The Get List: Toreba: Amuse Resurrected Coelacanth Plush

In which, as always, I just can’t resist a little weirdo from the sea. Look who showed up in the mail, after a relatively short trip (for, you know, international shipping in 2020). It’s one of my most anticipated Toreba wins — this Amuse Resurrected Coelacanth Plush! Toreba uses some odd translation choices sometimes, but […]

The Get List: Toreba: Hokkai no Majuu Azarashi-san Big Melon Pan Plush

In which you can’t go wrong with melon pan, especially when it comes with a great new seal friend. I’m so behind on writing about Toreba wins! It’s almost a shame when you get several together in a shipment because I feel like the individuals don’t get enough focus. But I wanted to devote a […]

The Get List: Toreba: Amuse Pocket Dog Daishuugou Big Plush (Jack Russell Terrier)

In which a fluke nets me an awfully cute little pup. I almost feel bad writing this entry, because it was only getting another order of Toreba prizes in the mail (and you’ll be hearing plenty about those, believe me!) that reminded me that I had this sweet little guy sitting around and not written […]

The Get List: Toreba: Big Long Gulping Moray Eel Plush

In which I really, really want a goofy plush, and then really, really love that goofy plush. I get the most inexplicable Toreba obsessions sometimes, and this ガブガブうつぼ　ながBIGぬいぐるみ (Gabu-gabu Utsubo Naga BIG Nuigurumi, Big Long Gulping Moray Eel Plushy) from Amuse is a perfect example. I spent more than I care to admit trying to […]

The Get List: Toreba: Healin Good PreCure Latte Plush

In which I eat my words, but they’re delicious. A couple of entries ago, I said that licensed prize plush are often of lower quality than those not based on popular licenses, and I gave examples of Pokemon and Healin Good PreCure. I don’t know why I said the latter, actually, since this is the […]

The Get List: Toreba: Plushy Dinosaur Hunt x4!

In which no plushy dinosaur is safe from my crane game “skills,” and no two dinosaurs are quite alike, no matter what I thought. During my biggest Toreba-addict days, I got obsessed for a bit with stuffed dinosaurs. You know what they say about clinging to good childhood stuff when things get tough? That’s me […]

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 […]

The Get List: Toreba: Sumikko Gurashi Projector Light x2 + Giveaway!

In which I get a lucky win and pass the luck on.
