Code Geass R2 Recollections Mug Set

[lijianliang.livejournal.com]

I saw this mug set come up on Animate for preorder:

I immediately daww'd and basked in their cuteness for at least ten minutes.

What would you do with the mugs?

I'm slightly worried about the "recollections" part of the name though. Since Rolo is gone, is that an omen that Nunnally will be done for (and become a mere memory, too) by the end of R2? o.o

I'm not sure about how well the paint on the inside and outside would hold up over time. If I repeatedly poured hot liquid into the mugs and hand-washed them, would the paint come off in a month? A year? If anyone knows the quality of mugs like these, please do tell.

Release date: October 2, 2008
3.15" tall X 3" diameter
1,575 yen for set of two (~$15 USD)
Currently sold out on Animate

...Yes, they're a lot smaller than the standard mug in US. Here's a comparison photo with another mug of the same size as the R2 mugs.

I have a few anime cups (I collect them), and I never risk putting hot liquid in them. I just use them for milk :p That, and I always wash them by hand, never in the dishwasher.

Stinks that they're sold out, but thanks for posting this. I'll have to be on the look out!
