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, […]

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 […]

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, […]

The Get List: Toreba: Two Pokemon Nyaasu/Meowth Plush Wins (Plus Some Well-deserved Appreciation!)

In which I actually win a couple of my dear little never-gets-his-due bakeneko friend. Pardon me if I do a little philosophizing along with the usual comments today, but geez my little Pokemon favorite Nyaasu (Meowth) never gets a break. It’s bad enough that in the anime he’s pretty much guaranteed to have his heart […]

Anime Goods: Re:Zero Ram Cute Witch Figure

In which I get an absolutely beautiful figure….but have no idea how. So the other day, right in the middle of election stress, I got this mysterious package at the door. Frankly, with the way my memory is, that’s not all that unusual–but what was unusual is that it was from Tokyo Otaku Mode. I’m, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
