Oh hey, I can just. Post pics of my plushies. Wild. Social media is amazing.

Shout out to Noonaneko on Etsy for this FANTASTIC boy who just came in the mail:

Kiki... My best friend Kiki...

She did a wonderful job designing my son, and he is very small and cute. Truly a wowzers moment.

(More pics below the cut)

Kinda silly how small he is compared to Ogerpon. She looks like she's patting his head!

He is a bit bigger than the trainer mascot plush line tho.

Hehe, varied scale plushies are funny.

[puhpandas]

fazfriends video shows that the tiger rock plush really does have a mascot suit mesh vision thing in his mouth, so ppls speculation about the plush being a scaled down mascot costume was right

it also explains the um. weird fleshy looking mound when you clip into his head

Wurmple Build Log

Guess who's back to drop another overly detailed post about a cosplay project. Another Pokémon one, unsurprisingly! My dumb ass made a Nargacuga fursuit head back in 2020 so I could learn how to work with upholstery foam. It looked... alright... but I know in my heart it was a horrible, horrible mess. Fast forward to 2023, I go to a 3-day convention, wear a bunch of different heavy wigs the whole time, get a rash on my forehead and think, fuck it, I am cringe and I am free, I'm gonna finally live the dream and make a Pokémon suit. It'll be great, and I won't have to wear a wig; I'll just have to worry about heat strokes instead. Fun! Of course, in true shitpost fashion, my perfect fursuit candidate has 10 legs and is shaped like a sausage.

Click on over to read the wondrous tale of building a Wurmple Partial Suit in like two weeks.

1. The Worm

Wurmple started as a dumb little sketch in the corner of my notebook. I have a lot of cosplays and plushes under my belt but the last fursuit (head) kinda looked like it would belong in a bootleg Freddy Fazbear establishment, so I brainstormed over a bunch of Pokémon I like that would work as a partial and are simple enough in design to avoid accidentally creating Uncle Uncanny 2.0. The goal was something that would be relatively comfortable and easy to bring to events 'cause I'm just not mentally prepared to drag a suitcase in public transport and wear a full body sweat carpet yet. I ended up doodling a few ideas like Haunter or Koffing, but then I pictured a Bug Catcher trainer with a bug head and I thought it was funny as hell, so the choice was made. I picked up my copy of Alpha Sapphire to get a good look at the model and immediately ran into a problem; the eyes on Wurmple are literally on the side of the head. They sit so flush you literally cannot see them if you look at them from the front. Not a great start. I figured I could probably hide a small hole for vision right above the mandibles where the red and cream colors separate. I wasn't super confident it would work, but dammit, I was already commited to being a stupid Bug Bug Catcher. Similarly, I looked at the side profile and figured I could open a hole behind the mandibles at mouth height to breathe out of. With an disproportionate amount of confidence for the bullshit I'm about to summon into the world, I began the project by patterning out the tail.

2. Bug Ass

I'll be honest, I started on the tail so I wouldn't have a reason to back out of it if the head ended up being a hot mess. I've patterned out and sewn a few plush before, so making a big ol' headless grub sounded like a reasonable goal. I usually make plush patterns by building out the shape with newspaper and tape, but Wurmple's tail got pretty big when scaled to fit a human, so I searched for alternatives. I ended up building the base shape to draw a pattern out of by taping two pillows together. I tied down small sections to shape the belly and slapped a layer of masking tape over half of it to trace my pattern. Once everything looked good, I cut the pattern pieces out and laid them flat. The pillows were returned to the couch safely once they recovered from the barbaric treatment.

I dug through my materials storage (a sad lonely plastic bin) for some Trash Fabric ™ leftovers from other Trash Projects ™ and tested the pattern out to see how it looked. I made the pattern for the spikes and legs at that point based on the test build and adjusted some seams on the tape pattern to refine some shapes, but overall the first pattern was a great success!

With the mockup done, I pulled out the minky fabric and got to sewing the tail together. I picked minky for the project 'cause it felt right for the cartoony 3d models to have that smooth short-pile look in real life (kinda like the official mascots, really). I was aware the margin for error when your fur pile is 3mm long is basically non-existent, but hey, at least I could work without a respirator on unlike fur! Sewing the body of the tail was pretty straightforward; I assembled the belly panels together, stitched the darts on the red parts to form the curve, and attached the backside of the zigzag spikes to it. I assembled the top and bottom halves together, tacked each zigzag down in place by hand, and filled the whole thing with polyester stuffing to see my beautiful bug sausage take shape.

Once I was sure it everything looked good. I stitched six little white legs and attached them onto the belly by hand using the belly seams as a guide.

Before moving on to the top spikes, I took a break from handsewing to build the tail base. It's a little nub made out of sandwiched upholstery foam with a belt running through a channel carved into the foam. It's topped off with a layer of high density EVA Foam glued at the base to keep the anchor point sturdy. Huge thanks to Neffertity for her tail tutorials as this was the main inspiration behind the method I used for the tail attachment. The foam nub goes about a quarter of the way through the tail, with the rest of it being filled up with the polyester stuffing that was added earlier.

Once the tail attachment point was secured, I started sewing all the spikes for the top half of the tail, stuffed them, and then stitched each of them to the tail by hand. Once they were all stitched on securely, I sewed the back closed with one last minky piece and Wurmple's tail was complete!

(Looking back, I could probably have machine stitched the legs and spikes on... But I was watching some really good Resident Evil Randomizer streams while handsewing these, so I didn't wanna get off the couch to work on the pattern again)

I'm so glad I started with the tail. It was basically a big plush, and I was so proud of the results when I was done that I was energized to start working on the head. Oh right, the stupid worm head with no vision.

3. The Head

Building up the shape of Wurmple's head was simple enough. I began by building a bucket head base out of upholstery foam by following Skyehigh's Studios old tutorial (new one linked here) and slapped some paper on it to figure out the size of the main elements; the mandibles and the eyes. I immediately regret following the tutorial steps for the eye holes, since I Forgot We Weren't Gonna Be Doing That, and mark where my cyclops eyehole is generally going to be instead.

Once I was satisfied with my patterns, I cut some more upholstery foam slabs, carved them with scissors until I got down to the general shape of the mandibles and horns, and glued them onto the base. I immediately got another stress injury carving everything down and realized I did not learn from my wig ventilating mistakes. I took a break to add a turkey carver to my online shopping bookmarks, which I immediately forgot about until I sat down to write this post. Since I was using minky for this project, I needed to make sure my base was as smooth as possible. The fabric is so thin it would pick up every wrinkle ever and look sad if I didn't. I dug into the bin for some Trash Felt ™ and glued it over the mandibles to smooth things out and added some mesh to the holes of the bucket head base to keep the curved shape of the head going without sacrificing those sweet ventilation holes. I also added my vision hole and marveled at my horrifying Mando helmet abomination. At that point in time I'm having some big doubts about the vision hole, but I trudge on because I'm not just gonna wear a bug ass to these conventions.

With the base complete, I covered the whole thing in tape and drew over it like I did with the tail to create a pattern, made sure to forget to take pictures of said pattern so that this step is lost to time, and started sewing the head fabric so I could slap some skin on this bad boy, starting with the horns. At the same time, I stitched the darts on the mandibles, pinned that to the head for later, and assembled the red halves of the head together on the back seam to test the fit.

With the test fit successful, I pulled the red part off in order to machine stitch it to the front half of the head along the zigzag edge and slipped the whole thing over the head again. With everything in place, I painstakingly handstitched everything up, including the side of the mandibles and the horns.

Somewhere in the magical stretch of time between midnight and 5 in the morning, I somehow summoned the inner lining of the head out of french terry knit, a tape pattern and a dream. I also painted a little piece of buckram for the eye mesh to match the red fabric and glued that to the inside of the head. I included a little velcro pocket on the back of the neck in the lining to insert a powerbank for the fans (which I then proceeded to procrastinate on installing for a whole 4 months afterwards). Since I'm an idiot and took no pictures signed an NDA with the Midnight Craft Wizard, here's a picture of the fan installation in the mandibles with velcro so they can be removed to wash it. (Fan kit by Henry's Helmet Fans)

Once the head was completed, I finally went to sleep. And then I woke up at noon and remembered I forgot the eyes WHOOPS I cut four circles out of high density EVA Foam (Two of them smaller for the pupils), heat shaped a slight curve to them, and covered them with minky. I glued the pupils to the irises and then I glued those suckers to the head and NOW THE HEAD WAS ACTUALLY DONE WOOHOO

Turns out hiding the vision hole right over the mandibles was... Actually a decent idea, in the end. It blends pretty well into the face at a short distance. The mouth opening also isn't visible in most angles so I can actually breathe pretty well, and I can even wear a portable necklace fan and have it blow hair into the head without making poor Wurmple eat the fan.

I took it for a test run and realized the eye vision in the suit was actually pretty damn bad overall because the minky covered half of the original hole up, especially on the sides. I took a heat gun and some scissors to the head so I could peel it back around the vision hole, cut some material out to open it up more, and glued everything back down with a new piece of mesh. Now I have like 40 more degrees in my cone of vision, which puts me on par with some of the guys in Metal Gear Solid.

With those adjustments done, the head was finally complete!

4. Get Worm'd on

Turns out I like it a whole lot, whoops. It's definitively not perfect (what costume ever is?), but it looks leagues better than I expected it would, so it works out. Looking back, I don't think I'd really do anything else differently on the build. I still got to make the Bug Catcher outfit to go along with it, but with winter in full swing there's no rush to do so. Definitively looking forward to making a net, though!

If you're still reading, thank you for getting through my ramblings! I hope it was an interesting read, and maybe even provided some insights or inspirations for your own future projects.

My July 2024 toy haul is finally here! I almost had a major heart attack, when DHL decided to pull a fast one on me, yet again! Thankfully, the box wasn't immediately sent back to Japan, and I can breathe a happy sigh, now looking back. It was a freaking stressful few days however, before I knew the box wasn't being returned. That's why I loathe paying for hyper-expensive s/h costs, but that's really all there is now. More so when Japan has raised their Postal shipping costs and what seemed like a small box in the past, is now a large shipment. So, it's either DHL or EMS. Neither of which I trust any more than the other... that or by boat! DX

From far left to bottom right front row: Square Enix Final Fantasy VII BRING ARTS Sephiroth Non-Scale Action Figure; BanDai Namco NARUTO Shippuden Ballchain Mascot Sasuke Uchiha Plush Doll; Banpresto BanDai Namco NARUTO VIBRATION STARS -UCHIHA SASUKE- III Non-Scale Game Prize Figure; Banpresto Rebuild of Evangelion Q posket Kaworu Nagisa Plugsuit Style B (Game-prize) Non-Scale Figure; Square Enix Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Vincent Valentine, Zack Fair & Cloud Strife Acrylic Stands; DIG Pripra Figure Chess (Clear x Black) 1/12 Plastic Model.

This was a freaking expensive haul to ship, despite there being literally four tiny figures, and a few tinier items. Sasuke is a keychain sized plush doll, which barely takes any room. Yet, it was so freaking expensive to ship these!!! It makes me angrier because they did what they did (handed the package to the local PO instead of delivering themselves, on the day the box was supposed to be delivered), and I feel like I lost a few years off my life now, and all for what! Expensive costly shipping and handling, that was worthless! *eternal-sigh*

Putting all that behind me, I am so, so happy with my two Bring Arts Sephy figs, based on OG FFVII's art style! He's so beautiful! I had forgotten how tiny Bring Arts are and thought he would be closer to his PAK version based on the Remake one, but he's tiny, all Bring Arts are! I forgot that! Lol! All these are things I purchased because I really wanted them all, so thinking I had lost them, or had to potentially pay s/h again! It literally was a low blow, but I am thankful it was just a small DHL f-up, and nothing more. (:

It was down to the wire, since we're leaving for PAX tomorrow, but I managed to finish @perennialastronaut's eponymous astronaut plushie. Body is machine embroidered fleece. Panel was supposed to say "Perennial Astronaut" on it but my machine kept getting stuck and breaking the thread because I didn't have proper stabilizer so it's mostly illegible. Didn't have time for the little chest tubes, either. Skull is an old halloween decoration (I would have printed one but I didn't have any of my special printer glue which helps things stick to the build plate and also I had no time for a 4-5 hour print which might fail). Flowers are hand sculpted clay and bubble is a plastic christmas ornament cut open and glued to a craft foam base. Skull is sprayed with a glow in the dark spray that REALLY glows. Under blacklight it's intense, but it still holds a good glow in normal darkness after being in the light for a bit.

Bonus shot of Gianni's mascot plush next to Marieke's, for scale. I hope to give these both to them at PAX, if they'll accept them. I believe Gianni said on stream that they're moving soon so I imagine they wouldn't want any more things to have to move, but it's worth a shot.

This is gonna sound a little silly, but I am a stationery fanatic. I love notebooks, journals, washi tape, fountain pens, colored inks, stuff like that.

I genuinely wish there was FNAF-themed stationery. Especially washi tape. Imagine FNAF washi tape. COME ON, how is that NOT cool!?

I wish I could design my own FNAF washi tape and maybe sell some of it. Unfortunately, I kinda suck at art. I love making it, but most people don't like it. And making digital art is something I sorely lack experience in, and I'd have to make my design into a digital format, so... yeah. Not happening.

Anywho... on a completely different topic, since I just thought about it, I pre-ordered a Glamrock Bonnie plushie from YouTooz! I have a YouTooz Glamrock Freddy plush (the standing version), and I wanted him to have his boyfriend! Besides, it seems to be the only official merch of Glamrock Bonnie... I also wanted to buy an Eclipse plushie, but I had also ordered YouTooz's CatDog plushie and didn't want to overspend. Hi ho diggety!

(I have way too many plushies, guys. Not just FNAF ones, though they make up a large percentage. I easily have 100+ plushies. I want to display some of them, but I haven't figured out how yet. A plushie net is unfortunately a no-go, so...)

Also one more thing: not exactly FNAF related, but... I have an idea for a mascot horror franchise I'd like to share with you. To anyone familiar with NeoPets? I was thinking of creating a web pet site in the vein of NeoPets, but with an extra-heaping helping of dark horror. The main draw would be the pets themselves: creepy-looking monsters and other impossible creatures you get to name, adopt, and find out the horrible origins of as you become familiar with the website.

The working title for this idea is HorrorPets, but it's so goddamn generic and too on the nose, which is why it's ONLY a working title. I've also hit a creator's block with HorrorPets because I'm not sure exactly how I want the pets to look. I don't want to make monster versions of Neopets because that's what Mutant NeoPets are. I want to create original monsters that are cute and cartoony, yet clearly unsettling or even disturbing in some way.

Like... I really want to make HorrorPets a real thing, an actual website that I myself would use! But I have so much anxiety about what could or might happen, it's probably never gonna get off the ground. Plus, the idea of asking for funding so I can hire people to help me with it terrifies me.

Imagine if it did become a thing, though. Imagine if it released special pets to promote different horror franchises! Imagine the crossovers I'd get to do!

Oh... and... I just had a thought. Unlike NeoPets, you can have up to 100 HorrorPets per account. For free. I don't know if would actually be feasible due to monetary restrictions concerning hosting, but that's what I'm aiming for in terms of scale.

Plushie Research Pt1

Plushies are a very prominent thing in the industry, specifically target towards younger audience, however they can also be created as Collectibles or Merchandise for Movies, TV Shows, Games and Mascots.

One popular example which I find really distinctive and fun: Deddy Bears.

A play on the name Teddy Bear, Deddy Bears are a brand of soft plush bears that are Halloween/Horror themed, ranging from a were-bear and a pumpkin to a ghost and devil.

These also come in a variety of keychains and miniatures, with the packaging for the smaller toys being cardboard coffins and the larger being body bags, each with a tag labelled as an Autopsy Report giving information on them - their names, smells and personalities.

Along with another series named Kreepy Kats, and another two yet to come out labelled Kreepy K9s and Forbidden Fruits.

I also, personally, believe that the Deddy Bear plushies are actually more well crafted than the keychains, which could likely be because they're printed and stitched on a larger scale.

Whereas the keychains look..

Cheap.

I would know, I have one.

It gives off the same vibe as modern day McDonalds toys, where they've gotten to the point where capitalism rules and they've stopped caring about quality, so they give you printed paper 'toys' and cheap plushies that have been ran through a printer.

But I digress, the plushies, in spite of their theme, are really cute and cuddly, and the stitch work done on them is actually really good.

On the topic of creepy looking toys, another brand that has skyrocketed into popularity is the Fuggler toys.

Marketed as ugly toys that will ruin your life, Fuggler toys are plushies that are known very commonly for their teeth and eyes.

Having fake yet uncanny looking teeth made of plastic wedged into their mouths, and their eyes looking vacant and soulless, these toys are likely marketed to an older audience (consisting of teens and adults) due to their nature.

Even the name, Fuggler, is alluding to the term 'Fugly', which is short for f***ing ugly, and I see why they say that.

Unlike the Deddy Bears, I don't own one of these, so I don't have any firsthand experience, but looking at them, I feel very grateful for that fact.

And with uncanny toys comes the original.

Furbys.

Furbys are disgusting, tormented creatures that were placed on this earth to enact violence against mankind.

No, I'm joking, but that very well might be true.

Originating in 1998, Furbys are a talking-pet type of toy that interacts with its user through speech patterns, having a built in microphone and speaker that responds with a series of.. Noises.

They have a mechanism inside of their heads that causes their mouths and eyes to move when they speak, or simply when they're idle.

Though, it has received controversy (for lack of a better word) for being suspected to be spyware, and often still responding or making noises even when it has been turned off, further pushing the uncanny aspect.

The fur seems to be glued onto the endoskeleton/mechanism, with no apparent stitches being present, but it just goes to show how toys are actually able to vary in build.

There has also been a remaster of these toys, which has been made way more cute.

I still hate them.

The Sonic Experience Renaissance™ is hard to explain because it's stylized anthros made for kids with ADHD and Autism and no one understands how good it is. The experience is every game is a little disappointing and imo the characterization of western sonic is wild but the relationship between the developer and the fandom is "Wow you guys really feel a lot of things so we want you to be happy."

I have questionable feeling about the story scale back era even though that's when this all started but at some point in the late 2010s they leaned into all the quirks of the dark age fandom; The sonic mini series by Tyson Hesse (the fucking dude who turned have Knuckles fist nipples), then hired him again to animate an opening for Sonic Mania: the game made by the fans, they tried with making a game for the Sonic OC people (me), lucked out with a pretty funny tv series for their worst game, put Sonic in a Disney movie then made a bad design for his own movie which they had Tyson fix and then put the bad scrapped design in another Disney movie, put fandon memes into their games, continued to release animated trailers for their game releases that like, holy shit are their own enjoyable experiences rather than just a product, even have a sanrio esque side series on Tiktok where it's half just trending dances, released a game with a soundtrack tailored for every AMV maker in 2007's taste, host a concert that half just a straight up metal concert because of it (AND THE FUCKING LIGHT STICK DOESNT COST $50, $20 IS BARELY ABOVE THE COST OF A GENERIC ONE) and let their Twitter team write a free visual novel with the most accurate character rep in years.

Fandom can be a real make or break for a series and Sega's liberalness at letting the fans have fun not only makes the fandom fun but basically gives them free advertisement and a willing talent pool.

It's my very subjective opinion that despite having worse quality games, Sonic has become a happier fandom than Mario's. Both Sega and Nintendo have been making huge media leaps and I'm not ignoring that Nintendo released a $100 alarm lock and a whole theme park land with a museum theme park on the way but Sega made a more accessible franchise; the games are cheaper, they have a release on Apple arcade, they embraced the app market enough that their mobile games aren't dog shit (unoriginal/ports but I mean definitely better than Mario Run), they do smart collabs for the iPad generation (Cookie run, hololive, angry birds, sanrio, etc), again a whole free steam game that for real could have been a $15 game if they wanted to, they release their own vtuber content that fans love to make fan content for, release like actually quality online content not just the animated shorts and the sonic friends series but they make Tiktoks with the mascot suit and a whole hand puppet and even ones with a plush that reminds me of the ones people would make on YouTube, they are a part of free comic book day, and they have two whole fan run conventions. Like they keep you locked in and there's plenty of options how to express your love for Sonic (street fashion, kawaii, retro, hype beast) in ways I don't find Mario/Nintendo doing (also a lot to be said the way Splatoon probably has been outshining other series in terms of Nintendo series fandom).

Benefits of Ordering Promotional Stuffed Animals in Bulk for Your Business

In today's competitive market, companies are constantly looking for innovative ways to promote their brand and create lasting impressions on their target audience. One of the most effective and versatile promotional products is stuffed animals. While these cuddly toys might seem simple, they have proven to be a powerful branding tool across various industries. Whether for corporate giveaways, marketing campaigns, or event souvenirs, ordering promotional stuffed animals in bulk can provide several key benefits for your business.

As businesses aim to stand out and engage potential customers, promotional products have become essential tools in marketing strategies. Among these, stuffed animals are a timeless and universally appealing option. But why opt for bulk orders of promotional stuffed animals? Not only do they foster emotional connections with your audience, but they also offer significant cost savings, brand visibility, and long-term engagement. In this article, we’ll dive into the top 7 benefits of ordering promotional stuffed animals in bulk for your business, answering common questions and offering valuable insights along the way.

Cost-Effective Marketing One of the most significant advantages of ordering promotional stuffed animals in bulk is the cost savings. When you buy in bulk, you often receive discounts, reducing the price per unit. This is especially beneficial for companies that plan to use these items in large-scale marketing campaigns, at trade shows, or for corporate events. Bulk pricing allows you to stretch your marketing budget further without compromising on quality.

Additionally, stuffed animals have a high perceived value compared to other promotional items like pens or keychains. Recipients are more likely to keep and cherish these toys, ensuring your brand stays with them for a longer time.

Emotional Engagement and Brand Loyalty Stuffed animals evoke positive emotions. Whether given to children, families, or even adults, these soft toys are often associated with feelings of comfort and nostalgia. When your business offers such a thoughtful gift, you create an emotional connection with your audience. This emotional engagement leads to increased brand loyalty, as customers are more likely to remember and support a brand that made them feel good.

Studies have shown that emotionally connected customers are more likely to recommend brands and become repeat buyers. By incorporating promotional stuffed animals into your marketing strategy, you tap into this emotional engagement, which fosters long-lasting relationships with your target audience.

Wide Appeal and Versatility Promotional stuffed animals are suitable for a wide range of industries and occasions. From hospitals and charities to corporate events and trade shows, these items cater to all age groups and demographics. This versatility makes them a great option for any business looking to expand its brand reach.

For example:

A pediatric clinic might offer stuffed animals to young patients as a comforting gesture. A tech company could use customized plush toys to hand out at conferences. A charity organization might give them away as thank-you gifts for donations. Because they appeal to both children and adults, stuffed animals are a safe and effective promotional item for almost any business.

Increased Brand Visibility Every time a customer interacts with the stuffed animal, your brand gains visibility. When your logo, slogan, or mascot is prominently featured on the toy, it becomes a constant reminder of your business. Unlike traditional advertisements that people might forget, stuffed animals tend to stay in homes, offices, or cars for a long time.

Research shows that promotional products generate 500% more referrals than traditional ads. This means that when you distribute stuffed animals with your brand on them, you’re creating multiple impressions over time, thus enhancing your brand’s visibility.

Perfect for Large-Scale Promotions If you’re hosting a corporate event, trade show, or giveaway, bulk orders of stuffed animals make logistical sense. Having a consistent supply of promotional items that are easily recognizable helps your brand maintain a cohesive image. By ordering in bulk, you ensure you have enough on hand to meet demand, and you also minimize the risk of running out during an event.

Large-scale promotions also benefit from the high perceived value of stuffed animals. Because people see them as valuable, they’re more likely to engage with your campaign, increasing the return on your marketing investment.

Customizability to Match Your Brand When you order stuffed animals in bulk, you have the option to fully customize them to represent your brand. You can choose the color, size, and design of the toy, and include your company’s logo, slogan, or mascot. This personalization ensures that the stuffed animals align with your brand’s image and message, making them an effective tool for brand recognition.

Custom stuffed animals also allow you to create limited-edition items, which can create excitement and urgency among your target audience. Offering these as exclusive products for a limited time can drive demand and increase customer engagement.

Long-Term Marketing Impact Unlike digital ads that disappear or promotional items that get discarded, stuffed animals have a long shelf life. They are typically kept for months, if not years, which means that your brand is consistently in front of your customers for an extended period. This long-term marketing impact is a crucial advantage, as it keeps your business top-of-mind without the need for continuous investment.

This doesn't really give me a sense of scale, is this a dressed up plush toy? A person squished in a mascot? A mascot where the beak is the eye slot?

How terrified should I be?

So, these are figures that released last year, all throughout 2023. I was just waiting to be able to justify shipping 20-30USD figures, by DHL... That kept going, until it was already too big of a shipment, and too expensive to justify at all! lol!

Long story longer, I was waiting for HLJ to have a lower shipping option, during the holiday season, but I kind of ended up paying more, than if I had shipped way earlier! I also missed out on getting Cloud Bring Arts, because they never seem to send me in-stock notifications. *sigh* That was frustrating as all heck, and now I am left empty handed, and I'll probably have to get him from SE's USA shop, which charges an eye off the face for s/h. T___T;;;

Most of these are Sasuke prize figures, the ones I don't have doubles on here, I already received in previous shipments. Or, I have still to ship. DX I am super happy with all these, and very excited to build the Sasuke model kit, despite it being entry grade. It looks very nice! I also got a few bath-bombs, because one has a Sasuke, and the others are so adorable, Sanrio characters I couldn't pass by! I did get a full set of the Naruto bath-bomb charters, but I had to get six, and got two of Sakura and Naruto! I wish I had gotten two Sasuke instead. I am also happy that World Box's body is a decent match for my Very Cool Miss Spetsnaz head sculpt. I hope the photos of that, don't send this to the dark side... like it matters. lol!
