Carly's Pokes~

[Araragi-hakase]

I won't be getting any new gets for a while, but I figured I'd post a thread anyway.

My main collection is Pokabu/Tepig, but I have side collections of Keldeo, Drilbur/Excadrill, Blitzle/Zebstrika, Stunfisk, Archen/Archeops, Munna/Musharna, Mamoswine, Piplup, and Woobat/Swoobat. As far as human characters, I collect Professor Juniper and Fennel and their Pokemon, Elesa, and the Rockets :3 I've been collecting Pokemon seriously for a little over a year now, but I do have a bunch of things from when I was younger. Gen 5 just had so many Pokemon and characters that I loved ;~;

LOOK HOW ORGANIZED I KEEP IT

Lotta images below~

Spoiler

This is my Pokabu collection as of 8/1/12. I got a bunch of the Type Focus promos with him with my birthday money DD I also finally got the Ty Beanie Baby of him in the mail about a week ago.

This is my favorite thing in my collection ;~; This was a New Year's promo at the Pokemon Centers in Japan with a limited number of them made and I feel really lucky to have this. He's super big and soft, doesn't fit on my shelf with the other 'bus.

My Zekrom collection. I gave up collecting him because...well, I just don't like him as much as I did when I started.

Drilbur/Excadrill collection. I also have the Excadrill Pepsi strap, but I keep it on my laptop bag.

Zebras~ I love these guys a whole lot.

My bb Keldeo collection. I only recently started collecting him and I don't plan on getting much more unless something really grabs my eye. Pokedoll, PokeCen plush, lottery strap and 7-11 bottle cap things :3

Pochama collection :3 I keep him with my hockey stuff because my hockey team is the Pittsburgh Penguins and it seems appropriate somehow.

Some heartbats.

Messy ass bookshelf where I keep everything that doesn't fit on my dresser.

Charms I got in the recent promotion

A nice shot of my kid figures

Juni and Fennel's Pokemon lol

I LOVE the art in the mangas. I only have the ones with Juni, Fennel and Elesa in them though, and the BW Pokemon Quiz Book of course, which has a TON of awesome official art in it.

Nintendo World gets from last time I was there in October, and some random Jakks plushes. Most of them are Pokemon I don't collect, just like the plush of.

Now, some more recent gets!

Some of my birthday presents! Pokabu and Zebstrika museum figures :3 I love these things and was really glad to be able to get the two I wanted.

I was lucky enough to be able to go to Nintendo World last week when I was in New York, and these are the plush I got for myself!

Elesa BW2 Clearfile <3

This is what I spent my birthday money on...Keldeo Pokedoll, and a bunch of Pokabu Type Focus promo items, the mini Pokedoll, Pokabu With You pin, andddd Maggyo charms

And finally, my Pokabu Ty Beanie Baby. These are only sold in England, and it took me a while to hunt one down at a reasonable price. But he's really cute, glad I finally got one.

I don't think I'll be getting any new gets for a while due to lack of money, but heh, who knows, I'm always looking for Pokabu stuff especially on eBay~

 

[Zeb]

You have a massive collection

Zebras~ I love these guys a whole lot.

I love Blitzle and Zebstrika too <3 (hence why my name is Zeb and I used to be Blitzle :3). I'm jealous of them!

My avatar is an accurate portrayal of what my face was like when I saw all your stuff xD

XD; It's about a year's worth of collecting. The sad part is it isn't even all of it...^^; But thank you ;~;

Sadly, there's not too much in the way of the zebra merch. I'm still missing a few things, though.

 

[Noivern]

*sees so many Tepig*

Is it just me, or am I melting hard? It's... so... orange... and... *squeezes a Tepig*

 

[Cosmic Gerbil]

I love the little clear Meowth He looks so glassy and shiny :3

 

[$aturn¥oshi]

I used to have those Team Rocket figures...

 

[Italy-kun]

Tepiiiiiiiiig! ^-^
__________V

Crappy ascii is crappy.

 

[Paperhorse]

I really love the Ty Beanie Baby Tepig, it's adorable! Also, I like those charms they are really cute and the perfect size to put on a bag or cell phone.

Overall, your collection is impressive.

 

[Araragi-hakase]

I've been putting off posting things, and even though I have more stuff coming in the mail, the two things I was waiting for got here today so why not DD

Spoiler

First off....my babies got here today!!!

The mail from Japan is so inconsistent...sometimes it only takes me a week to get my things, sometimes it takes up to a month...what gives x__X But anyway, I have been waiting for these guys for about two weeks now, so I am so happy to have them finally on my shelf ;~; I don't collect either of them specifically, the Raichu was just too cute to pass up, and Charizard was the first Pokemon I ever trained on my Blue version, so when they rereleased the Pokedoll, I had to have one :3 I'll name him Fireball, just like I did my bb Charmander when I was a bb

And...well, a little story. I don't HATE the Eeveeloutions by any means, I think that they are all very cute. When I first got in to collecting, my favorite Pokemon was Vaporeon, and has been since I was a kid. I was very frustrated to see how expensive Vaporeon plushes were, and long gave up the idea of ever having one. But when this new wave of promotions for them came out...I decided that I would only buy one Eevee thing....so I did.

I finally have my Vaporeon plush ;_; I LOVE this plush. I love the pose, the art on the tag, and the details on it. I am debating on getting the Espeon one, too, but the prices seem to keep going higher every time I look for one, and I don't really like paying that much for something I don't collect...but man, I bet the Espeon one is just as adorable as the Vaporeon. I am thinking about getting the official PokeCen plush one, too, but I like the pose of this TOMY one a lot better.

The things on my 3DS are customs of Juniper and Fennel ;~; I didn't commission them, they were gifts actually XD The larger two are from an old friend who just randomly gave them to me a few months ago, and the smaller two were made just for me by a close friend for Christmas ;~; <3 I'm happy to have them because they don't have much merch of them I want the Juniper full art card so bad but it's like $50 so I was really happy to receive these <3

The Woobat Pokedoll was just something I had been wanting for a while...I regretted not getting one for myself when I was at Nintendo World, but I tend to prefer the Japanese plush if I can get them, and found this one for sale for a cheap price and went for it. :3 The Wobbu was something Yoshi-San actually picked up for me from Nintendo World when he was there a while ago D I had wanted one for a while, and was happy to know they were back in stock!! The Pokabu thing was something I found on clearance at Target. It's supposed to shake or something, I don't know? It doesn't do anything, and why not, more Pokabus for my shelf. The small Elesa keychain was something I felt lucky to have found a while ago, it has a bolt badge attached to it, too <3 I wanted to put it on my bag or something, but I think I'll just clip her on Raichu instead :3 <3

 

[SteamKnight]

Araragi, I absolutely love your collection, especially the Woobat. I always thought Woobat was a cutie to begin with, and, well, Woobat just got 20% cuter. And is that a Princess Celestia blanket behind the plushies?

 

[CorpseFlower]

Vaporeon plush. <3

Great collection, though. I'm jealous!

Yeah, the Woobat Pokedoll is really cute!!

And yes, it is. I have a FIM bed set and usually end up taking the photos on my bed, so it's visible in a lot of my collection photos XD;

Vaporeon plush. <3

Great collection, though. I'm jealous!

Thank you ;~; The Vaporeon plush is gklajgksljd totally worth it ahhhh <3

 

[Araragi-hakase]

Ah, one of my long time wants finally came in the mail today...a day early even ;___;

I've been looking for this plush for a few years now, every time I saw it it was like $100-$200 because it was made in '08, so it's not being made anymore. I didn't want to pay that much, and after a while I kind of accepted that I probably was just never going to have it. Then a few nights ago I was looking through different sellers on eBay out of boredom, just browsing around to see if there was anything new, and I found this guy ;_____;

Spoiler

He's so big and cuddly and soft, I'm so glad I was finally able to find this Pochama ;___; He looks like he just fell down or something x3

 

[Araragi-hakase]

My pokemon plushes have been in a state of disaray for...well, years now. Pokabu is the only collection that has a proper place, and the rest of side collections and random plushes just began to accumulate all over Pokabu's space and take up other shelves that weren't very good for displaying. And I can't control myself so you would think that lack of space would stop me from buying things but no it didn't and after a while I just had this huge mess all over my dressers....until one day I was in the basement and I found what used to be a cupboard door. My dad helped me measure it and cut it and turn it in to a shelf to display my plushes!

Some new gets under here too

Spoiler

Pokabu has (most) of his space back!

I put all of my plushes on my bed to reorganize and decide where everything was going to go.

All done!!!

I have SO much more space but...I can't believe I filled the shelf up already XD It even had room for my kid figures and such!

And...one new get that I just gkjalgaslkjd I am so stupidly excited to have this ;____;

I don't collect the cards or know much about them at all really, but the second I saw this I just knew I had to have it ;___; The art of her is just gorgeous and it's holographic and first edition and wow I found a little hard case protector to put it in and put it on display with my plushes, since I don't really know what else to do with it and I don't really want to just keep it in a binder XD I might get the English release of this, too, since I was really lucky and got this one waaaay cheaper than what it's listed for on eBay. If Fennel got a full art card to put next to this I would be so happy

 

[Sheep]

Omgg I can't! That little Tepig with Santa's coat (?) is so darn adorable I just. ;~; Your Keldeos are absolutely adorable, too! Man this is such a great gallery!

 

[CorpseFlower]

Damn girl, now that's a collection.

 

[Araragi-hakase]

Haha, thank you all ;~~; And actually...that Pokabu in the Santa outfit was actually a Christmas gift from Musashi a few years ago <333 I'm still amazed that she found one I didn't already have XD

Andd gklajghalsk two new gets~

Spoiler

MAGGYO SLIPPERS!!!! I actually wear these around the house all the time, they're super comfy!! And a Keldeo Resolute Forme Pokedoll <3

And something a little bit different...

Spoiler

I got this shirt off of RIPT Apparel a few weeks ago!! They are similar to TeeFury, etc, where different artists submit designs and you have 24 hours to buy them. I've worn it a few times already and it was totally worth the $10. Musashi and Nyasu!!!

 

[UnovaCastaway]

THOSE PIKACHU PJ PANTS.

Love the fact that you got the Stunfisk slippers too!

 

[Araragi-hakase]

My PitaPoke got here today, and omg, these things are adorable ;~~~;

Spoiler

They are pretty small, but idk, they're cute, fun to stick to things, and definitely different. He came with a little frying pan and a stack of pancakes! I think all of the Pokemon come with little food items.

 

[Araragi-hakase]

Ehhh. What can I say. I gave in.

Spoiler

Sylveon Tomy I was debating between this and the PokeCen one...but I liked the Tomy's pose much better, and she matches my Vaporeon I got a while ago too. I don't plan on collecting Sylveon....but.....I did the bad thing by starting...

And...

Spoiler

I have both of them now 8D I gave in and got the English one too...I really need to get one of those frames for cards so I can display them nicer :3
