Hey everyone~! Mimi here~

Just letting you all know that we'll be making our "Let's unite the World" brand OFFICIAL~! As of today! =D

We got SO MUCH great feedback from SMASH!2011 that we decided to continue the brand and start branching out to include a more variety of animes, games, characters and what ever we can manage to successfully fanart/design!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Let's unite the World, here's a general introduction~

+ What is it? +
It started off with making a design for our sticker products for SMASH!2011, and we wanted something cute, functional and customizable. So after a whole bunch of thinking, we thought up of the idea of making the characters hold hands (cause I'm actually really crap when it comes to drawing couples actually making any form of contact... Ami isn't though! So if you want to commission for something like that ask her~!). After some product testing we finalised the designs and decided to name the brand "Let's unite the World!" (Since the characters are holding hands and we'll be drawing as many characters as we can).

+ So... what do you do with the product? +
Each character is drawn in a pose where it looks like he/she is holding on to some one/something on either hand. The general aim to to collect the character(s) that you like and either connect them with other characters to make a chain, pair them up as couples (or as a group), make them hold onto something or even pair them up with yourselves (by either drawing yourself in, cutting out a photo of yourself or commissioning a custom sticker to look like you). Please look at some of our samples, there's some examples of how I've used them so far~
There really is no right or wrong way to use them, it's just a form of decoration~ We just stylized them a bit so there's more ways to play around with them.
- However please refrain from sticking them onto surfaces that are exposed to harsh weather conditions as they will wear out much faster such as windows and vehicle surfaces (they will start crinkling on the edges and may eventually peel off the surface -- Treat them as your regular everyday stickers! ... they all have lifespans too you know~).
- Ideal surfaces: Flat surfaces such as paper, cardboard, plastic, finished wood surfaces (e.g. bookshelves), metal, etc.
- *The brand was intentionally made for the production of stickers but after we sold out of some of the designs in the form of phone charms, we decided to make them into phone charms with some other little icon dangle-ly bits. We'll also be making them into bookmarks and basic laminated key chains. If you require a more specialised design, please feel free to contact us.


So far we've started off with some of the characters from Axis Powers Hetalia (Namely speaking: Germany, Italy, Japan, America, England, China, Russia and France)
We now have Switzerland and Austria~!

If you'd like to see your fav character "Unite'd", drop us a line!!

Note: All characters will generally be the same height (4cm x 3cm) to make it fair on pricing and also for printing/production purposes. However if a character needs to be taller or shorter than the generic size, we will clearly label the product specifications and show height comparisons to better explain the differences in costs.

That'll be it from me for now, we'll upload a pricing list once we're free~
In the meantime my fellow cacti populus~
Have fun & Take care~!
<3 Mimi

P.S. Super thanks to all those fabulous cacti populus that visited our stall at SMASH!2011 -- You all made it epic =)

lol awesome. Yeah My first day was slightly hectic, my second was waaaay terrible, And today... Well today was good once I got some coffee, so I figure as long as I start my day with coffee I'll get through it.

I plan to sleep through the weekend though, so tired
