I wanted to show off some of the amazing gets I have received the past few months! This collection update is fairly belated.
HELLO LUCARIO GRAIL.
I have been pining after this guy for a long time! I missed out on the chance to get him very cheap here on the comm years ago, and since then I've been looking, but the prices usually go into the 400-500 range, which was more than I was looking to spend.
So when a GA cropped up for this plush, it worked out perfectly!! :D I finally have my amazing Heartland TOMY Lucario. Very high quality, much recommended.
My Riolus finally have a big bro now :D Lucario is Chekhov, the TOMY Riolu is Marco, and the Jakks PMD plush is Tiberius.
I was surprised to see he was made primarily of fleece, not velboa or minky. It's a high quality fleece though. The grey parts are faux suede, a personal favorite of mine. Eyes appear to be suedecloth with embroidery accents.
My boring photos probably don't give a proper sense of scale, so here's me holding his hand. He's a big boy!
Really nice attention to detail was given on every part of this plush.
His back. He has a small stain on his tail I haven't bothered cleaning out yet, but I will soon once I restock on Folex.
Next get is not quite so huge :D TOMY Rayquaza, won here on a recent auction. Geez I love him! Smaller than I expected, but I love to wrap him around my neck and hug him and play with him.
Dragon hugs! Axew is my husband's. :3
His name is Teotihuacan, or Teo for short. He's also made from the same high quality fleece material as Lucario.
I was very happy to be able to complete my vultures MPC set! These guys are my all-time favorite gen 5 'mons, so awesome and cute and badass! Bby vulture is Matilda, momma Vulture is Drusella.
Eeeee updates to my main collection :D Meet Rosco and Banana Cream!
Rosco is of course, a PokeTime plushie! I've been just over the moon with how much love Growlithe's been getting lately ;v; This plush is really cute, but the fabric is kind of annoying, it picks up lint and fluff like nobody's business! I work with a lot of faux fur, so there are always particles floating around in the air here... I had to wipe Rosco down before taking these photos.
There are a couple things that bother me about him, aside from the fabric, mainly the missing back stripe and elephant-like toenails.
Also if I were designing this, I would have probably made the tail over the top huge to counter the big head. I'm just nitpicking though, if you are a Growlithe lover, you should grab one before they become extinct in the wild. :) The canvas plush is still the best though! Can't get enough of those Canvas Growlithes.
Adorable embroidered footpads and soft belly. :3
And finally, may I introduce Banana Cream! :D He is a handmade plush by
cwinget!
Banana Cream is the first in a series of Growlithe plushies I'm having made by various artists. I'm so excited to see this all come together and I can't wait to show them all off when they're done :D As a custom plush artist, I LOVE seeing and owning other people's work, it's so interesting how everyone goes about a pattern differently. I find myself intrigued by other artist's choices and creative ideas.
This plush is very small, and it's so clean and well-made :D Look at the precision on those stripes!
Obligatory paws shot!
Bananaaaaaaaa I love you
That's all for now :D Hope to share some new gets next month, as well as celebrate the second year anniversary of getting my mirage 'lithe!
