Pokemon: Re-ment Pokemon Forest 5

In which structural problems definitely hinder the experience, but the overall result is pretty awesome. In a similar spirit to the Pokemon Rainy City Stairs figure I recently talked about here, I’m back today with another Pokemon offering from Re-ment: Pokemon Forest 5! While all Pokemon are amazing and cute in their own way, Eevee […]

Pokemon: Gigantamax Nyaasu (Meowth) Plush

In which OH MY GOD LOOKIT THE BIG BOY! I’ve got mixed feelings on the American Pokemon Center site. On the one hand, they’ve got terrible issues with stock and their customer service is slow as molasses when anything goes wrong–and, if I’m being honest, the merchandise really pales in comparison with what Japan has […]

Pokemon: Re-ment Tsunagete Cord Keeper Three

In which at least I get some cute Pokemon out of a probably-foolish spending decision. The hubs and I were talking the other day about “Cord Keeper” type figures, and when these Re-ment Pokemon Tsunagete Cord Keeper 3 figures went on sale at amiami (from a regular price around $42 to a sale price around […]

Pokemon: Re-ment Terrarium Collection Four

In which I finally get off my butt and write about this cute little set. The trend of really good Pokemon-themed Re-ment continues with this set, the fourth in the Terrarium Collection series, and the selection of Pokemon was so cute I couldn’t resist this for about $35 at my old friend amiami. Let’s look […]

The Get List: Toreba: Two More Plush Pokemon Wins (Mew, Growlithe)

In which my already-retro Pokemon craze becomes a little more retro. My obsession with winning plush Pokemon on Toreba is never-ending, especially when I’m stressed. Lately, I’m feeling a bit better (well, at least I have times when I do), and it’s nice to have shipments come when the stress isn’t ultra bad — like […]

The Get List: Toreba: Three Yadon/Slowpoke Plush Wins in (About) One Week!

In which that kind of Pokemon luck will never happen again, so I’m celebrating it to the point of making a commemorative video. I can’t remember the names of my students or deadlines I write down or the most basic tenets of the language I speak a good chunk of the time, but for some […]

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 […]

The Get List: Toreba: Pokemon Hokkori Iyasare Plush (Gengar, Wooper)

In which two of my favorite Pokemon are won in about a forty-eight hour period, and turn out especially snuggly and adorable. I’m not sure who my two favorite Pokemon are, but I know my top three are Gengar, Wooper, and Nyaasu (I really don’t like the American dub’s Meowth voice, and for some reason […]

The Get List: Toreba: Pokemon Kairyuu (Dragonite) Kutsurogi Mecha Deka Plush

In which everything lines up just so to combine a lucky win with a Pokemon I’m extra fond of lately. I’ve got another Toreba win for you today, and it turned out to be an amazing delight — I’m going to call it the Pokemon Sleepy Time Super Huge Kairyuu/Dragonite Plush. One thing you come […]
