Gets, New Display, and Japan Collecting Tips?

[psychmoonshadow]

I haven't showed off my gets in months! Since my last gets post, I even got my own apartment, so now I can show off my merchandise in all its glory!

I'm also going to Japan at the end of the month for the first time ever! So I have some Poké-questions for y'all at the end of my post!

But first, the photos!

Ahhhhh I love your collection of food-themed items! I've been into "fake food" toys ever since I was a little kid, haha :'V those are so cute, and they look so nice the way you have them displayed as well!

It's pretty old by now, and I don't know if it's really what you mean by "food themed", but there was a Pokemon Center promotion back innnn 2000/2001 or so?? called Pokemon Cooking Club, featuring some very cute artwork of Pokemon, well, cooking. :V It seems like the merch has become pretty rare, similar to other old PC promotions, but I figured I'd mention it. Good luck on your search, and hope you have a great time in Japan!

Thank you so much! My obsession started with Pokemon chocolate molds and cookie cutters, to other kitchen utensils, now to pure food-themed merchandise! Fake food is so much fun! I am definitely tempted to buy some of that cute fake food they sell in Japan when I go! And thank you so much!

Ohhhh, thank you for the info! Any merch involving Pokemon and food (whether it's Pokemon cooking, or merch featuring Pokemon as food, or kitchen utensils featuring Pokemon) are all exciting to me! The Google photos from this Pokemon Cooking Club promotion look so cute! Thank you for telling me about it, and thank you for all of your lovely comments! <3

I'm in love with all the food-based items. Everything has such lovely little details!

I believe there was a Pikachu with ketchup gashapon series by Re-Ment, maybe that would fit in well with the rest of your foodie items!

Thank you so much! I love how detailed they are despite their size.

Yes, the ketchup Pikachu are so cute! The Re-Ment collections are SO dangerous, hehe!

There is a line of food themed pokemon called Pokemikke by showa note 2015 and onwards
These are stationary kind of items (such as notebooks, clear files or pencil cases) but are super cute!

Are there any more plans for Pokémon pop-up cafés in Japan? I'd love to go to one while I'm there!
At the moment, no announcements have been made for up-coming Pokemon themed cafes.

What are some good shops to hunt for Pokemon merchandise? I'm looking for old plush, figures, and zukan, as well as the Pokemon food merchandise mentioned above. I'll be in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, among others.
There are various resale stores in Akihabara. Go out the Electric Town exit -> Radio Kaikan is near the station and has a bunch of small stores inside on various floors with different stuff, Box Akihabara (next door to Radio Kaikan), Akiba Cultures Zone (a few minutes away from the station, on the same street as Kotobukiya). There are more resale stores in Akihabara, just wander around and find them. I also recommend Nakano Broadway (both Akihabara and Nakano are in Tokyo).

Will Pokemon Halloween merchandise still be available in Pokemon Centers by the end of the month?
The Halloween stuff is basically gone at this point.

I would love to hear

Thank you so much for all the info! It's a bit disappointing about the café and Halloween stuff, but I'm excited to check out the stores you've listed!

I would absolutely love to meet up while you're in town! My partner and I will be in Tokyo at the beginning and end of our trip, so we can definitely figure something out! Maybe I can message you privately if that's okay? What's your preferred method of contact (LJ PM, e-mail, Tumblr)?

Cool! I'll send you an e-mail from my personal account. :>
