ReMent makes minis with charming #kawaii appeal, feature details and realistic designs. As older sets become increasingly collectible and valuable, they are commonly utilized as dollhouse miniatures, particularly adored for their delightful tiny food items.

Do you eat apples? Does an apple a day really keep the doctor away?
ReMent are adorable #kawaii detailed realistic miniatures from Japan. The older sets are quite collectible and pricey these days. They are often used as dollhouse minis and the tiny foods are very popular. Many Barbie doll photographers on social media use them in their 1/6th scale Dioramas.
From Wiki: RE-MENT Co., Ltd. (株式会社リーメント, Kabushikigaisha-Riimento), located in Chiyoda Tokyo, is a Japanese manufacturer of collectible plastic toys. The company’s name is derived from a combination of the phrase “reform the entertainment”, alluding to their desire for innovation in the toy market. Established in 1998, Re-Ment currently sells a line of highly detailed miniature food, furniture and animal figures as well as mobile phone charms, doll fashions and magnets. Re-Ment miniatures have been featured in two television advertisements by the Kellogg Company for their Pop-Tarts pastry product.

👵🏻💖 Welcome to Grandma’s miniature world where the smell of warm memories fills the air. My name is Tonya #grandmagetsreal - In the 70s, I followed in Barbies tiny footsteps and became a Teenage Fashion Model. I left all that behind for the white picket fence lifestyle. I started on social media six years ago photographing Barbies with my grandchildren. Then, I began to collect 1/6 scale realistic miniatures for their Playscale dioramas. I filled the room-boxes with tiny things, mini foods, and other little bits. Over 1.6 million people follow my channels about dolls, miniatures and nostalgia.

Happy October 1st, everyone! 🍁🍂 As the leaves turn golden, it’s time for a sweet autumn treat: caramel apples! 🍎🍏
Did you know that the caramel apple has been a fall favorite for nearly a century? It all started in the 1950s when Kraft Foods employee Dan Walker had a brilliant idea to use leftover Halloween caramels. He melted them down, dipped some apples, and voilà – a new tradition was born!
Kraft had been making their iconic caramels since 1933, but this inventive treat gave them a whole new purpose. From state fairs to home kitchens, caramel apples quickly became synonymous with autumn fun.
So, how do you feel about this sticky-sweet seasonal delight? Are you a caramel apple enthusiast, or do you prefer your apples and caramels separate? Share your thoughts and favorite caramel apple memories below! 🍬🍎

Dame Maggie Smith 1934 - 2024
I bought this Harry Potter Professor McGonagall doll in 2019 so Grandma Barbie would have a senior friend. I think Mattel did a nice job capturing her likeness. I’m so glad she is part of my doll collection.
Dame Maggie Smith, the talented actress who brought Professor McGonagall to life. From her iconic roles in ‘The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie’ and ‘Downton Abbey’ to her unforgettable portrayal of Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter series, Smith has enchanted audiences with her wit, charm, and impeccable acting skills.
Her numerous accolades, including two Oscars, four Emmys, and one Tony Award, are a testament to her extraordinary talent and enduring impact on the entertainment industry.

Plus, there’s the thrill of the collect-them-all mentality. Will this be the piece that completes my set? The suspense is part of the fun!

Interested in Auto Minis? 🚗
These miniature pieces are from the @supercheap_auto New Zealand / Australia promotional from a couple of years back - 2022 - where you got 3 free minis with every 30$ spent. Don’t you wish they would do that where you live?
@matbustudio collected them for me ♥️👵🏻 because he knows I’m always looking for 1:6 scale miniatures for my Barbie size world. #supercheapauto #minithings #barbiesize #miniatureworld #tinythings
🌽 How do you feel about corn on the cob? It’s one of the things I will miss from our summertime BBQs. 🍖
Happy #MiniatureMonday! 🎉 Just scored the adorable @officialminiverse corn on the cob 🌽 and I’m obsessed! This whole mini meal is MiniVerse - they’ve seriously raised the bar for store-bought minis. 😍 🍖🌽🥗🍄🟫🥝

Dame Maggie Smith 1934 - 2024
I bought this Harry Potter Professor McGonagall doll in 2019 so Grandma Barbie would have a senior friend. I think Mattel did a nice job capturing her likeness. I’m so glad she is part of my doll collection.
Dame Maggie Smith, the talented actress who brought Professor McGonagall to life. From her iconic roles in ‘The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie’ and ‘Downton Abbey’ to her unforgettable portrayal of Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter series, Smith has enchanted audiences with her wit, charm, and impeccable acting skills.
Her numerous accolades, including two Oscars, four Emmys, and one Tony Award, are a testament to her extraordinary talent and enduring impact on the entertainment industry.
