden post? You've got the JolliDance Showdown App, plus a ton of new Jolly Pinoy Collectibles to get when you're inside a Jollibee store anywhere in the world! Oh yes, whether you are in the US or in the Philippines, the next time you crave for Chickenjoy, Yum or Champ Burgers, you'll see these inside the store so collect them all!
