Jolly Ben vs Hershey's Chocolate

 Jolly Ben: HELP~~ I'm captured by a giant Hershey's Chocolate!

Hershey's Chocolate thoughts: Come play with me Ben

 Hershey's Chocolate thoughts: You are so adorable and huggable!

Jolly Ben: OH NO...monster chocolate is trying to squeeze me to death!

 Jolly Ben: Don't eat me!!! I will bring you Jolly Rosa, she is more delicious to eat.

Giant Hershey's Chocolate was distracted for a second and...

Jolly Ben: I see an opening! RUN~

p.s. Many thanks to all the friendly staff at Hershey's chocolate for playing with our Ben!

Nici - A World Of Friends @ 100% pure New Zealand

New Zealand, a beautiful paradise for tourists and ... sheeps.

Some of our Nici soft toys know that, so they flew over to NZ and stayed there. You'll never feel lonely in a foreign country.

Auckland, the most populous urban area in NZ.
Will there be any Nici plush hide among the city?

Spotted!
A 50cm NICI Jolly Mäh at Auckland NZ market, style himself with a fernleaf scarf.

Next, what surprise we will find at South island of NZ, Queenstown , the "Adventure capital of the world" ?

*blink blink*

Found that more Nici soft toys having their adventure here! Hugo Wolf, Jolly Mäh and Jolly Ben in differrent sizes!
Spot any other Nici toys?

Are they still waiting their owner to bring them home from the shop in Queenstown NZ?

A little souvenir from Christchurch NZ. Jolly Ben keyring.

Most of the Nici soft toys in NZ are attached with the heart shaped tag :
" Just Love New Zealand "

" Hello, I am Jolly Ben from New Zealand.

If you see my other Nici soft toy friends when you are traveling,
remember say hello to them, and give them a hug.
Sweet As! "

Now, Jolly Ben has something to share with us ...

We are shocked and heartbroken how things can be different within just 2 years ( and after one month of the above drafted).

All our Nici plush pray for New Zealand and Japan for a smooth and quick recovery from the destruction.

Jolly Ben, Jolly Ben, Jolly Ben

Meet Jolly Ben the black NICI sheep plush. If this picture of Jolly Ben looks familiar, you've probably seen him before here. This is not a picture of our Jolly Ben though, refer to another picture below..

This picture of Jolly Ben was taken by us way back in Oct 2008 on the shelf of CNS West Mall in Singapore. Back then, most of the NICI peluches were Jolly Mäh, Jolly Wolf, Jolly Ben, and Jolly Sheebo. We have since regretted not buying this extremely cute 25cm Jolly Ben right here but fortunately

...

Jolly Ben eventually found his way back home. This 35cm Jolly Ben has the roundest Jolly Mäh face we have ever seen! Okay to be fair, both Ben and our orange NICI sheep Jolly Sheebo shares the same award.

Because of Jolly Ben's big round chubby face, we thought he would be very suitable to bring you some tantalizing food reviews in the future, so stay tuned for more Jolly Ben if you like him.

Older Jolly Mah series NICI sheep has noticeably thicker plush than NICI's newer offerings. 35cm Jolly Ben is a soft, smooth, very huggable plush toy.

By the way, you have already met two Jolly Ben, where is the third Jolly Ben we mentioned in our title?

Here he is and sure you've met mini Jolly Ben before in the Jolly Rosa mini blog post earlier last month. We think that our 35cm Jolly Ben has a hairstyle that resembles the notorious tv personal Simon Cowell. NICI Idol anyone? Jolly Ben will be an honest judge! ^_^

Say hi to Jolly Ben

Hi, I'm Jolly Ben from NICI. I know I'm cute, that's why Hugo Wolf tried to dress like me ^_^
