>the anime is retconning Brock and Misty
kek
>>6335062
The new movie isn't remotely canon to the anime, if that's what you mean.
Also, if it were, it was always stupid that two Kanto Gym leaders just said "Fuck it, let's follow this turd" anyway.
I need it already.
>>6335062
If the girl was cute I wouldn't care, but she's not, so it sucks.
>>6335062
so Ash saw Incineroar, Lucario and Piplup before leaving Kanto and would still look them up anyway?
>>6335086
I bought it at stupid mark up and waiting for Nebby plush, it is a small bag, but doesn't feel cheap at least.
>>6335625
>>6335598
yes. he's not too bright.
>>6335625
Wow that's a good gym bag, not too obv or big
I saw somebody mention in the last thread they were able to preorder the ~3ft eevee plushes, any idea where to do that?
>>6336276
I'll be preordering from Amazon Japan as soon as they go up. I hate how expensive their shipping is but for whatever reason anything slower is taking 5-6 weeks to get to me.
Some plushies from the latest Sanei release
Huge drifloon arrived! It's made with Mocchiri fabric and marshmallow fluff stuffing so it's astonishingly soft.
Pokemon PoP! Plush straps. The backside is a very soft material to clean a device screen with. If you've ever held a TsumTsum, it's exactly the same as on their belly. They have a string loop to attach and a plastic spring so you can pull the plushie around to wipe the screen.
Size comparison! The smaller espeon and umbreon are the ones sold at US Pokemon Center last year. The larger ones are what's currently available in the Johto Pokemon plush set. The new ones have slightly thicker legs and stand on their own much better.
>>6336308
Full set, co-starring life size Chikorita and Cyndaquil from NYC Pokemon Center circa 2001. Chikorita has a huge leaf, it's just a funny angle.
Reposting for the anon who had a question about them last thread on VP. They're not filled with beads or even beans. Stuffed only with the ultra soft marshmallow fluff filling.
I get migraines and I've been buying up as many thick plushies made of Mocchiri with marshmallow fill as I can. It's absolutely what I've always wanted to cradle my head like it's floating on air when I've got a migraine.
For anyone else who likes the Build a Bear Pokemon, finally have a release date.
>>6336296
I knew I was going to regret pre-ordering those Mimikyu, they look even worse than the stock photo
>>6336316
Nice. If you're planning on getting one in-store, go that day, they run out quick.
So far, all the BAB Pokemon have been fairly large plush of a nice quality (other than Pikachu's weird proportions).
>>6336294
Oh their post implied it was available for preorder right now.
>>6336554
it is, I'm not sharing where
>>6336588
Autism Level: Maximum
Enjoy e-bogarting an overpriced and mass-produced plush toy for like a week, if it makes you feel big and important in your sad little world.
>>6336617
no, but your assdevastation sure makes it worth it
>>6336516
Just gonna order online for all the exclusive stuff. It'll be free shipping anyway.
>>6336296
Mimikyu looks awful. Glad I got the PC one. Can I see a pic of Vulpix alone please, I have one on the way.
>>6336316
I want to see their bulbasaur
>>6336805
glad I picked it up the minute it came out, it sold out in Japan instantly as well
>>6335625
>>6335629
Yeah, size aside it's a very well made bag.
>>6335058
This series is against God!
>>6336588
Okay thanks anyways
>>6336631
Sanei in the center
>>6337435
damn, San-ei really fucked up with this round of plushes
>>6337435
That gengar in the back.
I still need a nice gengar plush.
>>6337662
The Gengar in the back took forever to find! I don't know why he was so elusive! He's from the I Love Gengar set that just came out. His face just cracks me up.
This is one of my favorite Gengars. He's a MokoMoko. This line is all made of the super, super fluffy fabric and is very soft. (Not to be confused with Mocchi Mocchi, though!)
Amazon US actually sells the majority of them! So they're available for about 20$ if you go for the ones sold by Amazon proper. The have Pikach, Kanto starters, Mew, Gengar, and Eevee. There's also a Dedenne, but for some reason haven't seen him on Amazon US.
>>6337767
I'd like a moderate size Gengar plush that feels nice, but the ones you've shown are pretty cute too.
>>6337649
Yea, they're really different when it comes to the small details. Something I really like about the sanei one is the tails and the head fluff are made from a different material than the body. It's more fuzzy and fluffy than smooth like the body is.
This new Sanei line, a lot of the plushies are very heavily weighted by beans in their bottoms, but this Vulpix doesn't have that as severely as some of the others. Mimikyu (at least mine) by contrast is very heavy with a bean butt and overstuffed. Vulpix is more soft, like they have been in the past.
>>6337770
There's Mocchi Mocchi Gengar, if you can find one. I think he's the only one right now that's more of a huggable size, unless Build a Bear makes one. All the other big ones I know of are like pillow pals from 2001.
>>6337781
How could I forget this guy! He's not out yet, but hopefully he doesn't get cancelled. I've got a few from this line, and they're really great plushies!
>>6336316
I work at a Build a Bear and I'm really excited for this.
I know we have plenty of quadruped bears already like MLP and HttyD but I'm still worried that Bulbasaur might never happen to round out the original Kanto family. He'd just be too hard to stuff and dress, especially with like half his body size being that big bulb.
>>6338381
They could do the bulb like a back pack like the turtle plushie from years ago, but I don't know if Nintendo would allow something like that. They're so crazy about controlling their IPs (don't blame them) that they'd probably flip if you could put bulbasaur's bulb on something else.
Maybe they could do him as an online only exclusive with some special outfit like the ponies get specially made just for him. Like, Stay Puft Marshmallow man was online only - I imagine partly due to size and partly due to him not really fitting in the general clothing selection.
But I wouldn't be surprised if poor Bulbasaur just didn't happen.
Packages came this afternoon! Mega size Kuttari Piplup with regular kuttari for scale
>>6338964
Some of the new Eeveelutions Pokedolls line, with enamel pins and sticker packs
Does anyone have a knock off D-arts Charizard?
Is it as bad as one would expect?
>>6339317
The huge Piplup and Pikachu kuttaris have been the only ones in awhile. I suspected they did the kuttari line because of the TsumTsum craze and now are letting the Banpresto Kororin plushies fill that niche. They're smaller and more round and plump like Tsums. I like the Kuttaris though. Old school beanie baby realness.
And I know what you mean about Mr. Stay Puft! He and my ghostbusters bear have the marshmallow scent and I couldn't imagine it any other way. If the pizza scent wasn't so... odd I might pop a seam on Slimer, stuff it in and stitch him back up.
"Pew"
>>6339871
I liked the size and feel of Kuttaris, a little sad we didn't get Alola ones, Litten and Rockruff would have been a must for me.
Am I the only one who got the office toys that came out a bit ago? The translucent plastic they used for the effects is a little too soft on a couple of them, but I'm overall satisfied.
>>6337832
Procrastinating at work and found some more bigger Gengars. The I Love Gothic set came out a few years ago, but if you don't mind a cushion instead of an actual plush, you may be able to find that one. Then there's this Pikachu and Friends one with a pillow and an I Love Gothic DX plushie.
>>6341532
Did you get them just blind box or did you find someone letting you pick which one you wanted?
>>6341539
I believe I got them from AmiAmi, and the box happened to have one of each despite seemingly being unopened. Don't shop there enough to know if that's standard for them, but it was cool.
>>6338407
Having a removable bulb really wouldn't work. At least not in any way I can see. For all the IPHONE reasons you have already said for yourself, but also it would just be he'll to stuff. Trust me.
My store is going to get Eevee back in Stock for when Squirter launches though, so if anyone ITT is interested that's happening.
We actually already have one Squirtle in our back room so we can display him on 6/1. I can confirm that he is fucking adorable. I'm thinking over covering him in TMNT accessories.
>>6341700
That's pretty sweet! Can you do a group shot?
>>6341754
Oh god, I hadn't even thought about the stuffing part... the line would be out the door while stuffing one took like 10 minutes, haha. Have any TMNT stuff left? Dress him like that, but with some Squirtle Squad sunglasses instead of the eye bandana things.
>>6341700
Ami generally sell full sets of candy toys like what I imagine these are like.
Basically the box that would go to a shop to sell the individual boxes inside.
>Look in this thread hoping for news on figuarts Pokemon since I haven't paid attention to the line since Lucario
>Nothing but literal trash 0-5 POA knockoff looking chink shit and plushies which are arguably not even toys
Jesus Christ I'm glad I don't really give a shit about pokemon. But man what a waste of a franchise.
>>6341858
The Figuarts line has been practically dead since forever, where the fuck were you?
>>6341875
Buying other shit. I haven't been on /toy/ in a while since I've shifted over to much more expensive stuff than what's typically discussed on here. What a shame, the figuarts stuff was pretty fucking great.
>>6341875
Figuarts Rocket and Ash are cumming soon though.
>>6341858
You are surprised Lucario killed off that line of posable Pokemon?
Then again that ugly as fuck Pikachu probably helped too.
>>6341858
we can't discuss much else since we haven't gotten any updates on Figma Red or the Nendoroids
we are getting Figuarts Ash and Team Rocket in July though
>>6340593
excellent
>>6336626
This is /toy/, not /v/ or /b/. You don't have to be an internet tough guy here.
Especially regarding pokemon plush toys for gods sake
>>6341858
Yeah, I'd prefer more talk about figurines. PKMNcollectors is mostly full of plushies and the same seems to be happening here, too. Anyway, you guys looking forward to anything coming out?
Although I didn't play Sun&Moon, I'm excited for Lillie. There's been a lot of Red/Ash variations, so a change will be nice. Hoping for some more scaled mid-evo Tomy figures. Gimme dat Croconaw.
>>6336299
Is it worth it? I've been eyeing it and the oddish plush.
>>6343154
It's so amazingly soft. The body is squishy and stretchy, he's stuffed with the super soft marshmallow fluff, and the little poof on his head is like touching a cloud. I'm only worried about his little noodle arms where they attach to the "hands". They seem to be just glued into an opening in the fabric and I've had other plushies with this method have the string pop out. If it happened, wouldn't be hard to fix, but I'm still very careful with his arms.
I ordered mine from Amazon Japan. I waffled for a few days because shipping was like 53$ but now that he's here, I'm saving up to get Oddish and Togedemaru, too. (I ordered Rowlet through eBay because shipping was so much less, but it'll be like 3 more weeks till he arrives.)
>>6343163
>shipping was like 53$
Holy shit. Is that normal for Amazon Japan?
>>6343175
depends on size and weight, but then again, I only order BDs and manga from there
>tfw fucking love Rotom
>decided that it'd be a pretty easy Pokemon to get a lot of the merch for so I might as well go all in for it
>find out a lot of the older merch is either Japan Exclusive, expensive, or hard to find in general
>find pokemoncollectors on livejournal
>spend a shit ton of money on shit (
Not really though, got a lot of great deals on hard to find merch like the Rotom cup from Japan and the Throwing Pokeball shitty plush thing
>find out my collection is baby dick compared to most of the other autist and that there's a bunch of stuff Rotom appears on that could be part of my collection/weird shit I know I'll never find like an electric type paper airplane thing
>Sun Moon Happens
>Rotom shit out of everyfuckingwhere
>no shekels to get a lot of the stuff I want
I'm absolutely shocked that a kind of obscure Pokemon like that has gotten so popular with all the merch. Pokemon Center US just got a bunch of nice stuff in, and I'm sure we'll be getting a bunch of Pokedex Rotom shit in, although not on the level that Japan has.
At least it makes it nice that I will probably get new Rotom cards every year instead of once every 5 years like before.
>>6343286
I tried to join that livejournal group but they didn't accept
>i want to buy cute pokemon plushes
as a valid reason to join.
>>6343301
i forgot how i was able to get in, forgot i needed a reason 7 years ago. maybe "to expand/share my collection with others" is a better idea
>>6343301
same, except I put down "meet fellow Pokemon fans" instead
I hate how elitist they are
>>6343350
there were a few instances of assholes in the past few years. aside from negligent sellers and plain bad people, i still remember some post about "glorious revoltech" or something
>>6343364
Then make the group invite only, don't make somebody come up with some drawn out bullshit excuse when all they want is somewhere to look at or buy merch
>>6343364
I understand, but why the need to write an essay and establish some profile just to buy or sell Pokemon stuff.
>>6343371
it's still worth it though. prices cheaper than ebay, pickup/middleman runs, even if its a rat race most of the time
>>6342865
>didn't play Sun&Moon
>I'm excited for Lillie
I am confus. Play the game dude.
I only got the Red and Green Nendos because of nostalgia, and because the characters were chibi in the actual game. If I had to get a Lillie it would be a 6in figure scale to fit her game appearance.
People talk about plush, because there isn't much going on no the figure side. They only JUST started giving us Figma and Figuarts. Honestly I don't care much for the anime characters. I would rather have protags, Gym leaders and Villains from the game.
>>6343301
>>6343350
The creator literally made the group to help sell her shit. When Japanese stuff was harder to get/ people didn't know how to import, she would shill her site more. Now that there are many options for Japanese merch and people don't have to pay crazy commission fees, she is gone.
The admins are mostly worthless. They don't answer questions and only care about certain members they like. They set up pages for people to sign up for stuff, let all their friends get on the list, then stop checking it for years. lel
>>6342865
>i didn't play the best entries since B2W2
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>6343566
she's not from XY, silly
>>6343175
Like the other anon said, depends on size and weight. I bought a bunch of the new Eeveelutions Pokedolls, sticker packs, pin packs, and other assorted goodies and shipping for all of it was barely 30$.
But I'm willing to pay it because it's basically 2 day rush priority shipping with a tracking number and the Amazon guarantee that if shit fucks up, I get all my money back.
When I pre-order from them, the items typically release on a Sunday and it's at my house Tuesday afternoon, sometimes even Monday evening.

Yeah, Gin is kind of a bitch. She never straight up says anything mean, but you can tell she has a superiority complex. Also she's a greedy ass whore. She hasn't posted anything on PKMN collectors in years so she's really a non-issue now.
The rest of the community is pretty nice, albeit childish.
>>6343696
Good features
horrible stories
Red figma fucking when?
I can't even imagine what it'll look like
>>6335598
Nigga wait what
Pulled the trigger on the pokecen Totodile plush just now lads
I'm excited, totodile was my first pokemon and this is the plush I've been waiting for since I was like 10.
>>6344147
Hope it wasn't this one
>>6344176
Ha, no. I did consider grabbing the pokedoll at some point because it was the only easily available totodile plush. Damn, the new plush makes the pokedoll look like such shit.
>>6343486
I don't have much time for playing these days, unfortunately. Just a bit here and there on emualtors. But it had a huge impact on me as a kid, so I still follow the franchise, so that's why I'm excited for Lillie.
That's a fair point about their scale in and out of game, too. It's why I would've preferred someone other than Red for a figma.
Did anyone managed to get a photo of the prototype Lillie GEM figure?
>>6345880
where was this shown? to my knowledge, there is no prototype yet, just the image
Weird question, but can the string on Banpresto plush be removed?
I want to buy one, but I think the string is really ugly.
>>6346373
according to pokeshopper, theyre also making Ash and Greninja GEMs
>>6335062
Wait what happened?
>>6346514
There's a new movie coming that initially looked like it was going to be just a straight reboot, but it's actually retconning shit like replacing Brock and Misty.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa-bLIPe684
It's actually really funny because nostalgiafags of course thought it was going to be another gen 1 fapfest like Origins.
>We will never get more VAH pokken figures
>>6346531
no way, i thought it was just a midquel when the two werent around. Not even the Simpsons would retcon their own characters
>>6346542
>finally make the best toys of the characters
>nobody likes them because too smol or butterface
>>6346546
>only did characters that already had a release from another company
I mean, I was glad because I already missed out on the figuarts mewtwo, but I just wanted anyone other than Lucario
>>6346544
Retconning is the wrong word. From the looks of it, this movie is just its own thing, it's own canon. I doubt the anime is going to acknowledge it in any way other than maybe some cameos.
>>6346557
Also, the whole "look a reboot! surprise! it's not a straight reboot!" thing is pretty intentional, so it seems really dickish if it was meant to be an outright retcon deal.
Here's the first trailer released a good bit earlier than the second one and it definitely was meant to look like a 1:1 reboot of the anime:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-aWlbgRjIM
>>6346499
Yup! They leave minimal holes that kinda close on their own once you reruffle the fur a bit.
>>6346542
I had VAH Mewtwo and didn't like it. I'd rather just more Tomy.
>>6346511
site only says they have pictures of the painted Rosa and prototype Hilda figures, they only announced the Ash figure
>>6346511
>>6347433
>Shitty Ash-greninja
Who would want to spend that much money on a bunch of losers?
>>6347953
losing aside, it's just a terrible design regardless.
>>6347953
I cannot fathom why anyone likes him. It's a frog, with fucking bushy hair and sideburns. It's one of the dumbest designs ever.
Have they made any merchandise of Alolan Exeggcutor?
>>6348144
it has an ippai figure. but we'll have to wait for something big
>>6347953
>Ash can't have a Mega, because.
>let's give him his own thing
>let's overpower him and such
>no no he can't win the league. it's the law
>let's release him into the wild
Ash-gren in-game sucks and his toy sucks, but it's a ninja frog which is still cool on its own.
>>6348510
yeah, normal greninja is a great design. That abomination, though...
>>6348144
Plushie and figure in August. Click "upcoming merch" on Pokeshopper for pics
>>6348510
I find it harder to pose Ash Greninja than the original. Also the QC on most of the ones I've encountered could be better. I had to pledge repair one of the elbows on mine too.
>>6348624
it may have to do with Greninja being straight from japan but the other one is a domestic product or something. the latter's tongue is differently molded, the whole figure's a darker blue...it was supposed to be a redeco but its more like they just made a brand new thing
>>6335588
This guy gets it.
>>6348510
What's wrong with the figure? I've seen it around.
>>6348681
>>6335588
yup
>>6348689
joints are loose, and its remolded head adds top-heavy weight only supported by its tip toe frog feet
>>6348692
When the movie girls are traditionally cute, it's always sad when they make a not cute one. Her profile describes her as masculine, so basically they tried to make her uncute.
>>6348689
the joints are ridiculously loose, it's very disappointing compared to the original Greninja figure
>>6348696
We didn't get the original figure here. Pokémon toy releases are patchy and erratic at best.
>>6348697
where are you located?
>>6348724
New Zealand.
Transforming Zygarde figure when?
It's been more than a month, why can't I find reviews for ARTFX May?
Anyone have their account debited recently by the Pokemon Center Japan? I'm presuming it's for the rerelease of the Red Nendoroid…
>>6348510
Isn't ash Greninja not only in the upper tiers but also stronger than protean Greninja and megazard x
new Takara Tomy figures
>>6351374
>eh, im done with using starters in competition. or even the Battle tree. they are not that great because theyre starters
Then you don't know shit about competitive.
>>6351397
but it's frail
>>6351400
yes, but that doesnt stop it from dominating
>>6351423
and it has to kill something to mega evolve. which likely means it already took a huge hit or fainted before it could
>>6351427
nice to meet you, ELO hell shitter
>>6351501
shut up
so back in the day 2000s hasbro made the best pokemon toys?
>>6351374
>they are not that great because theyre starters
>>6351427
You certainly don't know shit about competitive. Greninja with any ability is a monster competitively. With its speed, attacking stats, and movepool, Greninja has many opportunities to net a kill. If its opponent lives long enough to get the hit in, you're doing something wrong.
>>6351559
my cincinno literally destroys greninja.........
[spoiler]talking about competitive is annoying when it just dissolves into dick waving contests[/spoiler]

magnemite figures? What am I looking at here
>>6351667
it shows coming soon for me
>>6351673
Yeah what though, does it even have to do with /toy/?
>>6351231
Please tell me that Alolan Exeggcutor is huge. I want one that's 6 inch +.
>>6351795
itll likely be 3.5-4 inches. A-Exeggutor is still marketable though, so there's hope for more and bigger merch that hopefully isnt plush
>>6351676
turns out its magnemite magnets
So I finally got my primarina from plazajapan. I preordered to get her shortly after release but luck have it my package got lost. This is the first time it ever happened to me and it sucked donkey balls. I messaged them, they tell me to wait a few more days and it still doesn't show. They offer me a full refund and I just ask if I can get a new plushie and pay for better shipping. They drop it off the 28th and she's here today.
If you guys are still on the fence for her, I say pull the trigger. Really big plush that looks good in a lot of poses. Super cute.
>>6351795
no specs yet, but by the way the scaled it, it seems it may be on par with the larger vinyl legendary Pokemon figures
>>6352693
>plazajapan
didn't know about this site, how are they able to sell at the same price pokemoncenter jp has them?
Can someone show me what the ball joint on the head of the D arts mewtwo or sh figuarts mega blaziken looks like?
Mimikyu gacha figures coming out in September. Fuck, I'm going to have to figure out how to order gacha sets for these, never done it before.
>>6353386
fuck, guess I gotta hit up my plug
>>6348495
Where did you get that, I was looking for similar quality on exeggutor figure.
>>6353128
make 40 separate threads about it and maybe
>>6353524
can you tell me what his ball joint smells like just wondering haha
>>6353524
Thanks for encouraging him, he's already started.
>>6352857
I have absolutely no fucking clue. It's like 1 dollar difference but they're legit. They ship from a japanese address. They include the bag they bought the item in sometimes. They even include pokemon center goodies like postcards every now and then. I'm baffled. But they're a small business and really easy to communicate with so I'm gonna keep supporting them.
>>6344147
Gang's all here!
Totodile is so incredibly soft and perfect, if you even slightly want one I say go for it
>>6352222
Sadly, doesn't say how tall it is.
>>6353386
I love that Mimikyu set so much! I hope Amazon Japan puts it up for preorder. I've seen them have a lot of Pokemon gacha and blind box sets.
Just pre-ordered pic related the other day. It's 40$ for the box with 6, hope that means it's one of each. I love this Pokemon Terrarium kind of thing.
This week's additions!
Build a Squirtle, TOMY Blastoise, Pokemon Center Pyukumuku, keychain Nebby and the tiny version of Lilly'S bag.
>>6354737
Did you crochet that Jirachi yourself? If you did, I hate you please teach me!
>>6354773
I did indeed! It's super perfect but I can't toot my own horn too much, I didn't come up with the pattern. If you search "Jirachi pokemon pattern by danielle adams" on google you should be able to find it, it's a free pattern on her blog. It's pretty much "life size," as you can see in my picture
If you can't crochet there's tons of resources online to learn, it's not as hard as it looks I promise!
>>6354778
Awesome -thanks! I picked it up a few years back but my proficiency is limited to scarves and blankets, haha. The dream is to one day be able to do plushies. May as well give it a go again!
>>6354797
You could try learning by searching for easy or beginner's patterns for amigurumi (it's a japanese term for crochet or knit plush animals, it's a popular style usually made in the round in continuous spirals). It's a start. Oh, I'd also recommend learning the magic loop method of starting in the round, you'll use it a lot.
Travel sized Neb arrived today. My bag is now has purpose. I am content.
>faggots actually hating on Ash Greninja's design
How can it be possible to have such shit taste? It's pretty cringe how irrational the hate for anything "Ash" is honestly. Almost feel bad for said people. Can't wait for the G.E.M with him in it personally.

Ugh, that is my worry... I've been ordering from the same seller on eBay for a few years but the last few months the shipping that normally takes 2 weeks has been taking a month and a half. I'm looking for different places to buy from with more reliable shipping.
So far, all the orders have shown up and at the moment I only have 2 still out there somewhere... but I don't want to assume something is lost, get a refund, and then it shows up. I'd feel so bad.
Funnily enough, my Primarina is the one Ive been waiting on the longest. Your post gives me hope that it will show up soon.
I'd put one in a place of honor and then clip the tags off the other and just play with and cuddle her.
This is up for pre-order on Plaza Japan. 320mm height. About 1 foot tall?
Tokyo toyfair 2017 stuff
>>6355768
It's the size of the blister. They're huge.
And it's cheaper on HLJ.
>>6355796
Mareanie figure hype!
>>6355731
Yeah. I feel even worse because they're a small company. They said if I didn't need the first one I could just deny the package but the mailman just left it on the porch so I didn't get a chance
>>6351663
I want them all!
>>6354761
The mimikyu set is on hlj https://hlj.com/product/TTA85862
>>6355801
I think plazajapan might be best for buying things that can only be obtained from the pokemon center store.
>>6355807
You can return it to the post office, package unopened, and say you deny it. If it's clearly not touched, they'll mark it refused and return it.
>>6355340
me too
>>6355803
i hope we get bigger figgers of the starters. we missed out last gen, except for greninja
>>6354767
ahh I hope my pyukumuku arrives soon. Love that stupid anus face loaf.
>>6355852
Oh, awesome! Thanks!
>>6335058
Here are the first pics of the 1:1 Eeveelutions. What do you guys think? Some of them look fucked in the face lel.
>>6356164
That flareon looks so fluffy, holy shit.
Gotta put in my preorder for Vaporeon. My fav since I was a little girl.
>>6355731
And they showed up this afternoon.
I didn't realize their arms were completely poseable! They have that plastic jointed skeleton like Tapu Koko! What a great surprise!
And they're absolutely massive. Completely worth the cash and the wait. Stellar plushies.
>>6356164
Sylveon looks really cute, I might consider buying it.
Also, is the US pokemon center online store having trouble importing the series 5(Starter mid-evos, Lycanroc, Jangmo-o, etc.) plush and the starter pokedolls? They're already selling the series 6 plushes and that ditto plush line, which came out so much later. I think I might just order from plazajapan if they take too long.
>>6356347
I guess there's some hold up with making the tush tags. The tags are completely different on a Japanese plush compared to an American. It's so weird that we got the Rowlet cushion, non-shiny Koko, then the latest Ditto set but not the transforming Snorlax or the keychain sizes.
And we're waiting so long for Alola Persian, Marowak, Dugtrio and others. Especially the starters! I've given up and started buying from US and Japanese Amazon and some other places. I wish they could tell us what was the hold up. I never know if I should wait or what.
>>6336276
Sunyshore has preorders up now. Their Twitter says they have "limited slots but may offer more once Pokemon Center preorders officially open on the 10th." Dunno how many exactly they're taking. I just nabbed a Vaporeon.
>>6355167
I hope that she will come with any of these faces
>>6356705
Yeah but $300 though
>>6356705
Can I somehow preorder one with a proxy service?
>>6356760
Considering they're expensive anyway, large, and someone has to lug them back to their house and ship it out.
>>6356285
can decidueyes head move?
>>6356766
yes, and please do so, Sunyshore is a cancer that needs to go away.
I understand that they're going out of their way to sell things exclusively from Japan, but their mark-ups are ludicrous.
>>6356787
Do you have any suggestions as for who to use? I've never ordered anything from japan before
>>6356794
tenso, Big in Japan, there's plenty out there. You could also see if they're going to be made available on Amazon JP and order through there.
>>6356806
what's the difference between tenso and buyee?
>>6356809
Buyee is owned by tenso. I don't think they're interchangeable though. Buyee gets you shit from yahoo auctions and amazon jp where I've used tenso to get things from small websites like booth or otamart
>>6356760
Yea, that 300$ before shipping sucks, but I put away 400$ for one as soon as I saw they'd be about 200$ retail. I guess I don't mind the markup because someone still has to go down to the store and back, to the post office and back, that's time and travel expenses.
Most sellers on eBay there's a decent markup. I order from Amazon Japan all the time and while their markup is extremely small, the shipping is ludicrous. Something as big as these plushies is going to easily be 200$ just in shipping with them.
I'm hoping the American PokeCenter gets these guys in next year, but I'm not holding my breath. If we get that giant size Lapras, it'll give me hope. After all, we did get the huge ditto.
Sanei plushes arrived, really don't compare with the Pokemon Center Mimikyu
>>6357211
Says you can order from pokemon center on their website
Big pic of all the eevees.
>>6357720
Yeah, they look too stiff, and the proportions are wrong. Glad I canceled my order.
>>6357980
Based on this image
Jolteon > Glaceon > Flareon > Sylveon > Umbreon > Espeon > Leafeon = Vaporeon = shit
>>6358068
Yeah I hope they fix Vaporeon's eyes before production.
Dug these out of storage on a whim. Surprised that they're in such good condition, especially Dawn which had shit Jakks quality to begin with.
S.H.Figuarts Brock with Swoopbat confirmed!!!
Premuim Bandai Exclusive October 2018 release 6500円 without Swoopbat or 8500円 deluxe set with Swoopbabt!!!
>>6358078
that's Crobat...
>>6357720
I bought a KO Mimikyu from ebay, supposedly based on the Pokemon Center one. I still want the official one though.
>>6358462
Amazon Japan has both big and keychain Nebby and the small bag.
The big Nebby you have to click to see all available, then choose the one sold by Amazon. It says they're backordered till August 15th, but I ordered one June 1st and just got a message they got it in sooner than expected and now it's preparing to ship.
They also have a bunch of the new Mimikyu stuff for preorder. These are the tote bags and mini change purses and card pass holders.
>>6358078
That Brobat is small as fuck...
>>6354767
How long is the strap on the tiny nebby bag?
>>6359204
From plastic hook tip to tip, about 30 inches. Strap itself 28inches or so.
>>6359451
Thank you. Was wondering if a doll could hold it because it's smaller, but it's a bit big for a 60 cm one.
Why are there literally no good pokemon toys anymore? I've still got all my shit from 1997-98, and its like all they want to do these days is re-market Gen 1 every fucking year. Theres hardly any Gen 3-7 merch that honestly matters, or isnt a fucking plushie/mini-fig
>>6360191
Why are you baiting so hard? It's one thing to say you don't like a lot of new merch, but to say that all of the newer stuff is bad is just not true.
I've been with the series from the start and a lot of the older stuff misses the mark in terms of likeness to the design of the characters. Nostalgia isn't a big selling point for me. Newer merch also has the benefit of newer technology + being lower in price and easier to find.
>>6360208
>Why are you baiting so hard
I'm not and your pic is proving my exact point. Gen 1 shit. All the good fiugures and poseables are The Gen 1 starters, Ash and Mewtwo.
My point is none of the other gens get anywhere near as much love with the toy lines. And I don't know about you, but a Charizard toy was cool 20 years ago, not now. I'm sick of them releasing the same shit when they should be exposing more love for all the newer stuff they make.
>>6360213
they're pandering to manchildren with too much money who only care about the first generation
>>6360220
Which is exactly the problem. Pokemon merchandising can make a mint, they're one of the companies out there that can afford to make lesser known figs and make a profit, yet they choose to play it safe allo the damn time.
Hell The face of gen 4 isnt even Dawn or Lucas anymore, not even Cynthia, or the box legends. Its fucking Lucario. Always fucking lucario. So much to the point they abused it to hell and stuck it in as a plot point for Gen 6 when it didnt fit all because of the stupid MEga evolution gimmick.
>>6360213
You made multiple points. Yes they focus on gen 1, because they know it sells. You said all new stuff is bad, which is just baiting.
>Why are there literally no good pokemon toys anymore?
Bait
>I'm not and your pic is proving my exact point.
Bait
>My point is none of the other gens get anywhere near as much love with the toy lines.
Yes, because gen 1 sells and it's iconic. It sucks sometimes, but sometimes it's cool.
>>6360191
???
There is tons of decent shit from the other generations. SHF Mega Blaziken, Tomy's articulated, scaled starters from everything but gen 2 and 4, Tomy's YMMV-scaled articulated Megas (Mawile, Absol, Banette, Sableye), the entire Plamo line, Nendo Cynthia/Garchomp, Nendo N/Reshiram....
Also nice garbage bootleg Kyogre.
>>6360228
Not him but I don't see what Lucario has to do with Gen 1 pandering. Or are you now just blindly raging how YOUR favorite characters aren't popular enough instead of sticking to any point you may have had?
minis of best girls coming in september
>>6360191
The plush are pretty good nowadays. But this thread seems to hate all things soft and cuddly.
>>6360967
>Keychains
Eh.
I'd want Dawn though
>>6360967
I can finally have a Mini-Misty lure
Is Figuarts Pikachu really as bad as he looks?
>>6362266
Yup
>>6362312
Damn, I was hoping it would be a "better in hand" kind of toys.
What's the best articulated Pikachu on the market these days?
>>6362320
I don't know if it's the best, but I quite like the Sprukits Pikachu. It is a DIY snap model like Gundam models, but very simple and meant for kids.
They go for like 30 now though, and I'm not sure they're worth that much. I got it and Mewtwo for cheap off a local store.
>>6362320
Check out the most recent plamo pikachu that is releasing in july
>>6362453
That looks like something I could be after, but I don't have much experience with kits.
>>6362706
They are literally intended for children, so I think you would be able to manage.
Typically plamos only have a dozen or so pieces, and do come with detail stickers if you don't want to paint.
Because I'm a masochist, I bought the bootleg SHF Charizard.
Bootleg on the left, legit on the right.
I'm actually pleasantly surprised; it's fun as heck and the only glaring issue mine has is that it has a misaligned jaw.
Because the thing comes in a goddamn 100% identical box to the real one, for future reference:
The bootleg has duller, more burnt hues of orange paint and yellow paint highlights on the knees and wings. The mouth and tongue are also completely different colors than the legit version; burgundy and light bubblegum pink on the bootleg vs.saturated dark red and vivid dark pink on the official release.
The wing joints seem to have been modified, and steel pin joints are visible on the bootleg.
The bootleg is also made of a completely different from the official release, which feels like a very dense rubber. Each of the cups between the tail segments are now flexible soft rubber.
The flame effects also now have soft rubber "skin" pieces inside of them.
The flames fit infinitely better with the bootleg than with the official release.
Anyone have the bootleg garchomp + cynthia nendos?
I want the garchomp but I don't wanna pay full price
lads am I horrible for wanting to own this bootleg
I found it for sale and now I wish to aquire it. It's just so bad it's good.
>>6363207
It contains these weird rubber abominations reminiscent of the cover illustrations. This is what is supposedly the Slowbro version.
>>6363207
holy shit, no
buy it, frame it, and hang it in a place of glory
>>6363208
jesus christ I jumped the gun in replying because I didn't think it could get more amazing
Please buy and share which sort of nightmarish deep dream pokemon abomination has chosen you
>>6363075
Flames on the legit one stick just fine, if you know how to put them on correctly
>>6363516
I have 2 official ones, and in both the holes in the flames are too small and do not fit over the wing spikes.
The rubbery plastic of the bootleg is honestly a huge improvement in that regard.
>>6363657
huh, guess you got 2 with qc issues?, both of my flame pices fit perfectly
>>6363208
jesus, is this a berserk reference or what
Large KO Mimikyu arrived, materials are nice, it's floppy, but true to the character.
>>6364452
I felt it was solidly worth the 30 bucks. The figure is really of the better bootlegs I've encoubtered.
Though I forgot to mention the stand is completely garbage, haha. All the pinned joints have 0 tension.
>>6364547
I see multiple listings aliexpress listings for the KO Charizard, which seller do you reccomend?
>>6337185
I never understood this line of thinking. Is it that fantasy creatures God didn't create exist in the series' world or something? Animal cruelty by making them fight? Do they think pokemon are literal demons?
>>6364715
>Is it that fantasy creatures God didn't create exist in the series' world or something? Animal cruelty by making them fight? Do they think pokemon are literal demons?
yes
>>6364715
>Do they think pokemon are literal demons?
Yes, because they're called monsters. It "promotes" evolution, as well.
It also has some magic elements which the crazy evangelicals don't like.
>>6336316
These are cute! Are they going to be for a limited time?
>>6364806
i think everything's a limited time in Build-a-bear. get it while you can or pay aftermarket
>>6364547
Do they make bootleg Blastoise?
Red btw
>>6366109
Damn I hate that I want this. I have to buy it so they make more. It does look better than I thought it would. What does it come with?
>>6366109
Hilda when?
And once again fuck MegaHouse
>>6366150
what is it with that? the monsters have been out for years, nearly a score really, but why do they still need to add the pokemon we already have and can still get?
>>6366160
That's a really great pose!
>>6366167
What Pokemon do you associate with Red? Other than those four, there's Snorlax, Lapras, and maybe Eevee.
>>6366109
>Figma
And into the trash it goes
>>6366173
Persian
Scyther maybe
>>6366150
Is this true?
do we know what the pikachu will look like?
>>6366317
There will be 2 separate Pikachus. One from PC and a winking one if you preorder from GSC.
Some Anon was asking for a shot of Hilda's ass cheeks recently. Happened to find this pic on my drive.
>>6366184
remember you're on /toy/, not /a/
>>6366769
what's the scale of this figure?
where can I preorder it?
>>6366769
Nice, I can never look at tepig the same again though...
>>6367173
you already missed out on Rosa
i just realized that with USUM coming out in November, that means the Pokémon Center plush releases will stay focused on Alola mons until at least mid-2018, which is nice. There's lots of popular pokemon like the Tapus, Ultra Beasts, and lots of base form mons that have yet to get plushes, so hopefully most of them do before we move on to gen 8 or DPPt remakes.
>>6367356
>DPPt remakes.
>>6367356
Ribombee plush when???
>>6367326
when was this? Holy shit I hope not.
>>6366769
Can someone confirm whether the upcoming figma FRLG Red is a PKM Center/GSC Online Store exclusive or is he gonna be up on regular import stores like HLJ and Amiami???
>>6367356
>DPPt remakes
Honestly do really need remakes though?
>>6368641
so far, nobody knows
>>6368641
Do you not know how to use a middle man service? You've got a couple of days to learn, in case GSC bites you in the ass with another exclusive.
>>6367356
I NEED a Kartana, Nihilego, and Celesteela plush. Maybe Guzlord and Xurkitree too. Figures would be nice too.
>>6368641
Regular stores will have him with Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur. GSC gets Pikachu as a bonus, Pokemon Center gets winking Pikachu.
>>6369732
>plush
get outta my office
>>6368645
Does any Pokemon game need to be made? What a stupid question.
>Go to Amiami
>See this
Neat.
http://ameblo.jp/figma/entry-12279014852.html
>>6370063
Where is all the hype at? He isn't sold out yet? Are people not as excited for this one as they were for the Nendoroid?
>>6371489
He's not gonna sell out from GSC or their partner shops. He's not up on Pokemon Center yet where he might will sell out, but not being exclusive there could mean he won't.
>>6371489
Been wondering that too. I think a lot of people are feeling a bit let down by him? He doesn't come with a lot of accessories, especially compared to how many came with the original nendo. I'll be getting him, in the hopes of encouraging more in the future. I think he'll look really cool next to all my D-Arts. I'd love a Gold with the Johto starters, that would be the start of a nice set…
You guys excited for the Lillie nendo this week? I think GSC will probably unveil new photos tomorrow, ahead of POs on Thursday. I think I'm gonna get the bonus with the Potion item, that sounds cool.
>>6371512
It looks like a solid Nendoroid, but I'm more excited for trainers from Gen 1, 2, and 3. Otherwise, I might pass.
I bought Cynthia just for the Garchomp, I might sell her since I'm not as invested in her.
>>6371524
>but I'm more excited for trainers from Gen 1, 2, and 3.
Oh me too. I didn't even play Sun&Moon haha. But I'm getting her anyways, because I guess beggars can't be choosers at this stage. Hoping Cosmog is a cutie.
>>6370063
Why the fuck can't we get the Pikachu in the states?
>>6371489
The nendos were closer to the in game sprites. At least thats why I was hyped for the nendo, but not this.
>>6371924
Because, as GSC have said in the past, the Pokemon Company forces them to make Poke products exclusive. You fuckers don't know how lucky you are. You get your own Pokemon Center and you're still fucking complaining.
>>6371945
not him but our pokemon center also gets lower quality product than jp
>>6371939
yeah me too. I prefer the nendos cause they look like in-game sprites. but a lot of people were shitting on them saying they should be figmas because of Sugimoris new anorexic designs.
>>6371945
How does us having a poke center solve anything? We still don't get shit.
>>6371945
>You get your own Pokemon Center and you're still fucking complaining
Pokemon Center used to be good, before it became nintendo world. These days it's all plushes, plushes, and like 3 figures. all nendo rereleases.
>>6371983
good thing i like plushes
after 5 months of waiting, my Mimikyu MonColles and charm arrived
>>6368911
Do you have any experience and recommendation? I'm getting Blue/Red classic Nendo PTSD on this
>>6372215
for Lillie? that Nendoroid is going to be available on all normal shops (Amiami, HLJ, NY, etc.)
>>6372046
That's a nice collection, all I have so far is this KO plush.
>>6372354
thanks, have the Banpresto plush and a few keychains on the way as well
the authentic plush is available on the Pokemon Center site if you're interested
>>6371924
Does anyone really care about the Pikachu? I mean, there are tons of Tomy Pikachu figures in various poses that you could use with him. For the same reason, I would have much rather preferred a bunch of items from the game than the three starters.
So how on Earth do I get the Figma Red with the regular Pikachu in Australia?
>>6337787
Finally Arcanine gets a decent plush. The pokecenter one's okay, but TOMY's is spot on! I hope more figures come out for him as well
>>6372376
I care because yeah, it's a figure that's supposed to come with it. Instead we're denied it for stupid reasons.
>>6371512
gsc should be releasing preorder pictures soooon.
>>6372682
buy it from Good Smile Company's site; if it's not available internationally, buy it from Amiami, HLJ, Nippon-Yasan, Play-Asia, or any other site that sells Japanese figures.
still can't buy it? use Tenso or Buyee to have a middleman purchase it
>>6372046
Mimikyu is cute.. CUTE!
So I came home to my dog fucking a hole into my favorite plush. Feels fucking bad.
>>6373666
what a bad roommate
Let me see if I'm correct in the preorders dates:
Lillie nendo - 15/6/2017 (tomorrow)
Lillie Kotobukiya - 17/6/2017
Is that right?
>>6373767
yes
>>6372372
Oh geez I think it sold out again. I can't find it on the site.
>>6374055
must have been a low stock
>>6374080
looks like were not getting this face
>>6374111
yeah, but I do like the ones they selected
preorder bonuses:
>GSC Shop
Potion w/extra hand
>Pokemon Center JP
Clefairy PokeDoll
>>6374405
i am irrationally upset about them splitting these super cute and versatile extras between two different preorder locations
i just want my figma red to have a million accessories, why can't goodsmile make that easy
>>6374529
Yeah me too. Id have been fine with her still being exclusive to Japan if she came with those items as standard. Otherwise they're just too expensive...
I will say that the amount of weeaboos throwing tantrums because they can't figure out how to preorder from GSC or the JP Pokemon Center, makes me laugh. They're stupid AND self-entitled.
>>6374573
who is throwing a tantrum
what's the best pikachu that would look in-scale with figma link, nendoroid kirby etc?
i'm thinking something 3" tall
>>6374974
it's the one where you fuck off back to Nintendo General
>>6375028
apologies for asking about pokemon in a pokemon thread
my mistake
>>6375032
discussing Pokemon is fine, wanting to bring in your Smash display is not
>>6375038
it was brought up to discuss scale. it was not a superfluous detail.
the 2.5" moncolle figures are too small and i wanted to know if there were larger options.
>only sun/moon era figure i've found is mega mawile and the pokemon with the pokeballs
Just end me dude I can't be this unlucky
>>6375042
you have an entire general dedicated to Smash displays, they'll know exactly what to search for
>>6375092
Next major release month is September. hope youre not missing Ash-Greninja.
also i still havent seen the eeveelution 3-packs yet. except on the official site store
>>6375336
I saw the Eeveelution 3 pack at Wal-Mart earlier, along with the 2nd stage starter packs at TRU
I'm still searching for the Mimikyu Clip-n-Carry. It's available online, but I'd rather get one in store to compare paint apps
new plushes revealed
>>6375353
Hnnngh, I need that Charjabug.
>>6375336
I didn't pick up rockruff with ball and im probably going to regret it. I can't believe I haven't found any of those 2 packs yet
>>6375583
I feel you. The sm 2 pcks only JUST started showing up on my turf.
I'll be dammned if I'm gonna pay for the pokeballs though
>>6375353
gonna be super awkward when they bring these to the states considering marshadow hasn't even been officially fuckin' distributed
That said, marshadow meowth and corsola are great and i need them
Pre ordered Red.
Sucks how far away the release is but it'll be worth it.
Would've liked a pokedex accessory to be honest.
>>6375353
>Marshadow
>Corsola
Fuck. I need these
>>6375336
Yoo, they're making an action koko? Fucking bought. When is that supposed to be releasing? Hope they do UB's and the other Tapu at some point.
Anyone wanna help me out? Been a while since I've actively looked into buying Pokemon stuff, usually just look at hlj and hope they sell what I want. What's the best places for plushies and figures? Like the shiny tapu koko plush for example.
>>6376408
Tomy just recently lost the licence, so unless they release those for japan, we might be out of luck
*pew*
I have a lot of plushes but i don't consider my self a plushfag
How do you guys display them if half of them cant stand like this one
>>6376749
plush aren't for display, they're for hugging and for putting into piles
>>6376781
Im a grown ass man child, i don got time for that
>>6376784
you dont have time for hugs? you need to make appointments for that?
Lillie Kotobukiya up on pokemonecenter
>>6377666
Anywhere to pre-order that ships to UK?
Nendoroid Lillie is up on the Pokemon Center, comes with Clefairy PokeDoll accessory
$49.99
Anybody here knowledgable about mirage plushies? I don't know shit about them, but I'd like to know more about this guy.
He's 19" tall, and came from the Spain branch of Play-by-Play. The tag has that "For amusement parks and traveling fairs only" notice on it. The tag on mine is faded to shit, but looks the same as this raichu's tag
http://sunyshore.com/raichu_yellowchu04.jpg
>>6378653
I remember that giant Pikachu, my dad could never win me one at Six Flags
>>6378700
Dang, how long ago was that? I won this guy with a raffle ticket i found on the floor in like...2004.
I didn't know some merch was only for prizes until I saw that label. I want to learn more about Play By Play. I can kinda see why their weird color variations and off model pokemon are collectors items now.
>>6378653
I think I won that Pikachu at a US Country Fair around Gen 2, so probably early 2000s. My brother won a Charmander that looked like hellspawn the same day. A quick google image search for it brings up pics of the Play-by-Play genwun starters if you're curious about their deformities.
>>6378842
*County fair, much different than Country fair. Basically I won at a carnival game like you did.
>>6378700
early 2000s, maybe 2002?
>>6378730
btw, they're still in production or at at least a similar line is
they had a giant Pikachu as a prize at Circus Circus maybe a year or two ago, and also had them at Six Flags in California maybe 3-4 years ago
