#I wonder how -Elfilin- feels about being paired with Magolor as a friend so much lately? Elfie's so earnest and sweet and Magolor is...

[desultory-novice]

Tis a TRAGEDY!! /lh

At the start of every month, the official JP Kirby portal site loads up with all the new merch we can expect that season. And at the start of every month (g-give or take a day) Dess peruses it for items of interest. ...Typically Marx and or Magolor.

BUT WHAT SHOULD I FIND THIS TIME!?

THEY'VE BEEN SEPARATED!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Marx and Magolor, known for years for sneaking onto merch together in suspicious ways, now make an appearance on this "Kirby and friends" (lolol) sticker pack on utterly separate sheets!

...I shall cry. It's too cruel...

(Fufufu. Still, how should I take this piece of merch's branding? OUR Marx? Upgraded to a "nakama-tachi?" Still, I think it's funny that he's about as "friendly" as a Gordo. At least we had a Waddle Doo helper in Star Allies! "Kirby and Friends who will stab or shoot you. Or both, in Marx's case!" ...Gordo friend... Gordo friend...)

IN OTHER NEWS...

...the long awaited [Animal] plush is coming out! (Animal gets a tiny plastic figurine too!) Which I know will excite some people! The fur looks super fuzzy too! (...DMK? Mage Sisters? Who??)

Lastly, Marx finally makes a long awaited return (in reference form) to the Kirby Cafe (take-out vers.) since the sad disappearance of the shockingly gorey Marx-themed Eggplant and Meat Pasta and his amazing themed drink, le Mariage êntre Mensonges et Vérité

That's right! It's the "Popstar Blueberry ~ Milky Way Wishes" cake! And I love the use of the deep blue mirror (?) glaze with what could be edible gold sprinkles or just kinako powder for the stars XD

...Less excited about the blueberry filling but that's just me!
