Tomorrow is already February and so here I am with my monthly Patreon reminder!
All support on Patreon goes toward new art creations as well as me being able to report on Pokemon merchandise directly from the Pokemon Centers in Japan, which means more pictures and more ufo catching madness. You also get neat rewards like art, phone wallpaper, and postcards!
Check out my page if you haven’t already 🙂
This past weekend was fairly quiet release wise, but a new booster pack dropped on Friday, January 27th, and as with most booster pack releases, a bunch of other TCG related merch also came out on the same day.
First up, the booster packs themselves! This set contains only holo cards, and the price per pack reflects this, with each pack costing roughly 250 yen.
A couple special card sets were also released, including a set featuring Turtonator
and one featuring Rockruff. Along with the featured cards, each set comes with two packs of Sun & Moon booster cards.
There were also three other special card sets featuring Primarina, Incineroar, and Decidueye promotion cards. Those sets were slightly more expensive and also included more booster packs.
Friday also gave us re-releases of the 5 most popular card sleeve designs from Pokemon TCG’s past catalog of card sleeves. These designs were chosen by a vote. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t mildly salty that Steven ended up with two designs out of the 5, especially considering how many illustrations have been released with some really amazing art. But to each their own.
The Chandelure sleeves are one of my favorites
As are the Powerpuff Girl-esque Eeveelutions.
On a parting note, it’s almost February and that means Valentine’s Day is approaching!
Along with my usual commissions, I am offering two types of Valentine’s Day related commissions.
If interested, contact me via the form on this site, send an email to mikitzune (at) gmail (dot) com, or get in touch with me on Twitter @zombiemiki.
Until next time!
