Hiya all!

Time to share some new gets I got since my last post! Also, under second cut you'll find a special item I planned to share with you since long ago, hehe. Both cuts are photo heavy and text heavy! Please enjoy!

What amazing gets! That haori is so fantastic, congratulations on finding it! I'm so excited to see your collection update post, the beast trio has some of the most beautiful merch!

[ietne]

Thank you! :D It'll never stop to amaze me how many merch beast trio got! I hope to finish everything for my next post soon :D

Wow, congrats on finding a 2000 Banpresto Raikou with tags!
I'd like to get one someday but as you said they're really hard to find for some reason.
I see Suicune and Entei all the time, but not Raikou :( and his helmet is usually in a sad state. Your set looks great, glad to see it completed!

I love seeing movie merch, there's so many interesting little pieces of it out there.

That haori is so unique and wonderful! What an amazing find! It would be cool to display it on a mannequin or something similar.

Thank you! Yeah, I have no idea why only Raikou is so rare. I remember only two with tags for sale (one with a restored helmet, sold by Raikou collector from this community), and maybe a few without tags, but far less than Entei or Suicune.

Movie merch is amazing! I love finding new items from movies! I recently found (that's a spoiler, but I'm too excited not to share XD) a press kit from the Spell of Unown! :D My middleman just shipped it to me, hehe.

I love that haori <3 (only two more colours to go if I decide to be a completionist XD) It would be great to display it on some kind of kimono hanger, but behind a glass to protect it from dust...

I tend to think it's because he didn't star in a movie; so was less popular/had less merchandise produced. Certainly doesn't help that those plush are over 20 years old now!

Oh that's very exciting! I'm looking forward to your next post :D
Do you have anywhere you display your collection or wants list? Sometimes I find weird little beast items that I personally don't collect but I know others would.

And since his helmet gets damaged easily, a lot of them probably has been thrown away by parents...

Thank you for thinking about me! :D I have something here: https://ietne.livejournal.com/1275.html
but it's more of a list with trio items I've seen somewhere and I don't have, without any priority or something, haha.

So awesome! Congrats on your new gets and completed sets! The Haori is an amazing find!
I look forward to your next post!

[ietne]

Thank you! <3
Haha, everytime I want to post an update, real life constantly gets in the way... I promised myself to finally try to finish it :)

That is really amazing. I love finding or hearing about not so common Pokemon items. Do you know if the Haori was a JP Pokemon Center release? Or was it available at other stores in Japan? I would love to hear what you know about its release.

[ietne]

Thank you! :D
I don't know if it was sold at Pokemon Centers. The tags are lacking Pokemon Center logo,

and most of the times I've seen it for sale was from closing rental kimono services. My theory is that these were supposed to be rental only.
Recently, there were announced new Pokemon themed traditional clothing sets, and it appears that they are also available only for rent:

WOWWW congrats on all the incredible gets! Thanks so much for including so many pictures and lots of info about the clothing set. It's absolutely gorgeous! <3

Seeing everything else in this post brought me lots of joy too! :D I especially loved seeing that you used the popcorn bucket for its intended purpose one more time. I know you said you found it from the same seller who had the erasers, but do you have an idea of what search terms I could use to find the wrist coin purse? I'd love to try to track one down for myself! I love Entei and the third movie so much, but I often feel unlucky with actually collecting anything related to them haha

[ietne]

Haha, thank you! :D I wasn't really sure if I should do this thing with popcorn, but my friend was sending me messages "do it, do it", so I carefully cleaned the bucket, and later ate popcorn while rewatching Pokemon Generations XD

Hmm, that's a hard question XD Simply because I haven't seen enough of them for auction. The seller listed it under ポケットモンスター　結晶城の帝王ENTEI エンテイ　コインパース　リストウォッチタイプ, basically rewritting the info on the package (with an error in the movie title XD). So my guess is that if it were to appear, the sellers would use terms like 結晶塔の帝王 (Japanese movie title), or コインパース (coin purse).

[flammablelizard]

Teehee that sounds like a great popcorn time! :D

Thanks so much for taking the time to find the search terms for me! My search shall continue with confidence! Hopefully I'll be able to reply some time and say that I've found one!

[ietne]

Good luck! :D I frequently check third movie merch, and I'll keep you in mind if I ever come across another one :)
