Pokemon Collection :)
Quick little post of my current (mostly new) pokemon collection.
I have been obsessed with pokemon since I first got Pokemon Red Version when I was about 10. Since then I have played every iteration of the game, owned bits and pieces of all kinds of merchandise and fallen in and out and then back in love with the TCG (Which I really need to get around to photographing and adding to this). About six months ago I thought long and hard about whether I was willing to get back in to collecting the cards and I figured that it couldn't hurt. 4 decks and a collectors tin full of loose cards later, I remembered why I loved collecting Pokemon things to start with, and my obsession came back in full force, leading me to dig out what few old pieces I had lying around the house and make the tough decision of which Pokemon to collect in non-card form. I eventually settled on my 'dream team', the team of Pokemon that I carry over to each game I play once I have finished the original story: Ninetales, Lucario, Leafeon, Glaceon, Vaporeon and Jolteon. For collection purposes I have expanded this list to include Riolu and Vulpix and depending on money, I might eventually expand it to include Eevee and the other eeveelutions not currently on the list.
I am also grabbing any cheap Snivy line stuff and Scraggy as well (there is something about a pokemon who has to hold up his own pants that amuses me) while they are everywhere, because these two are next on my list once I am done with the above mentioned pokemon.
Through stalking of ebay, webstores and pkmncollectors I have put together something that I have finally gotten around to uploading to here, and will continue to update it as I get more stuff (which will be small increments until I get a better job). So enjoy!
French memo board (which I only finished making today!) with my charms, flats and keychains:
Close up of the Lucario and Riolu stuff, so far my most diverse collection:
The entirety of my Lucario line babies... the plush only came in the mail today! By far the best thing to come home to :)
Some random pokeballs, from coin machines and keychains:
Eeveelutions figures! the internet is a glorious place for making it so easy to get my hands on these little guys:
My Kids figures, have a clear Vulpix on the way at the moment, no Ninetales stuff as yet because it all seems quite expensive.
Servine and Scraggy plushies thanks to the Big W toy sale... grabbed the last 2 on the shelf... take that small children who can't reach that high :D
And finally my current (non-card) collection. As you can see there is some old stuff in there (to be honest I didn't even remember I had the Butterfree keyring until I managed to dig it out of the cupboard (still can't remember where he came from) and I'm pretty sure the little puzzle looking flats were part of a collectible game with a magazine or something from years ago.
So that's it for now. Have a few things on the way that will get put up in a post once they are all here. And if anyone who sees this knows about the butterfree keyring or the flat puzzle piece game, please let me know what the deal is.
