A legendary grail get!

[ietne]

I love unique merch. I love rare merch. I love items that have many mysteries and secrets. And I received a package that held inside something that fits all three conditions perfectly.

best, post, ever 😭😭😭😭 i love seeing people get so happy and collect rare stuff like I love to do. I love finding cool and rare merch ive never seen before- even today I screenshotted a few new toys ive never seen before in hopes of searching/discovering more about them. pokemon collecting is one of my favorite hobbies, and mirage plush are some of the coolest plush ever 😋😋 i love his pattern and colors. so funky and silly!!! 😋😋😋😭❤️ older toys have such a silly charm to them. the elusive hunt for mirages is literally an infinite gold mine- theres so many MANY to find, encounter 😳 I doubt its possible to own them all, but its a fun search nonetheless 😋😋 in either case, congratulations!!!!!!! 😋😋😋 hes such an amazing looking plush and you should be so proud to have such a rare and incredible peice 😭! now, I HAVE to ask... what website/middleman did you use 😭 search terms even?? 😳 if you dont wanna divulge the secret rare information please dont feel like you have to, but i just thought id ask because I have a hard time with mirages

Thank you so much <3 He's a really beautiful plush.

Yes, I love discovering new merch! I think that is the best part about collecting. What kind of toys did you find?
Mirages are really fascinating (and I guess rewarding) thing to collect. Every time and now a new pattern resurfaces, even though these plushies were made about 20 years ago. And I don’t know anyone (or any page on the Internet) that would make a complete database on what have been discovered.

And I actually was afraid of dreaming about owning this plush. I was imagining that, in case when it would be sold on Ebay, the competition would be so high I wouldn’t have a chance of bidding before the auction would reach my limit. That somehow answers your question about the price XD He was rather expensive, but still cheaper if he ever be auctioned or sold with a “mirage plush” label.

Congratulations! I never knew that existed! I really liked reading what you found out when you researched the company too.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked my tag research, I was afraid that I write something that is already widely knew xD

Grats! What a kingly beast he is! I felt very similar when receiving my Rhydon mirage; the quality of the better-looking mirages are undoubtably unparalleled in their uniqueness! In fact it looks like your Raikou is made from a very similar fabric as my Rhydon, same two-tone colors and top claws only and everything.

[ietne]

Ooh, you have Rhydon mirage! Congrats! :D He’s one of the more sought after mirages, If I remember correctly. (He has absolutely cute ears that look like a small wings!) And yes, from the photos his pattern and fabric looks very similar to Raikou’s. Especially with the claws.
I’m amazed at the quality of the plush too - even with all weird design decisions, they look very well made. The best example in Raikou would be the faceplate, I think. It’s not something with the bootie quality, but something well thought and requiring different types of materials to make. Looks they were really serious when making these plushies :D

Congrats! He's certainly an interesting and unique find. Very cool to see the tag info!

[ietne]

Thank you! I love him so much <3 You’re Raikou collector too?

[mayziken]

Yeah, sort of! I only really collect plush and a few choice items like figures and such.

Nice! Congrats on getting him! I saw him for sale as well and contemplated on buying him but decided not to because of other grails.
I am genuinely happy that you were the one that got him! I know how much you love them doggo’s! 😊 Congratulations again! ❤️❤️❤️✨
Btw, it was the same seller where i got my different colored mirage Charizard and different colored mirage Dragonite from.

[ietne]

Thank you so much <3 I actually thought of you when making this post! :D

Hehehe, it looks like my worries that somebody can snatch it before me weren’t exactly unjustified then XD
I’ve seen your post about Charizard, and I thought that he might be from the same seller, because you posted photo of him accompanied by small Dunsparce figures. I actually got similar figures for myself XD (Did you get coffee from the seller as a bonus too? XD) I check their shop (an others) frequently. After all I’m still on the hunt for the remaining 2/3 of the Trio.
What grails? You plan to post them soon? :)

[charmeleon1991]

That is so sweet! Thanks so much! <3

Yeah! I also got those tiny Dunsparce figures from the same seller as well. :3
Hmm... i’m not sure if i got any coffee with it though. I might have but it’s been so long. XD
I really love how you are so excited about the mirage doggo’s! I hope that you will able to find the other two. They are definitely an amazing grail to have.

And yes! I have recently purchased some Shiny and Dunsparce grails! I hope to post about them soon.
They are definitely some grails i never though i would own.

Would you like me to tag you when i post about them or do you think that won’t be necessary?

[ietne]

He arrived over a week ago, but I still smile everytime I look at him. I never expected to find him in the nearest future.

Entei is really a grail - I don't even know if he exist. XD I believe that he does though - if they made Raikou and (at least two) Suicune, then they couldn't just left out poor Entei, right? He must exist somewhere!

Sounds exciting! I would love to be tagged so I'll be sure I won't miss your post! <3
