Hello everyone!
Welcome to September! The month that basically just stands in the way between summer and MY BIRTHDAY HALLOWEEN October.
Before we dive into the Pokemon Merch announcements from Friday, a couple words from the management (aka Miki)
I basically run this blog and all associated social media outlets (Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram) as a way to connect with other Pokemon merch collectors, and to help share information as well as provide non stock photos of cute Pokemon stuff. With that said, if you find any of the things I share useful, please consider offering support! Not only does this help keep the site up and running, but it also lets me know that my words are not just floating off into the ether of the net.
Currently there are three main ways to help support Mikitzune.com~
Patreon
Along with offering sneak peeks of my artistic works in progress, Patreon offers a laid-back environment where we can talk about up-coming (and current) merch releases.
I offer a couple reward tiers, one of which includes an original piece of art by request. These two pieces are Patreon rewards for August~
Postcards
I also send out original postcards (illustrated by me) every month, with a new design each month.
Buy Me A Coffee
A neat and cute way to help support the site (and also provide me with my much loved coffee)! If you leave the name of a Pokemon in your note when donating, I will draw a little sketch of that Pokemon for you as special thanks
Commission Artwork
Last and certainly not least, I am always open for art commissions! I accept a wide range of commissions, from simple illustrations and icons to headers, backgrounds, logos, and whatever you want. Although the majority of my most recent work is Pokemon fan art, I am always happy to work with other fandoms as well as original characters.

Until next time~
I didn’t know you have a patreon account. I don’t have much money left to spend right now, but it’s enough for a coffee 🙂 Also, I love your artworks. They look adorable ^o^
Back to the merch – I don’t know why, but that Yurutto merch line seems so… familiar. Kinda reminds me of the Pokemomo line-up with their faces. I’ll never forget that Pokemomo Poliwhirl plush. *shudder*
But it’s still a cute line-up. It also features my favorite, Lilligant, so I’ll love it anyway.
