The Get List: Toreba: Sumikko Gurashi Primitive Era Plush XL Neko

In which I don’t have to understand the design to love the design. Another win from my recent Toreba haul — I had to try for this one since the very premise made me smile. Why did they decide to make Sumikko as cave people? Why Penguin? and Neko in particular? I don’t know for […]

San-x: Three Kokoroaraiguma Delights

In which I spend the first of many, many wasteful expenditures on this adorable line and I just. Can’t. Help. It.

Sumikko Gurashi: Sumikko House w/ Garden Terrace (+ New Tenori Plush)

In which Meat Dad takes his kids and moves into a lovely little family home in the corner of town.

Sumikko Gurashi: Tonkatsu & Ebi Furai no Shippo Fan Book

In which we celebrate Tonkatsu and Ebi Furai no Shippo even more than usual around here.

Sumikko Gurashi: Ebi Furai no Shippo + Tonkatsu Okigae Agekko Plush

In which we have an unboxing and a half. I’ve been spoiled (and my money devastated) by the recent Sumikko Gurashi designs! Lately they’ve gotten me with lots of Tokage with dreamy colors and then the Age Age Agekko lineup starring the fried characters that are my very favorites. (I thought I might get off […]

The Get List (Gaiden): Yell Funwari Yuru-Yuru Dinosaur x 8

In which, if life’s got to be janky sometimes, we remind ourselves there is charm in the jank. I guess I can’t really call this a review blog. It’s really me taking about things I specifically sought out, usually made by companies like Movic or Sanrio or San-x that are known for creative and high […]

The Get List (Gaiden): Yell Mochifuwa! Umiushi-san Big Sea Slug Plush x 5

In which I compensate for splurging with learning and get some of the coolest prize plush ever. I’ve always had a special fondness for those animals that aren’t considered cute by default. I discovered Sumikko Gurashi because I thought Tonkatsu was my overall favorite animal, a mole. And then he was a fatty piece from […]

The Get List: Tokyo Catch: Sumikko Gurashi Tokage Plush Double Feature

In which I ask you to ignore the weird sound of our air conditioning as Tokage skitters cutely across the screen. I’ve still got some stragglers left over from my last Tokyo Catch haul, and since both of these are of Tokage I thought I may as well combine them. I like Tokage a lot, […]

The Get List: Tokyo Catch: Cinnamoroll Konekoneko Plush

In which I’m reminded just how snuggly this little pup can be, especially as a cat. My enthusiasm for Tokyo Catch has probably peaked (I may write more on why soon), but I still have a few prizes to go over! Today we’ll talk about the Cinnamoroll Konekoneko Big Plush. Cinnamon is one of my […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Age Age Agekko Lunch Plush Set

In which the lunch definitely isn’t free, but it’s a hell of a meal nonetheless. There’s something to say for all of the Sumikko and Minikko — there’s no favorite that surprises me. Love Neko’s sweet worried nature or Zassou’s positivity or Tokage’s love for his mom or Nisetsumuri’s shame over his identity the best? […]
