Mega grail get + Helioptile custom collection + Small re-introduction! <3

[nerucake]

Hi everyone! Feels a bit weird posting since I've been actively lurking around since my last post in mid-2019 (oops haha), but I hope you're all doing well! I managed to get my hands on a grail that I didn't really realise was a grail today, so I thought I'd share my happiness <3

Since it's been a long time I should probably re-introduce myself as

Wow you've been so lucky to find your dream custom plush for sale! Congrats!! He looks so cute together with all your other customs ❤️

[nerucake]

I really have been, thank you! <3 I hope everyone else has a big stroke of luck like I have this year!!

This is such a lovely post, you put a lot of work into it and it came out delightful! Your collection of Helioptiles is great, it's so fun to look at people's different collections.

I actually commissioned ebonykatt.ami to make an amigurumi myself! I'm having her make a Marill for me. She's really sweet.

Also, the customs you made yourself are AMAZING - when I was looking at the photographs, the ones I thought were the best turned out to be the ones you made!

[nerucake]

Aw, thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! c:

Ooh is that the fluffy yarn Marill she's been making? That's awesom, she definitely is great!

Ah thank you so much ;o; I wasn't sure whether to include the stuff I've made so I'm glad you like them! <3

Aww so many cute customs~! And congrats on getting your grail, that one's still probably my fave custom Helioptile out of the ones I've seen, super adorable~!

[nerucake]

Thank you! ;u; <3 Yeah I didn't ever think I'd own it, doesn't seem real yet haha! Hopefully one day I can have a chance at the other plush I'd always look at too hehe, this one by Piquipauparro. Super huge baby!!

[sugarstitch]

Oooh another amazing bab. Fingers crossed you can get a hold of that one too, Piquipauparro does amazing work~

Ahh all of these customs are so cute <3 each of them has an unique personality! The one in a kimono is such a creative idea! And these chibipied plushies are just adorable <3 I really like the figure with flowers too - it's so pretty!

Congrats on getting a grail! :D It's great to be able unexpctedly find the most wanted item :D Similar thing happened to me few years ago; I found an Entei doll made by Angelberries in a lot of random plushies XD

[nerucake]

I'm glad you enjoyed them, thank you <3 The kimono plush she makes are dang cute for sure, if you're interested she makes them available reasonably often on her twitter! She makes a lot of Animal Crossing characters too. c:

Thank you!! Ooh I'm so happy you had a lucky find like that too! Yours was definitely extra lucky being in a random lot haha! Was it this one? I follow them on instagram, would love to commission them one day! <3

[ietne]

They are cute! This style really goes well with AC characters too!

Yes, it was this one! :D At first I was dreaming about commisioning a normal-colured Entei from this artist, but I was too shy to ask (and I didn't want to bother them since this type of commisions was closed at that time). The lot appeared randomly on ebay, and the seller was kind enough to sell Entei separately <3 He proudly sits on my collection cabinet reminding me that miracles can happen :D

[nerucake]

That's so amazing!! I'm so glad the seller sold him separately, honestly kind of surprised considering it was an ebay listing haha! It's so amazing you were able to get the original, even if it meant not having the normal coloured plush. :'D At least Entei still looks super cool regardless of normal/shiny colours! <3

I know exactly how you feel when it comes to being shy to message an artist though, my other dream plush (well I guess it's actually turned into an official grail now haha!) is a 1:1 plush made by Piquipauparro, I recently found their instagram but I don't know if they'd ever make another since they originally made it in 2014! Feel a bit awkward asking haha! ;u;

Hi Neru, nice to meet you! :D Your Helioptile collection is SO CUTE! <3 I had so much fun reading through this post! I appreciate all the time you took to talk about each of your customs and mention the artists who made them.
And mega congrats on getting your grail! It's so cool that you own a plush that you always looked at on deviantart! I can imagine how surreal that feels.

[nerucake]

Nice to meet you too! c: Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! <3 Without all these amazing artists there'd be no cute babies for me to love <3
Thank you so much!! It really is surreal, I honestly still can't believe it haha! ;u;
