Sumikko Gurashi: A Second Helping of Corn, Stationery Style

In which I finally find time for some Corn love. Hooray! I finally get a chance to talk about these items I had remaining from the recent and amazing Shirokuma’s Nice and Warm Corn Soup collection from Sumikko Gurashi (see here for the plushies). I’ve got three types of items today, the first of which […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Re-ment Sumikko Everyday Terrarium

In which sweet little Sumikko are perfect no matter the season. My love of a good Re-ment terrarium is pretty well documented. I’ve written about several of the Pokemon sets, but I also own a number of others, mostly Sumikko-related. I’d forgotten that my recent amiami order included one too. It has the rather long […]

Sumikko Gurashi: A Whole Plateful of Corn Plush

In which I might be the laziest blogger ever, but hey! I bring corn! I really will try to be better about writing, but I’m back today, with new Sumikko Gurashi content no less (and more on the way). And I’m extra stoked about today’s goods, because they’re from the collection I’m going to translate […]

Pokemon: Re-ment Pokemon World Sparkling Sea

In which we take a Pokemon-filled trip into shallow but pleasant waters. I was excited to see this Re-ment set from the moment its preorder was announced; after all, I haven’t been shy about how much I love water features in figures and some of the Pokemon featured here in general. And it turns out […]

San-x: Re-Ment Rilakkuma Yumemiru Hoshi no Starrium

In which redecorating means pulling out sets from the last couple of years, including this mostly great collection. I don’t own a huge amount of Re-ment related to Rilakkuma, but what I do buy tends to have a particularly distinct look. That’s most certainly the case with this collection called Re-ment: Rilakkuma Yumemiru Hoshi no […]

Sanrio: Re-Ment Cookie Mascot (2009, Partial Set)

In which I finally start digging into older stuff to organize The Mooon and rediscover a milestone set. It seems like any plans I make don’t work out the way I expected them to, yet they still work out, just in a form I didn’t anticipate. One of the original goals of this blog was […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Mogura Funwari Plush

In which I can never get enough mole, but still…. I’m on the record as being extremely pro-mole; they’re my favorite animal, and I got into Sumikko Gurashi at first because I thought there was a possibility Tonkatsu could be a mole when I very first saw him, and then I was double pleased to […]

Pokemon: Wicked Cool Toys Pokemon Advent Calendar

In which I inadvertently pick up a hot item and end up ridiculously happy with things. I finally broke down and bought a Switch over Thanksgiving, and while I was already at Target spending money I don’t have on things I don’t need, I figured I may as well add one more item — this […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Re-ment Funwari Mocchiri Yakitate Panyasan

In which we mix Sumikko, bakery goods and Re-ment for an unsurprisingly tasty treat. I’m still puzzling through the realities of the relationship between Sumikko and Re-ment. I’ve mentioned in other blog entries that I’ve always assumed that licensed character Re-ment sets are of lower quality, but I’ve been going through a lot of Pokemon […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Ebi Furai no Shippo Tenori Plush Gift

In which a shrimpy little gift gives me a great big smile. As I’ve been trying not to bite my fingernails off while we waited for election stuff, I got so behind I wasn’t even unboxing things coming in the mail. Since things have calmed down a bit, the tiniest of bits but a bit […]
