A Very Victini Update
It's time for my first genuine collection update since...well, ever. I've been a member of this community for more than 18 months, but I by and large prefer to lurk in the shadows, making the odd, hopelessly unenlightening comment here and there and spending enough to take a seriously nasty chunk out of my wallet and yet never amassing the kind of collection that feels like much of a patch on anyone else's.
Victini has been my favourite Generation V pokemon since that fateful day I first laid eyes on him, and I knew right away that I was going to collect him. It took a while before the merchandise started appearing, but when it did...girl, have I been innundated. I've mainly been focussing on the plushes (which consume more than enough pennies in themselves, but hey, they're only going to get more expensive if I don't act now), so my collection isn't yet great quantity-wise, but hopefully a few other members of the comm will like it. Everyone else...try not to sneer too hard at him, mmmkay? ;)
All of my Victini plushes to date. Both Pokemon Centre Plushes I owe to denkimouse. Giant Victini Tomy was from nayumatapapa on Ebay and Banpresto Victini from Hardrock Pokemon. I've spent a miniature fortune on these guys right here - I was always hoping for a 1:1 plushie and knew I'd have to dig fairly deep for it, but...well, I wasn't expecting two giant plushies. My wallet's taken a heavy beating, and for the time being my capacity for spending money upon the smaller, less expensive Victini assortment has rather suffered for it.^^
(Oh, and I'm aware that the desk behind them is a shameful mess. IGNORE IT, OKAY?!!^^)

A glimpse of the rest of my collections, including my Slowkings (I'll let them take the spotlight in a future update), and my Dewott side collection (which as of now contains a grand total of two items). Oh, and ignore Spot, he just wants to be included.^^
I'm also planning on accumulating a side-collection for this magnificent creature, when merchandise becomes available:
That's right, Simisear is totally, utterly, adorably hardcore, and has absolute hold upon my heart - not my wallet yet though, owing to the current shortage of items in his likeness. On the one hand, it saddens me that the evolutions of the elemental monkeys have yet to receive any particularly substantial love, merchandise-wise. On the other, I'm still reeling from the cost of those cursed Victinis, so all I can say is, "Take your time, my dear primate."
And finally, my regular-sized Victini plush (I've named him Nixon, because...well, should be self-explanatory) chilling with Milo the megalomanical Patrat, who's apparently taken quite the shine to him (I think he's marked him out as a potential right-hand man). I fear that he would have liquidated me if I didn't find room to feature him somewhere in here. XD
That's it for now. Hope you enjoyed. :D
