Pokemon: Pokemon Scale World Galar Region Vol 2

In which I add a whole bunch of play value, and some novelty, to my Pokemon figure collection. Even in figure collecting, which is pretty niche as it is, I’m hardly the typical buyer. I buy more candy toys and blind box trading figures than anything else, and most of that is food from companies […]

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 […]

Pokemon: Re-ment Terrarium Collection Five

In which I’m developing a serious addiction to these things, god help me, but we all know I’m weak to water. It’s just a pattern now — I see Pokemon terrarium collections from Re-ment, I justify adding them to my cart to “make the shipping worth it,” I repeat. The repetition is soothing my jangled […]

Pokemon: Megahouse GEM Figure: Type:Electric Electric Power!

In which they’re no Ghost Types, but they’re pretty awesome as they are. Remember last month or so when I got this Ghost Type Pokemon figure from MegaHouse and absolutely fell in love with it? That thing has a place of honor in our living room, where light from a high window hits it just […]

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 […]

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 […]
