⇢ #60 . . How Soon Is Now (cover) | KOGEPAN TAKEOVER (and some sanrio) 30 / 8 / 2024

The new kogepan + amagurichan plushies I've ammassed so far!!

Kogepan is my favorite of all the san-x character so I've taken to hoarding any I see popup secondhand. I also got some kogepan related stationary (a notepad, pencil case, and calendar).

I'm trying to get one of each san-x character and I don't have a ton of plushies of kogepan's friends so I hope to score other kogepan characters in the future _(:3\)

More kogepans + a namagurichan plush. The ichigopans are actually childhood plushies I took out of storage to display alongside all my new kogepan plushies.

vintage monkichis + a pekkle

kogepan calendar

Got a ton of new vintage HKs (+ corocorokuririn and a tuxedo sam)! Accidentally included one I posted before (the one with the fur trim on her clothes); she was still lying around because I haven't found a place to display her yet ~_~



random small plushes

tochu from next day's kerori, a small koguma desk buddy, and a san-x character I need to look up >_<

a matching rillakori set and one of my new favorite san-x plushies: a small chairokoguma with mittens! I also got a small rillakkuma ceramic display.

I also got this small pingu plushie! When you push his middle his flippers cartwheel. It's very cute u_u

⇢ #59 . . Dimanche | summer HKs and vintage plushies 13 / 8 / 2024

It's the summer season so I wanted to show off some of the summer related / tan hks I've gotten so far. Even though hk is actually on the lower side of my sanrio character tierlist her tan plushies are some of my most favorite plushies TT_TT. I'm currently waiting on another one to arrive aaaa

I also got a ton of gotochi charms. I'm really cheap so I just wait until ones for less than 3USD / 450JPY pop up and I've managed to get quite a few so far for a good price.

Another item I got is a jewelry tin box that also plays music when you crank its handle. I'm currently using it to store some gotochi charms. The monkichi goods are what I thiink is a condiment bottle and a pillbox?

There's also a random cinna gba game, unfortunately the screen for mine is busted and I'm not sure if I can get it repaired (it's a childhood gba) and I might end up buying a new one. Also just realized looking at the pics that you can't see the really cute badtz-maru yo-yo I got T_T

Some other random sanrio related items I got. The piano actually dispenses memo sheets when you click on the rightmost keys.



Yuru-charas, can badges, and other plushes

My current yuru-chara plush charm collection! Plus some random non-mascot charms. In Japan it's common to create a mascot for a region, business, or even events (these mascots are called yuru-charas!) I'm currently working on a shrine page for yuru-charas; it'll mostly focus on yuru-charas for specific places or regions but I'll include other kinds too *_*

My current favorite yuru-charas are Sanomaru, the mascot for Sano City (he's the white puppy with the ramen bowl on his head), Heartora-chan, the mascot of the JP Red Cross Society, and Melon Kuma, the mascot of Yubari City in Hokkaido.

closeups

an assortment of random keychains, figures, etc. I've also started seriously collecting can badges a bit more! I've not settled on how to display them yet. I'm not that fond of cork boards so I might display my favorites on a sash similar to how girl scout badges are shown and just have it hung up somewhere? Not sure hmmm.

An assortment of random (mostl are vintage) plushies! The white lion is one of those plushies that has a rubber / hard face plate that I adore. It's Sekiguchi branded and so is the grinning plushie. The cat plush is of a mascot of an indoor theme park in Ikebukuro called NAMJATOWN.

Lastly the plush wearing a train conductor's hat is labeled MAGICAL -> BADGE (by a company called SPICE PROVISION?), it's part of a set of plushies and I'll try to do more research later since I'm a huge fans of these kind of vintage plushies.

oh and also got a bunch of ochaken keychains hehe

sekiguchi lion . . . . . . . . . ¥120
sekiguchi chamekko club . . . . . . . . . ¥280
SPICE PROVISION, MAGICAL -> BADGE . . . . . . . . . ¥140

bye bye!

⇢ #58 . . LA BRISE D'ETE | duffy, stitch, and latest sanrio additions 2 / 7 / 2024

a duffy update! I've been hoarding duffy keychain plushies for a while now. I'm not a fan of disney (though sleeping beauty is probably in my top 3 of favorite animated films) but for some reason I'm quite fond of specifically disney theme park merch (I don't care for theme parks either lmao).

I've a 1USD / 150JPY plush collection and my duffy and friends balking price is about 3USD / 450JPY (I buy them all secondhand). I also only buy them if they're wearing clothes / a costume ~_~

I also got a gelatoni plush and plush pouch! Out of all of the characters in the duffy and friends universe, he and linabell might be my favorites? 'olu mel is quite cute too but I've hardly seen his merch pop up secondhand though I'd love to get a mascot size plush of him sometime.

My current priority for characters are: linabell > duffy (in costume) > gelatoni > cookie ann > stella lou > shellie may (in costume)

duffy & friends charms . . . . . . . . . ~¥250 - 450jpy each
duffy & friends tsumtsums . . . . . . . . . ~¥150 each
gelatoni plush . . . . . . . . . ¥420jpy
gelatoni purse . . . . . . . . . ¥460jpy

I've also started collecting stitch plush charms for... some reason! Idk, this was a fairly recent development but like duffy plushies my balking price for these are on the lower side (also 3USD / 450JPY). Lilo and Stitch was actually one of my favorite movies to watch as a kid and regularly watched the animated series though I don't thiiink there's a ton of merch of his cousins?

What might be my favorite item of this entire haul is this wind-up stitch. The way he's posed reminds me a bit of how some of my bambi plushies are posed; it's quite cute.

stitch + angel charms . . . . . . . . . ~¥250 - 450jpy each
sitch wind-up . . . . . . . . . ¥570

The usual sanrio part

new charms, figures, and keychains (all sanrio related except for a random sailor moon keychain)

random assortment of sanrio plushies I got. I now own a cogimyun plush! I also thought the baby pochacco and hk were smaller so I'm trying to find space for them somewhere in my collection T_T

I also finally got a hummingmint plushie! I also bought a hummingmint backpack and pouch a little while back. Very cute, 10/10. Hopefully I'll be able to find other characters I'm missing soon (specifically chococat -w-).

smaller plushies + random creuset minis

vintage my melodys

vintage pompoms, random pochacco + some keychains

⇢ #57 . . Lullatone - falling asleep with a book on your chest | keychains and random character finds 19 / 5 / 2024

Got some new stuff recently u_u. First I got this cute astro boy lunchbox set! Will probably use it as a storage rather than as an actual lunchbox. I also got some plushies of characters from an old NHK show (I think) called ウゴウゴ・ルーガ (Ugo Ugo Ruga) which looks like... this. Honestly I love old 3D animated shows so I kind of like the 3D models hahaa.

I also got a cute christmas themed peko puppet *and* this really cute plushie of the Apollo Strawberry bunny which might be my favorite find of this entire haul? I've not eaten one of those apollo chocolates since highschool actually.

I got two new unibearsity bears! I just realized while taking photos that they're both bo peep related ~_~. The pink one is bo peep and the ubear on the left has her clothes. I also got some cute plush furniture (it's AMUSE) and random stationary stuff.

Lately I've really been into collecting old flip phones. I buy them for display purposes only but I've a couple that still work. I want to make a page dedicated to the flip phones (and other electronics) I've collected sometime, I've been decorating them with stickers and attaching keychains.

random figure keychains I got (+ a CCS plush!) and me attempting to arrange all my figure keychains

Some random plushies I got including a very cute moomin plush set that's really soft, a sekiguchi plush, and my favorite of the bunch which is a gromit plush! Gave him a good wash after I took photos and he's nice and clean now (the stains on his apron came right out).

Also got some mokekes and flanholic charm plushes! I've started a collection of plushies that I only add to if I can find them for 1USD/150JPY or less. I compiled them all together under the spoiler.

My current 1USD/150JPY collection includes: mokekes, flanholics, loppy bunny, love bunny, and namekos. I've a ton of namekos now so they're not really my priority anymore; I'm focusing on ai otsuka love bunnies right now _(:3\)

Other plushies I might start collecting or currently trying to are: the dog, stitch (just charm plushies), and yuru-charas (also only charms). I also collect duffy charms but I'm willing to buy them at a slightly higher price (around 3USD/450JPY each).

ai otsuka love bunny collection

mokeke collection

nameko collection

Some sea creature charm plushies I got! I didn't recognize the characters at first but they're from an animated series that aired on Fuji TV (and were apparently designed by Yoshitaka Amano). I found a short clip of one of the series (there's more than one) on youtube.

lastly more ochaken keychains I got.

⇢ #56 . . Weapons of mass destruction · andymori | funny evangelion keychains and more (sanrio) 3 / 5 / 2024

for this haul it's mostly smaller plushies and vintage sanrio (wao surpise there). Anyways I got this entire evangelion set for around 10USD / 1500JPY (including doubles of rei, shinji, and kaworu :3)! Some of them are so wonky though, Rei has a forehead issue going on and one of the Shinji's face just looks so lopsided it's kind of funny.

mirmo plushies! got lucky and got these cheap



asuka + rei

random charm plushies

mokekes + nameko

sanrio stuff

some tuxedo sams! the one on the right is vintage so now I'm pretty happy I have a tuxedo sam to add to my vintage sanrio collection. It's pretty big though so I'm hoping to find a mascot sized one. The priority characters on my vintage sanrio wishlist right now are: Chococat, Marron Cream, and Ahiru no Pekkle _(:3\

new pochaccos I got! striped shirt one is my new favorite pochacco plush

More sanrio plushies I got! The croc is one of minna's friends? The minna is from sanrio's puroland (a sanrio amusement park I would love to visit one day Q-Q). I've also been collecting sanrio plushies that have a bib so I snatched this keroppi! I remember seeing a listing for a similar badtz before so I regret not getting it when it popped up _(:3\)

Also some HK plushies I posted before but wanted to put beside some newer ones I got. I really like food / cafe themed sanrio plushies so I just had to get this HK one holding a baguette (she's also from a set, I think).



random pokemon stuff

trinkets and stuff

NAMEKOO

keychains and dolls

Also got some dolls! I'm a general toy collector (obviously my focus is on plush o_o) but I like dolls too. I've been on the lookout for cheap vintage japanese dolls to use for customs so I might use the brunette doll for something. I also quite like Monchhichi and was really happy to snatch the one in the pic for less than 10USD / 1500JPY.

last are some keychains and trinkets I got recently
