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 […]

The Get List: Toreba: Three New Pokemon Plush (Larvitar, Teddiursa, Chicorita)

In which I add three new friends of varying quailty to my little hoard. I’ve had quite a lot of luck on Toreba lately — or maybe it’s not so much luck as me observing more (when I work, I tend to leave Toreba open to watch plays out of the corner of my eye, […]

San-x: Re-Ment Rilakkuma Yumemiru Hoshi no Starrium

In which redecorating means pulling out sets from the last couple of years, including this mostly great collection. I don’t own a huge amount of Re-ment related to Rilakkuma, but what I do buy tends to have a particularly distinct look. That’s most certainly the case with this collection called Re-ment: Rilakkuma Yumemiru Hoshi no […]

The Get List: Toreba: Two New Sleepy Pokemon Plush (Gengar, Snorlax)

In which I catch two chonky favorites mid-nap. Got time for a quick couple of Pokemon wins? I’ve got two sleepy bois who have been making me smile to show you today. Above, you can see my tremendously lucky win for this sleeping Gengar — normally when something looks this winnable it’s gotten wedged somehow […]

Pokemon: Gigantamax Pokemon Kids Figures

In which bigger is better. It’s honestly a relief to approach Pokemon from a point of view that isn’t game-centric. I can appreciate the aesthetics of the weakest Pokemon and base my opinions on the anime in almost everything, and when new abilities or plot elements come along I don’t have to worry about how […]

Pokemon: Wicked Cool Toys Pokemon Advent Calendar

In which I inadvertently pick up a hot item and end up ridiculously happy with things. I finally broke down and bought a Switch over Thanksgiving, and while I was already at Target spending money I don’t have on things I don’t need, I figured I may as well add one more item — this […]

The Get List: Toreba: Two More Pokemon Hokkori Iyasare Plush (Charmander, Jigglypuff)

In which I’m warmed and comforted by two Kanto region favorites. You might remember these plush I wrote about a while back — after loving the Gengar and Wooper ones, I wanted more of these soft little guys. These plush take me back to Pokemon Red and Blue and the first season of the anime, […]

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 […]

Pokemon: Pokemofu Doll Five

In which a rather random buy comes at a great time. In the very darkest depths of my 2020 depression, sometimes I just bought things that sounded good, even if I wasn’t sure quite sure what they were. That sort of random buying has its good sides and bad sides, and luckily the good side […]
