Collection Update After a Year!

[flammablelizard]

Hi everybody! I can't believe it's been a year since my last update ( which you can find here if you want to see)! Ideally, I would've taken pictures of things I got for each month in groups, but I didn't do that as things were coming in and I am too lazy to do it retroactively, so I hope it'll still be fun to read about highlights! :'D

What an amazing update! You've acquired so much cool stuff over the year!

The Tomy 'I choose you' line really is fantastic, isn't it? I have 3 plush from that line and they're so wonderful. Tyranitar looks great!
And congrats on the recall Charizard--those plush are next on the list for me as well, though I'm going to be picky and try going for one that still have the little bags.
I agree about the new US PC tags. They're so unwieldy on fit plush especially :( I've kept mine on, but it is very tempting to just snip them off and store them somewhere.

Very cool to see detailed photos of those old playsets, I didn't even know those existed!

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks so much, mayziken! <3

It really is fantastic! I couldn't believe how soft Tyranitar was when I first got it too. Definitely excited to see who else gets plush in that line!
Best of luck on your recall Charizard search! It's such a fun plush and every one that I've seen seems like it has a different personality due to how the face is structured.
YEAH the new USPC tags are even bigger than the fit plush they're on in some cases and it feels so ridiculous. I doubt they'll go back to the original tags but I'd sure like it if they did.

The playsets are so much fun! I'm always impressed at how many details Tomy packed into them and the figures are so cute. I look forward to the next time I can share pictures of one!

Thanks a bunch for reading my post! :D

I am so excited to see another pokehouse collector! My collection finished up a little while ago and I probably have a couple duplicates. Which are you still looking for?

[flammablelizard]

AHHH hey happycharmander, it's so awesome to hear that you finished your collection! :D Your post about the Camp Pikachu playset years ago helped me learn about its existence! Do you have updated pictures of your collection anywhere? I'd love to see!

The DX ones I'm searching for are: Camp Pikachu, Ilex Forest, Lugia's Island, and Gen 3 Secret Base Tree. The regular-sized ones on my wants list are: Fire Island, Ice Island, Lightning Island, Playground (both version 1 and version 2), and Gen 2 Laboratory!

I really need to take some updated photos! I recently moved but I'm looking into a nice set up for these playsets. Their current bookshelf really doesn't do them justice.

I might have a couple from your list; I'll check my parent's house for you this weekend. I'm so psyched to see another player collector! Aren't these so awesome?! Literally my favorite of all Pokemon merch!

I'm excited to see what you come up with for a set up! I have mine on bookshelves too and I'm not satisfied with it either. I like having them connected via the bridges they come with, but getting the positioning right with the DX playsets is especially difficult on my shelves haha.

Thanks so much for checking up on them! :D YESSS they're the best! I love seeing physical representations of movie/anime moments, and the playsets that depict relaxing times are wonderful too. They feel like little windows into the Pokemon world!

Oh this is such a wonderful collection!! You have so many Charizard plush/figures I've wanted for years, and shown me some I've never knew existed before!!

:D

Thank you so so much! :D If you let me know your top wants, I'd be happy to stay on the lookout for you during my usual merch searches!
