Pokemon: Re-ment Tsunagete Cord Keeper Three

In which at least I get some cute Pokemon out of a probably-foolish spending decision. The hubs and I were talking the other day about “Cord Keeper” type figures, and when these Re-ment Pokemon Tsunagete Cord Keeper 3 figures went on sale at amiami (from a regular price around $42 to a sale price around […]

San-x: Kokoroaraiguma and Ashiaraiguma Plush

In which I still can’t get enough of these two soft little raccoons. I haven’t exactly been shy about my love for the newish San-x characters Kokoroaraiguma and Ashiaraiguma, so I had to include some goodies from them in my latest amiami order. In this entry, I thought I’d review the plush, which are nothing […]

Pokemon: Megahouse GEM Figure Ghost Type Daishuugou

In which I splurge and am relieved the result is awesome. I’m not sure if there’s a behavioral specialist alive that could understand my spending habits. I’ll spend hundreds of dollars on character goods and miniatures, but big money single purchases freak me out. I generally avoid figures in the hundred dollar range, but I […]

The Get List: Toreba: Sumikko Gurashi Chocolate Biscuit Ribbon Tokage Plush

In which I get an easy win and a really cute addition to my Sumikko plush collection. I don’t remember if this one was a free ticket, but if it wasn’t, it was close — I wasn’t really expecting to get this plush at all! But as I’ve said many times, I’m a sucker for […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Several Random New Things

In which we’ve got a lot of sweet cuteness to catch up on. Poor Sumikko — you’ve gotten a bit piled up with all this Pokemon! Let’s remedy that. It’s actually not that I haven’t been buying Sumikko stuff; it’s more that the things I’ve been buying require a bit of work to write about, […]

Magazine: Pucchigumi September 2020

In which I get a little bit of childhood bliss with my friends the Sumikko asking for the ride. Does anyone else feel like time goes both really slowly and quickly with all the stupid stuff associated with 2020? I’m constantly behind on everything professionally and personally, but at the same time I just noticed […]

Sanrio: 100 Character Stickers (2013)

In which I’m reminded just how many awesome Sanrio characters I’ve loved over the years (and, ugh, how many dumb dates I’ve had, too). Quite a long time ago, I went on a date with some guy. That’s almost all I remember about it, and the only reason I remember that is because we went […]

Pokemon: Morpeko Pumpkin Party Poke Plush

In which I am pretty sure I couldn’t say that title three times fast, but I sure can snuggle this little friend! I just made my first purchase from the US Pokemon Center, and I am ridiculously pleased by the whole thing. They have free domestic shipping for orders over twenty dollars and my stuff […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Tapioca Park Notepads x2

In which we return again to the lovely Tapioca Park, knowing this won’t be our last visit. I’ve still got some Tapioca Park-themed items to show you–today, let’s look at the standard San-x six-inch-by-four inch notepad, with both of the variations since I couldn’t choose just one. How many times have I said I love […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Agekko Rubber Charm Set

In which, just like always, I don’t leave a single fried friend on my plate. I guess it’s good my life is simple in one way, at least — San-x releases Tonkatsu-heavy merchandise, I buy Tonkatsu-heavy merchandise, I write about it delightedly here, and then I go eat some forty cent dinner with my leftover […]
