Pokemon Center Report – New Pokemon Center Plush & Pokedolls

Hello everyone!

A bunch of new stuff hit Pokemon Centers and Stores in Japan on Saturday, October 7th.

This post will cover the latest Pokemon Center exclusive plush and Pokedolls.

Oricorio Birds

First up, one of the top favorite line of Pokemon Center merch… Pokedolls!

This latest batch of dolls featured all four Oricorio forms: Baile, Pom-Pom, Pa’u, and Sensu.

All four are adorable and round and soft.

1:1 Plush

As part of the Pokemon Center exclusive line of plush, we got two 1:1 size plush!

Usually when we think 1:1 we think big, wow, impressive! In this case, they’re about the same size if not smaller than the usual line of Pokedolls.

1:1 size Cutiefly and Joltik might not be the most impressive in terms of size, but they’re maybe the most adorable!

Furret & Sentret

Speaking of adorable, Sentret and Furret also made an appearance in plush forms!

Sentret is showing off his little muscles. Meanwhile, Furret is very long.

Marill & Wooper

Last but not least, we have our two buddy water type Pokemon: Marill and Wooper!

That wraps up today’s Pokemon Center Report! Stay tuned for Eevee Poncho Extravaganza and Umbreon & Espeon Cosmetics~

Until next time!

Unboxing – Package from Japan Stuffs

Hello everyone!

Today’s update is a new kind of blog post: unboxing! I originally had wanted to make a video, but my hair was super not good when my box arrived and I wanted to open it right away, so here is a bunch of photos instead. Note: when I say a bunch of photos, I mean a lot, so be warned before you read more!

This box is actually mostly filled of stuff for my girlfriend, Kerstin, who also placed the order, so a special shout out to her! And of course, shout out to Japan Stuffs for picking up all of these items from the Pokemon Center and being generally awesome.

Both my girlfriend and I generally stick to EMS shipping when sending things from Japan, because of the security (EMS automatically comes with tracking) and the speed (it generally takes between 3-5 days depending on how quickly the box is shipped out from Japan). The package was shipped out on a Wednesday and had already arrived by Saturday. For the most part, the box arrived intact, although there was a small hole on one side, which was the fault of the postal service, but it happens and it’s happened on multiple boxes of mine in the past. However, I will point out that Japan Stuffs individually wraps all items in the box in little bags, so even if the shipping box is damaged in flight, you don’t have to worry about items going missing.

Moving on to what everyone wants to see…what’s inside the box!
