Pokemon: Gigantamax Pokemon Kids Figures

In which bigger is better. It’s honestly a relief to approach Pokemon from a point of view that isn’t game-centric. I can appreciate the aesthetics of the weakest Pokemon and base my opinions on the anime in almost everything, and when new abilities or plot elements come along I don’t have to worry about how […]

Anime Goods: Nendoroid Re:Zero Emilia

In which I start off slightly confused and end up extremely delighted. Rem and Ram weren’t the only Nendoroid I bought when there was a reissue of the figures — I snapped up Emilia, too. So I thought I’d show her off as well! First, excuse the poor quality box pic and lack of picture […]

Pokemon: Re-Ment Terrarium Collection EX Galar

In which I’m reminded yet again how awesome the Galar region is. This might just be my favorite of these Re-ment Pokemon terrariums (see here and here for recent reviews, and I’ve got at least one more waiting for a writeup)! It’s mostly because I’m quite fond of designs for the Galar region. We start […]

Anime Goods: Nendoroid Re:Zero Rem and Ram

In which a great wrong is righted. Re:Zero is not only a series I like a lot, it’s also one that has a very fond place in my heart. So I’m not sure exactly why I passed on the first run of these Rem and Ram Nendoroid, but I decided to remedy that as soon […]

Pokemon: Ceramic New Year Decoration

New Year’s is a big deal in my life for various reasons, and I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a new year so much. People say there’s no reason to think 2021 will be different than 2020, and that’s both true and not true. There’s nothing inherently different about a flip of the calendar page, […]

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 […]

The Get List: Toreba: Two More Pokemon Hokkori Iyasare Plush (Charmander, Jigglypuff)

In which I’m warmed and comforted by two Kanto region favorites. You might remember these plush I wrote about a while back — after loving the Gengar and Wooper ones, I wanted more of these soft little guys. These plush take me back to Pokemon Red and Blue and the first season of the anime, […]

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 […]

Pokemon: Pokemofu Doll Five

In which a rather random buy comes at a great time. In the very darkest depths of my 2020 depression, sometimes I just bought things that sounded good, even if I wasn’t sure quite sure what they were. That sort of random buying has its good sides and bad sides, and luckily the good side […]
