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, […]

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 […]

The Get List Gaiden: Pokemon Tea Party Pikachu Figure ~Pikachu Sweets Collection~

In which I spend way too much in order to, uh, not spend so much. Or something. It made sense back then. I mentioned Banpresto’s Pokemon for Grownups Too in a recent entry, and today’s figure comes from another subset of that line, called Pokemon Tea Party. It consists of lots of plush and a […]

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 […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Omoshiro Fan (Dagashiya) + Room Mat (Issho ni Otamarikai)

In which we have two sweet little treats from the Sumikko gang at a bargain price. I was going through my iPad the other day and realized I had photographed some items for the site and got, predictably, distracted by something else and forgot all about them. So let’s have a double feature of two […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Re-ment Doki Waku Kenkou Shindan

In which I’m not so impressed by the facilities, but you can’t beat the staff. I always hate admitting it, because I’m 4.51 million years old for starters, but I’m afraid of going to the doctor’s office. I have my reasons, none of which are super pleasant, but I get so nervous about visits I […]

Cute Character Goods: Yell Ojigi Set Three

In which I take a low-cost chance and it pays off in cuteness — and a mole! I love moles. I always have, ever since someone tried to get them off my parents’ property using soap and water flushed down their tunnels when I was a kid, and out of that tunnel flew a mole […]

San-x: Kokoroaraiguma Notepads x2

In which my tired heart could always use a good scrubbing, and I’m just so glad to have this crew along to help. I can’t really imagine a scenario in which I wouldn’t like Kokoroaraiguma goods. On my last amiami order, I managed to pick up these two notepads (about six inches high and four […]

Anime Goods: Re:Zero: Q Posket Figures Rem & Ram

In which I just end up a bit creeped out despite my high hopes. My experiences with Q Posket figures have been on the negative side. On the one hand, they’re a much cheaper choice for a character figure than, say, Nendoroid, running easily under $10 for recent releases on used good sites like Mandarake […]
