- Pokemon Christmas Bash
He's a little late, and only one Bulbasaur, but he did show up in time for Christmas!♥
I love him, you guys. ;u; His name is Paisley. Because... y'know... he's patterned. Oh I am hilarious.
Squee! He's not as ~BIG~ as I would like him to be, considering price and all, but I don't really care he is presh. He's actually a reward present from my boyfriend for meeting his word count goal for me during the last week of NaNoWriMo when I needed an extra push. |D I was so excited to get him. <3
So faaat.
BULBGRAB
This tag I cannot even handle. ;A; Bulba why. Why so cute.
SPEAKING OF BULBAS SURPRISE I ALSO LIKE VENUS. This one arrived looking derp and like he'd been sat on. XD Silly Venu.
I got this figure from
pegasus2010, who was really nice to me. Now he wanders my home roaring at my kitties.
My Bulbanus to date (minus another small plush from a GA). SOMEONE RESTRAIN ME. PHYSICALLY. The flowertoads, you guys. They're just too froggish and adorable and it is a danger. I've always loved Bulbasaur best out of the Kanto starters and Venusaur is still to date the only final starter evolution I love, which is purely because of that derpfaced Hasbro battle figure (on the far right) that I've had for ever. I need to FIRMLY DECIDE which merch I will allow myself to get and then STOP, like Turtwig. I think I can, I think I can...

BIG PACKAGE AHOY~ Some of this is from various sellers, some of it is from
sorjei, but all of it came from her house because she's a darling and hoarded items for me. X'D
Plush, settei, flats, figures, customs! It is glorious!
(DON'T BE ALARMED BY THE POLI LINE POSTCARD! I know two beautiful people also purchased one for me AND I LOVE YOU BOTH FOR IT VERY DEEPLY. Duplicates of that adorable art is VERY much welcome! I plan to make a little mosaic on my wall or something. THANK YOU GUYS♥)
Can I just... highlight this. UNIQUE POLITOED ART. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS ART BEFORE. I AM ALL OF THE FEELINGS. ;AAA;
Worlds 2012, you were so good to me. I was able to acquire a competitor name card, along with splitting a set of those Worlds deck pack thingies with
sorjei to get the purple deck box and the pamphlet.
Does anyone have any of the other 3 deck boxes for sale? I'd like all the colours!
THE STUFF
sorjei MADE ME AREN'T THEY ADORABLE. A Christmas/winter 'toed card (eee he's making a snowtoed), Croagunk-cosplaying-Politoed sculpture, Palpitoad snowball ornament (who is being festive on my family's large tree atm), Politoed PUMPKIN SO COOL (this was made over Halloween haha), and... POSSIBLY THE BEST CUSTOM POLITOED EVER?
Let me show you.
This is actually a frog puppet of some kind. You stick your hand in his back and squish the mouth and it presses a button that makes it ribbit. AND SINCE IT WAS ALREADY GREEN AND YELLOW SHE MADE IT A POLITOED. HOW... HOW CAN SOMETHING BE SO COOL?!
CUSTOM ADDED HAIR CURL
CUSTOM ADDED PINK FROG CHEEKS
CUSTOM ADDED BELLY SWIRL
CUSTOM ADDED YELLOW TOE TOPS
Bottom of the feet were already yellow SO SHE FREAKIN' INGENIOUSLY ADDED SOME GREEN I CAN'T EVEN HANDLE IT. He's so big and squishy and cuddly too ahhh I don't deserve these things. ;A;
Another random get is that Karrablast MPC plush from the group photo. Why? Well... whenever you find yourself asking why I like something, ask yourself again: is it fat? Is it GRUMPY? Therein lies your answer. I blame
sorjei but I've come to love the fat grump omg.
LOOK. LOOK HOW GRUMPY. AND CANCEROUS. This made me laugh like... way too much. I've named him Kablamo the Cancerbug and he's just so aggro.
He dares you to try and eat him.

Final get:
Black 2, finally! \o/ My boyfriend ordered us both copies and let me pick which I wanted so my version is Australian lawlz. He got those coins with them and sent them to me to keep them nice.
Aaand have a couple shots of my mini Pokemas tree, decked out similarly to last year, and again with epic Wobbuffet!angel. No one is more excited about Christmas than he is. BD
As an aside, if you enjoy photos of Pokemon merchandise, I have a
tumblog for that here.
I'll be back again sometime after Christmas, hopefully with a photostory. cx Can't wait to get my pressie~ I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday! If you've been good Santatoed might leave you something. ♥
