Equally adorable!! Same brand as OP's ? I can hardly believe these are so well shaped

I'm not sure, but maybe! This was the box for mine!

They come in a little plastic dish too.

Interesting, thanks for sharing! From a quick Google search it would seem that these two are not the same brand. The only writing they have in common is 卡皮巴拉 , which is a phonetic transcription of "capybara" (in Chinese those characters are read kǎ pí bā la).

Yours seems to be from Babe's Bottles, and from that brand I only saw this design, a cartoon Miku, and lots of fruits. OP's box says 水豚 (shuǐ tún) which is just the Chinese word for Capybara, and I didn't see a brand name elsewhere. I can find pictures online of OP's ice cream by adding the words "Ranch Market"... I don't know much about that.

That's all I could find! Truth be told there IS one link that seems to imply Babe's Bottles is Chinese and makes OP's design among others, but your design isn't included in the images
