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 […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Mogura Funwari Plush

In which I can never get enough mole, but still…. I’m on the record as being extremely pro-mole; they’re my favorite animal, and I got into Sumikko Gurashi at first because I thought there was a possibility Tonkatsu could be a mole when I very first saw him, and then I was double pleased to […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Re-ment Funwari Mocchiri Yakitate Panyasan

In which we mix Sumikko, bakery goods and Re-ment for an unsurprisingly tasty treat. I’m still puzzling through the realities of the relationship between Sumikko and Re-ment. I’ve mentioned in other blog entries that I’ve always assumed that licensed character Re-ment sets are of lower quality, but I’ve been going through a lot of Pokemon […]

Sumikko Gurashi: Ebi Furai no Shippo Tenori Plush Gift

In which a shrimpy little gift gives me a great big smile. As I’ve been trying not to bite my fingernails off while we waited for election stuff, I got so behind I wasn’t even unboxing things coming in the mail. Since things have calmed down a bit, the tiniest of bits but a bit […]

The Get List: Toreba: Sumikko Gurashi Chocolate Biscuit Ribbon Tokage Plush

In which I get an easy win and a really cute addition to my Sumikko plush collection. I don’t remember if this one was a free ticket, but if it wasn’t, it was close — I wasn’t really expecting to get this plush at all! But as I’ve said many times, I’m a sucker for […]

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, […]

Magazine: Pucchigumi September 2020

In which I get a little bit of childhood bliss with my friends the Sumikko asking for the ride. Does anyone else feel like time goes both really slowly and quickly with all the stupid stuff associated with 2020? I’m constantly behind on everything professionally and personally, but at the same time I just noticed […]

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 […]
