Pokemon: Gigantamax Nyaasu (Meowth) Plush

In which OH MY GOD LOOKIT THE BIG BOY! I’ve got mixed feelings on the American Pokemon Center site. On the one hand, they’ve got terrible issues with stock and their customer service is slow as molasses when anything goes wrong–and, if I’m being honest, the merchandise really pales in comparison with what Japan has […]

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.

The Get List: Toreba: Two More Plush Pokemon Wins (Mew, Growlithe)

In which my already-retro Pokemon craze becomes a little more retro. My obsession with winning plush Pokemon on Toreba is never-ending, especially when I’m stressed. Lately, I’m feeling a bit better (well, at least I have times when I do), and it’s nice to have shipments come when the stress isn’t ultra bad — like […]

The Get List: Toreba: Three Yadon/Slowpoke Plush Wins in (About) One Week!

Pokemon: Re-Ment Tsunagete Kawaii Pokemon no Kaidan ~ Ameagari no Machi~

In which I’m just smitten with this Re-Ment set, just thoroughly in love with this twenty buck steal! For a long time, I didn’t buy Pokemon-related Re-ment. Why was that? Frankly, it’s because Re-ment licensed sets have been worse quality than their non-licensed ones. I’ve based that on “cute character” licenses like Sumikko Gurashi and […]

Games: Kirby: Soy Sauce Dish (Hovering)

In which I write a bite-sized entry about how I solved a bite-sized problem after way more than a full course of work.
