received: April 08, 2014 | order period: January 27, 2014 ~ February 17, 2014
cost: $81 USD (photobook + calendar + ems + domestic shipping)
WARNING: IMAGE HEAVY
the set included a photobook, mini dvd, notebook, glass polishing handkerchief, A1 poster, A2 poster, A4 poster, photocard, 45 photocards + tin case, L holder, detachable LCD cleaner, transparent sticker
I already took everything out of the plastic wrappings so I'll just jump right into the photobook itself, haha.
the photobook's cover design is pretty simple with a back shot of suho and bold font
(sorry for the crease, I looked through it first)
this photobook has nearly 300 pages like OMG. this is in comparison to my melting photobook
the photobook's photos are divided into different sections instead of being chronological order like other photobooks, which I thought was really unique
all of the photos were very high quality! not a single one was grainy or blurry, which was wonderful. I found that there was a good mixture of released and unreleased photos (more leaning towards unreleased, hehe)
on the back of the very last page they had a little "thanks to" for all the photographers which was a sweet gesture ^^
the back had "heavenly forest made in heaven first photobook" printed on it in smaller font
there were SO many goodies. I was so surprised when the box was so heavy
the L holder has a pretty dramatic photo of suho on it
A4 poster
A2 poster
A1 poster
and here's all the posters together for a size comparison (the A1 poster is the same size as the growl poster, FYI)
the notebook has a super cute fan art ;;
this is the mini dvd, which has the same cover as the photobook
it has 6 tracks on it (which I have yet to watch)
the glass polishing handkerchief also has a super cute fan art on it
I originally thought these were stickers but they're actually postcards, LOL
a special gift were bookmarks(?)
the sticky notes had a cute cover!
the notepad also had fan art printed on it (possible my favorite, hehe)
at first I had no clue what this was, but turns out it's the detachable LCD cleaner
a large sticker
and a pen!
there was a little stain and I still can't seem to get rid of it...
and then the tin case + photocards. there were originally supposed to be 30 but made in heaven made 45? omg
the stack was a centimeter in height
each card had suho's autograph to made in heaven (so precious ;;)
going through everything was such a chore and I got my money's worth. I honestly was not expecting this much stuff, so I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived at my front door in a giant box. I may have to change my favorite suho fansite from upperclass to made in heaven... all the photos in the photobook were gorgeous and high quality. the photoshopping they did was barely noticeably and enhanced the photos so much.
I'm actually quite surprised with how much goodies were made. all the other photobooks I own pale in comparison. I can't even imagine how long it took to sort and fold everything. I also really liked how they didn't skip out on the quality either, and everything was very well made. I was quite taken aback by how large the A1 poster was....
overall, I am completely in love with this photobook and at this point in time it is definitely my favorite!
