IwakoErasers Bulk Overstock (Pack of 30)

I bought two sets of 30 for party favors for my 9-year-old daughter because she's very into Iwako erasers. I was a little afraid of lots of duplicates/boring ones, given some of the reviews. It's definitely a random mix, but the number of duplicates is not bad, and the only real duds, I'd say, are two boring black footballs. Among the rest, there are about 15 animals, a bunch of trucks, some other sports stuff, lots of foods, and some other random stuff, like a set of teeth with cavities in it. :) Most of them are extremely cute. I think it will make for a fun "grab bag" type thing. Because of the risk of duplicates/odd ones, I did buy more than we really need, and I would recommend that to others, too, so you can cull any real duds. But I have no problem with that, given that most are super cute, the price was really good, and this is "the" hot thing as far as my daughter is concerned. Overall, I'm very pleased. I'd say, yes, expect some randomness as with any assortment -- but go for it!

These have been amazing! I bought them to use as prizes in my classroom. Yes, there were duplicates, but not as many as I was expecting. I only had three duplicate erasers. The erasers are highly detailed and can be taken apart and put back together. I was very impressed with the quality. My students absolutely loved them and now trade them around the in classroom (sometimes even during lessons. Oops.) My pack came with a fairly even mix of animal erasers and other erasers. Among the ones I received were a pizza, a stapler, a toothbrush, a dinosaur in an egg, and a ping pong paddle with little mini png pong balls.My students refuse to erase with these, but as they are erasers I did test out actually erasing with some of them. Some of them have plastic parts or decoration, but they all have eraser parts as well, and seem to erase pretty well.These were so popular with my students, that I bought another pack of the overstock erasers to give to my young second cousins. Again, they were a big hit. These erasers are a wonderful buy as long as you aren't picky about which ones you receive.

Well, I got 29 erasers (I triple counted to make sure I didn't miss one) of 23 different types (6 were duplicates), so I guess I got my money's worth? Not entirely sure how expensive these things are if you aren't buying in bulk. They are great quality, all individually wrapped. I'll use them as rewards for my 3 year old, but I can't give him the duplicates, so I effectively only got 23 out of this batch. Still, it was fun to open up and sort through so many, and I'll probably order this again once I figure out what to do with the duplicates.

Authentic Iwako, no doubles, awesome pack great for gift bags, rewards, stocking stuffers, present toppers, keep in purse for "emergency play," etc! Super fun, adorable critters, food and sports items (no guns here, as some others have had), beautifully made, non-toxic. Love them. Kids also love them as insta-toys at birthday and other parties (have a bowl of them out), keeps them busy. Be mindful that they each have 2-3 removable parts (like a mini puzzle) and that they would be choking hazards for tiny ones. The seller I purchased from sells authentic Iwakos, which are factory sealed and always have labels on the bags that say Iwako, Made in Japan. Beware of fakes, form China!

Wow, I bought overstocks and only got two repeats?! If there's different sellers I bought from Lily-Valley something like that. These would look mighty impressive in birthday party swag bags. Also handy for a classroom treat that skips over special diets and food allergies. Adorable too, there's soda cans and sports balls and from the panda to the dinner plates, it's all nice looking. There's not an ugly one in the bunch, and they're very realistic. Most could be used as accessories to other toys so there's a lot of play value, but the scale varies from American Girl doll size slices of cake to dollhouse miniatures. It's meant to be an eraser so that's just a bonus feature, add imagination and have fun.

No duplicates!

I was really excited to receive these erasers as I bought them for my son's kindergarten teacher's toy chest. I figured these would make great, unique rewards for the kids. Shipping was fast and all the erasers came individually wrapped. The quality and details on these erasers were great. However, there are many duplicates so if you are looking for one of each kind, chances are that won't happen. I received 3 of the same of three different erasers and 2 of the same of 6 different erasers. This isn't really a problem for my original purpose, however, the reason why I am only giving 3 stars is because I was disappointed that I did not receive any type of animal. I only received food, school, hygiene and sports items. Because of this, I am thinking about having to order a different set, specifically one that is all animals.

I have made several purchases of these erasers! I am a 5th grade teacher and use these as prizes. I have to say, the kids go nuts over them! There is one for everyone. Some of the erasers come with different parts so they are also like mini toys. My students actually collect them instead of using them as erasers. I have students who keep a small box and collect more "friends." The erasers that I have purchased came with sea animals like otters, dolphins, whales, and sting rays. There are also horses, unicorns, gorillas, bunnies, and dogs. I purchased a set of the desserts which the kids also really liked. There were a few of them that the kids don't know because they are Japanese desserts. Each of the eraser comes individually wrapped in plastic bag. Overall, these are great! I will definitely continue to buy!

Ordered from new seller Cool Japan Market. Best price by far, probably an introductory price to garner some feedback (which I've left for the seller; I'm very satisfied). Bought 2 packs of 30 overstock erasers and 2 packs of 20 animals. There were no duplicates within any of the packs, which is superb; however 15 of the 20 animals in the animal pack were also present in the other set (so I now have 4 copies of each of 15 animals, which is OK for my purposes). Some of the objects and vehicles in the assortment were different from one pack to the other, but they were chosen with care and are very similar.Used as rewards for children (ages 4 and 7) and the kids love them and play with them a lot (together!!). They prefer the animals, and build habitats and medical facilities for them from construction paper and clementine boxes. The erasers have a very pleasant, flexible feel, and they smell fine -- like erasers! Taking them apart and putting them back together is fun, although the younger one lost the eyes of the turtle (satisfactorily replaced with black play-doh which has now dried; Sculpey would be my next option if the play-doh crumbles too easily). These are larger and more playable (and to me, much cuter) than Shopkins.Now that I've purchased the "low-hanging fruit", so to say, I suspect sourcing more, different Iwako erasers will be much more difficult than this was. Still better than buying concealed packs of Shopkins for massive prices!

I loved everything I got just the thing I I kinda dislike about it is it all came majority of food but that’s ok :) next time I’m just gonna buy bulk of food and animals next time

Something new for the kids to use and play with!

Bought these as prizes for the kids.... Trying new foods... Potty etc. They are perfect and super cute
