I really want to get jewels to get those items! Also I was able to get the beige, yellow, black, and white ribbons before I can out of shells.
There was a box on my home, but when I clicked on it, a jack in the box popped out and said "Happy April Fool's" or something like that. I did not get any item, so yeah.

I loved that jack in the box XD I saved 884 shells so I will be off throwing them in the spring. have not looked at the ribbons yet because I would like a surprise. *Edit* so I threw in all my shells, then I recyled all the items I knew where worthless. witch gave me another 126 shells. now I am checking out the items I am not sure of, one thing I got was this bag: oribon.info/item/C5GwfH6A7n0e.htmlof the ribbons I got every color and some double. what did you girls get, and was there anything that was unexpected rare?

Maybe the joke is that the site is called "PoupéeBoy"?

That Ken near the shell spring in town looks indeed totally like a creep I got the pink ribbon after posting a new item, threw in about 50 shells but got nothing special. Will the animal kanji turn into real animals?

I threw in 205 shells and got the orange ribbon (which I'm going to sell) and the pudding - I'm disappointed in a way, because I thought (since it came with all these ribbons) I could put the pudding on my head!!

Got the pudding and 3 ribbons! Lavendar, mint and light blue!

bought the pig kanji because I think that its the cheapest and it's in pink if you guys want to buy it you better hurry because it only available until 2nd April which is today in JST ^_^
and about the ribbon I've throw all of my shell and could not get the green one so I buy it on the market ^_^

I wonder what it will become pigurou!
I think many people got that bag from the shell spring because I see it in the market a lot.

I don't think it would become anything ishje, but its such a pity if it didn't because it has cute pattern in it ^_^ I think that bag has recently become available on the spring because I could see it on the recent oribon shell spring list ^_^

you don't think it would turn into an item? I can't believe they would leave it as kanji. because then what would have been the point of making it secret? but we will see

Someone in the LJ comm emailed the poupee staff to inquire about the animal items, and the staff replied that the items won't change. ( poupee-girl.livejournal.com/6020576.html#comments near the bottom of the page) D: I think it's kinda weird to ask jewels for those items if they aren't gonna change, since I think a lot of users assumed they would?

is that so? I read from LJ that many people did think that it would change, many people also think that its a scam well we just have to be careful from now on but I think that it would be more interesting if it did change ^_^

I felt completely deceived! They sold 'surprise' items on April's Fool and I totally imagined those would change into real animals...ARGH! I was tricked into spending hardly earned money into ugly kanjis that will sell LOW on the auction. Talk about disappointment...

it could not be that the joke is they are telling everyone that they don't change but eventually they will? I find it strange they would pull a trick like that, it is a bit mean, even for a April fools joke. especially considering the amount of money they have made on them.

Thankfully I didn't buy any of it but I've been watching the discussion on LJ and I honestly think they didn't want to trick people into believing the animals would turn, the joke was the shop itself which looked like it sold animals but it only sold kanji. It was quite confusing and easy to misunderstand though and it was a stupid idea to make it a jewel shop. The company probably received a ton of complaints now though and are trying their best to apologize as humbly as they can. Such a silly joke and it turned out really uncomfortable for everyone involved. I bet there will be no more April Fool's jokes from now on On the bright side the items were very limited after all, so maybe they won't sell that low. There seem to be some people who genuinely like them and I don't think they look bad in cute outfits either, they're quite quirky and cool accessories.

Can I see somewhere how these Kanji look?? I think it's quite mean from them to sell them for Jewels!! If it's such a joke, why not for Ribbons? And they put question marks around "Animal Kanji" just like it could be a surprise in it or something. So I REALLY hope it wasnt intended to mislead people...

Omg I've just read through everything and it seems like the animal shop was just an april fools joke.. can't believe that I actually bought one for 100 jewels D: After reading about the ribbons before I threw some shells in the spring and luckily recieved the orange one (which I thought was yellow until my sister pointed it out just now -.-")

This year's april fool's joke seriously sucked D; they should've made it a ribbon shop! i seriously hope that pupe will see the fault in their actions and apologize in the shape of something awesome to the users who bought the kanji -_-

Yeah, I can believe this mess wasn't what poupee intended, since they don't really do mean april fool's jokes usually, but it'd be nice if they apologized/gave something to the users who were duped.
It's best when they have super cheap, funny ribbon shops on April Fool's like the Ken shop a few years back.
