Collection Update! Grail Acquired!
Hello all I'm back again with another collection update! In this collection update I did acquire a grail that I've been casually looking for, but didn't think I'd find. Anyways lets begin.
Warning Image Heavy!
Starting off with my convention gets! I went to a convention and got to see Luna again she was very nice and sweet as always. We even got to go out to eat afterwards and had such a good time. Thanks once again Luna <3
First off for the Cyndaquil Collection is a Cyndaquil Fit with the yellow tag! It was one of the few I needed for the tag and it was $25 which was a fantastic price.
The first purchase at the convention was the Saiko Soda Mudkip at $30. Decided to grab it since I was saving like $4-$5 in shipping from buying it off Mercari US LOL
And lastly for plush is this Banpresto Sprigatito that my mom picked out which we purchased from Luna herself. She sits at the desk my mom works from at home.
The artist Alley didn't have much Pokemon stuff, but I did find my good boi Cynda from one artist called Pixel Bound Studios do check them out!
That's all from the convention gets unless y'all want to be spammed with the 20 kid figures I purchased from Luna oops LOL
Starting off with the PokePark Carousel Legendary Beast Keychain that I acquired from China thnx to a good friend Null for helping importing it. Thank you so much Null once again for helping me acquire this. If I remember it was like $20 total and I'm so glad to have gotten it for a good deal.
Next up is a Pokémon Center 2008 A Lot of Pokemon Dolls! Sticker Sheet. I saw this on Mercari and immediately sniped it I had to have this like oh my god look at the Turtwig with his little Pokedoll Self it's so adorable ;u;
Best thing is it came with a 2nd so I have 2!
Also from the same seller as the stickers is a Pokémon Center 2010 Ice Box Cookies Tin obviously no cookies inside lol Super glad to have it in the collection. I have my Japanese Raikou Pokedoll sitting on top of it.
It's Christmas in July folks! Here's a 2008 Christmas pouch with my favs Turtwig and Munchlax! I couldn't resist purchasing this especially for like $12. I have been recently really into wanting to collect the 2006 Christmas campaign because the Pokedoll Turtwig is so adorable. The only thing I won't be able to acquire though is the actual pokedolls since I don't have $600 each for them, but I am making my own Turtwig using an Oversized to complete the collection.
I wasn't expecting to find this, but this randomly showed up and I instantly purchased it. I believe it is the original seal as it as a barcode on the back, but either way for $20 I couldn't pass this. Like it's sooo cute. I really love the Pokedolls, but the plush are just getting ridiculously high, so I'll stick with the cute merch instead lol
Acquired this Secret Base Torchic with the US Tag for $35. With the crazy increase in price of the Secret Base Cyndaquil I thought it would be best to scoop up the Hoenn starters before they start going for $200 like Cyndaquil...
After acquiring Torchic I decided to go look up the difference between a Mudkip Pokeplush and a Secret Base Mudkip once I knew I looked around on eBay and bam found one for a really good price of $28 Now I just need to acquire Treecko and Totodile. Hopefully I can find Totodile for the price I want it at, but I'm doubting it at this point.
Got this guy taken off my Wishlist finally. A TOMY 2005 Kuta Lucario. Idk the actual name of it so I call it Kuta since it's laying lol I think he's very cute and a neat little guy.
And with that Kuta Lucario I got the Takara TOMY 2009 Talking Piplup for free with it. Sadly it has no voice box, but that's okay. Though a friend did say he may be able to get me it, so hopefully! Either way I could always just make my own Piplup voice box. Also I've been obsessed with this Piplup that I've taken him with me to see a Firework show for 4th of July here in the US. We had a good time :)
Okay before I show off the grail I obtained I want to show what I recently got from a Chinese Shop Group Order.
Starting off with the reason I had to join was to get this Mousepad. I HAD TO GET IT! I absolutely love Raikou and I think y'all know that, but like oh my god it's adorable I just can't! It was only $6! The artist name is 饺子皮包馄饨皮卡. If anyone is interested please check out their Taobao store!
AND THERE'S MORE! My order came with multiple freebie stickers of the adorable boi in different sizes. And of course there was a Shiny one as well which is more of my favorite than normal Raikou.
I of course had to get the keychain as well because how could I not. I didn't know that it had a shiny side till I saw the proxies image because Taobao will not let me view the actual listings so I could only see the listing image cover and that was that lol The keychain was only $2.
I of course got more! Starter Keychain Sets. Though I did ask for Hoenn it seems the seller forgot to include it and didn't find out till it arrived to me. Oh well it was only $3 I don't mind I'll just have to get one through a friend.
Alright alright time for the grail.
The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Turtwig Plush! I didn't think I'd ever acquire one until it randomly showed up on eBay for $18. I panic ran to my mom because I only had $25 on my bank account and didn't have enough (It was $28 after tax and shipping). So she let me use her card to buy him and I just gave her my card to use on whatever idc all I knew was that I had HIM! I am so happy to finally have one after missing out on one from a friend. And he still has his Tush Tag even better! I just love him sooo much such an adorable little guy.
Too end things off I did a lot of rearranging and cleaning the collection up and adding a new display this only started because of a recent bug problem, so I had lot of anxiety. I checked everything luckily nothing terrible happened, but the bottom shelf was tainted -crying- They're okay though thank god. So not to keep the post going on forever here's an imgur link for the collection images incase any of y'all are interested in looking.
Thank you all for checking out my recent big collection update. Won't be any updates for some time as I have other things to take of first. Hope any of the American and Canadian peeps reading had a good holiday and that y'all are safe from the recent dangers. And of course hope everyone else had a good and safe week <3
