A Proper Collection Intro

[kawaiikon]

Hello all! I hope everyone had wonderful holidays as I sure did! I held off on making an intro post to my collection back when I got accepted into pkmncollectors on November 13. I wanted to finish receiving all of my 2017 orders and gifts first. Now that they are all here, I wasted no time in taking photos of them! Currently I am working on a

Yay! I'm glad you got your sylveon babies! I hope their ears are standing up to your liking. I also like your idea of having the detailed information on plush for your website. It would help so many people!

I love your fennekin collection. I love foxes too and I was on the fence about collecting a couple fennekin items but decided not to in the end. I really like the big sleepy plush and the Christmas one with the pop poms. Do you happen to know what the big sleepy one is called?

Your vulpix babies are adorable too and I was wondering how big the one in the great ball actually was but put it off because all i saw were stock images. Its good to see an actual real image of it. It looks so huge!

Good luck on your website! I can't wait to see it and if you ever need any help im here for ya! :)

Their ears are perfect, I cried a tear of joy the moment I opened both Sylveon packages! Sleeping Sylveon is so squishy and huggable. I normally prefer to keep tags on all my plush, but I wish I could sleep with this one. I'm going to see if covering its tag with cardboard will keep it protected overnight. Trick Pose Sylveon is still on my wish list but it'll be a while before I'm ready to get one. I keep seeing them in the $300 range which is way too much for me at the moment. My wallet needs to recover from holiday shopping too lol.

The official name for the sleeping Fennekin/Chespin/Froakie bundle was called 2015 Hatsuyume Nuigurumi (2015 First Dream Plush). I see most people just refer to them as the sleeping plush though.

Great Ball is about 9" and the Alolan Vulpix is just slightly smaller. It's a pretty decent size.

Thank you so much! Again I really appreciate the info you've given me ^^

Welcome to the community! ^^ we share a favorite pokemon actually-Fennekin! They're so cute with their round little noses ^^

Your collection so far is lovely :>

Thank you! No words can express how excited I was for a Fox Pokemon as a starter in XY. Fennekin is just adorable, I was also happy that it got a lot of screen time in the anime. And of course it got a good number of cute merch too!

Yay another sylveon collector! The floppy ear thing bothers me too, though I’ve found that many of them stay up if carefully posed. Though, I also just didn’t like the design of the tomy plush and even the banpresto dx I love eevee plush, but I’m just picky I guess. The ears do flop over once in a while, but here are the Pokecen plush and original style pokedoll with their ears up! They generally stay like that for a long time until I nudge the shelf they are on and have to adjust them. Just in case you decide you want them (sorry for being an enabler haha)

Funny thing, I keep finding myself going back to look at the Sylveon Poke Plush on the PC site. I feel like it's the best representative of Sylveon out of all the standard sized plush that currently exist, just the reviews on the floppy ear that hold me back from getting it lol. Maybe I'll cave in someday and get it and the original Poke Doll... they are just too cute.

Actually I should ask, do the Poke Plush and original Poke Doll have cotton or anything inside their ears? If I remember correctly the Tomy plush ears were very flat and I don't think there was any material inside them.

I know what you mean! The PokePlush is just gorgeous when it’s ears are up!

Yes! They both have stuffing inside of them, not just empty :) Yeah, I think you’re right about the tomy being empty but I weeded mine so long ago I’m not 100% sure haha
