Ever since I was a little kid, I've always loved plushies. Teddy bears, puppets, stuffed animals, you name it! I would give them names, talk to them and... Uh... Make them talk to me... I'm a very imaginative kid, to put it lightly.
Plushies are also one of the most essential things in the otaku world. Many would kill to have these cute, soft, huggable versions of their favourite characters. Myself included... Okay, I probably wouldn't kill, but you know what I mean. Here, I'll show you some of my favourite (and ones that I was able to carry to this one spot from my bed) plushies.
Luka and MEIKO! It's nice to see MEIKO get plushified before Luka... But I definitely need a MEIKO figma and Nendoroid to complete the collection! Come on Max Factory and GSC... I'm waiting for my MEIKOs!
Apparently it's Yui's birthday on November 27th ^^; Oops! But I did take this picture on the 27th... Here she is as a part of the Bonkler group including Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga and Fuko "Hitode Desu" Ibuki.
Here are some of the smaller ones (from left to right): Grunty (Puchiguso), Puchiko, Pyocola Analogue III, Polar Bear Rei, Kireihana, the dog from Harvest Moon, Winry Rockbell, Rafra and Yumi.
Puchiko is my favourite! She's definitely the cutest! Hokke-Mirin, the cat in her arm is a separate purchase. She is somewhat my conscience. She's almost like her anime rendition where she's got a somewhat mean streak, but she's like my voice of reason, like telling me to sleep when it's already 4:30 am... She is one of my favourites, so she's somewhat worn out, specifically her left eye... I wish there's a way to fix that =/
Kireihana is one of my favourite Pokemon and probably one of the first anime-related plushie I ever bought. I couldn't resist how cute she looks! The Harvest Moon dog is one of my newer plushies. I got that one when I bought Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life for the Game Boy Advance.
This is Rafra, a ferret from Infinite Ryvius. I watched that show by accident when I was trying to watch Jungle wa Itsumo Hare nochi Guu but copied the wrong file instead... However, I did enjoy the first 2 episodes enough that I bought the DVD box from Bandai which had this Rafra plushie included.
I still haven't opened this Rei yet... Her head's a bit too big to put anywhere probably ^^;
So why am I posting my plushies? Well that's because I'm incorporating my plushies into
The Melancholy of Saber Lily 4koma :P This was planned for a while in my head as a continuation of
Saber Lily and Mikuru arc. I apologize for some of the quality of the photos... I had bad lighting for some of the photos...
Hmm... What is Saber Lily saying that Mikuru is covering up by her yelling? And no, I'm not going to explain why Mikuru has a giant co... ferret for a ride.
Umm... Yeah, just to explain, that's supposed to be me who's suggesting the dolphin ride ^^; I suppose if you don't know what the dolphin is about... It's an inside joke at
dannychoo.com where we replace a certain appendage with the word "dolphin", lol.
These dolphin plushies are bought from Daiso at $2 each. I was only going to get one, but I liked both colours too much ^_^ They don't sell them anymore at the local Daiso, so I'm glad i got them.
This was the fastest title I ever came up with! I immediately laughed at "Grunty Style" considering what's happening in the comic! This has been happening in my mind over and over. Finally glad to finally put it down on file. Yumi's position of her hands just look perfect for this ^^; "Buhi" is the noise that a Grunty makes. I used to play .hack where they make this sound after every sentence they say. And yes, Grunties speak...
Here's another unopened plushie... But what kind of plushie is it?? :3 Whatever it is... It will be in the future 4koma ;)
That's it... Now close the door! I'm gonna be waxing the dolphin...
