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 […]

The Get List: Toreba: Pokemon Slowpoke/Yadon Tsuretette Plush

In which I really need to get that other Sumikko Gurashi Corn stuff up here, but for now, it’s Yadon! Remember the cute little Psyduck plush I won on Toreba recently — the one called Tsuretette, (Take Me With You)? I noticed on the Bandai Spirits website a little bit ago that they were making […]

The Get List: Toreba: Pokemon Psyduck Hokkori Iyasare Plush

In which these Pokemon plush reach new heights of softness. I wrote just recently about Psyduck, so I’ll make this one rather brief, but I couldn’t help but show off this dear little fellow I won for the hubs. I spent about $25 on this plush, and honestly thought I’d wasted it — I finally […]

Pokemon: Perrserker (Nyaiking) Poke Plush

In which there’s finally an evolution of Nyaasu that I love — and I really, really love it! One of the nicest things about writing a blog is that it makes me think a lot more about collecting and fandoms, picking favorites and making comparisons. For example, when I very first started getting back into […]

The Get List: Toreba: Pokemon Pikachu Coco Plush

Way back when I first fell in love with Pokemon, I remember looking forward to the first movie. Now I’m 7.7366543 trillion years older, that original movie is old enough to have been remade in CGI that makes me feel extra old, and I’m looking forward to the — oh my good lord — twenty-third […]

The Get List: Toreba: Pokemon Psyduck/Kodakku Tsuretette Plush

In which only the haunted stare of a Psyduck will do to soothe my jangled nerves. The only other time I can recall writing about Psyduck, I was still trying to standardize the blog with Japanese names, since most of my Pokemon gaming and anime viewing are in Japanese. But this is one of those […]

The Get List: Toreba: Pokemon Gengar Kutsurogi Time Plush

In which I like my Pokemon ghostly and my Gengar carpety. I had a genuinely depressing run on Toreba for a month or two recently; things that seemed like sure wins never turned out to be, and I wasn’t super thrilled with a perceived difficulty spike in machines for high demand plush. (I’m not doing […]

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 […]

The Get List: Toreba: Two Exceptionally Soft New Pokemon Plush (Snorlax, Pikachu)

In which I’ve got no complaints at all about these two sweet and extra soft friends. Hoo boy, my little “I’ll take a few days off the blog for the holidays” thing really got a bit out of control, there! As part of my New Year’s Resolutions, I’ll be trying to go back to daily […]
