Tiny plastic monster wants! :D
(Updated 2018-07-29)
Well, I've been around for a few months and I reckon it's about time I got greedy. Time for a wants post! :D
Me and Collecting
So, I don't have themed collections per se. Sure, I usually want more of my favourite monsters, but it's always about whether or not an item makes them look especially cute/cool/interesting. I'm not the type of collector who needs everything made for her faves (good thing too, I'd be super broke!)
My favourite things are figures in unusual poses, rather than the stock pokedex type pose - so things like clipping figures, ippai figs, chess figs, TFG figs and whatnot. Also, I prefer things that are on-model - that is, proportioned like the pokémon is normally drawn. For example, while I love kid figures of cute mons like munchlax and charmander, I would pass on a kid-styled suicune or serperior.
Of course, if I do have a "main" it's munchlax, which is truly my totem. I'd love to be tagged on sales with munchlaxen.
I love the heck out of zukan figures. Not only are they (usually) great for being on-model, they're the right scale for use in D&D! Which is another of my truest loves ^.^ So, please feel free to tag me in on any zukan sales.
Things I'm not looking for: With occasional exceptions, I don't generally collect plushes (too big, too squishy). Also, I don't care for the various poncho/costume merchandise lines-I'm just not into critters wearing person clothes. Finally, as a rule I prefer a pokemon's standard colour scheme to any others-shiny colour palette, metallic/pearl/glitter variants, and clear variants don't really interest me.
OKAY, now on to the wants list!
Wants!
(All these pics are probably from the PKMNCollectors community somewhere. Tell me if one is yours and you are not happy with it being posted here!)
Dragonair and Lapras from the first set of Re-ment terrarium figures - I missed out on the preorders because these two in particular were very popular :\ Dragonair is top priority! What a gorgeous figure.
Leafeon 2008 Chupa Chups/Takara Tomy ARTS Chupa Surprise Figure. I can't get over the face on this little guy. LOOK HOW HAPPY HE IS. Absolutely precious. I know this figure is kind of at premium, so I'm living with the reality that I will probably never have one. But oh gosh I would like one. (Photo thanks to Squeeekz!)
Leafeon 2009 Takara Tomy Battle Mountain figure! I believe thiscomes from a playset, but I'd be just as happy to get the loose figure :) (Photo thanks to Squeeekz!)
Leafeon 2017 Takara Tomy Moncolle GET Series #13 Figure - I'm not normally super into chibi mons, but as usual leafeon is just the cutest. (Photo thanks to Squeeekz!)
Swimming milotic zukan. I'll probably never be able to afford this, but what the hey! So this is what it's like to have a grail, eh? >3>;
I don't care about feebas either. Sorry feebas! Or packaging, base, stand, any of that stuff. I just want this beautiful milotic in nice enough condition to admire ^^
Puttito eevees! I would very much like all eevos/both sets, though sylveon is always my lowest priority.
I really like puttito figures XD I would LOVE to get my hands on alola vulpix from this set, and I also think salandit is really cute and sassy.
Re-ment alola vulpix/Snowy terrarium.
Oyasumi alola vulpix gashapon! My attempts to get this via gacha tries crashed and burned, so I'd love to take one off somebody else's hands >3>;
My name is Fox, and I have been in love with ninetales since gen 1. I only just found out they did a charm set with both classic and Alola foxes, and I need it.
Sapporo Pokemon Centre alola vulpix + pikachu promo. I love every piece of art in this set and I have ALMOST a full set of the coasters! I still need the exclusive Sapporo coaster (5/5, the one with the flowers). Please let me know if you're selling it!
Whatever this munchlax keyring thing is. What a ridiculous thing! I love it.
This eevolution movie zukan set (thank for helping me ID, community friends!). Absolutely precious.
UPDATE: I have most of the set! Just looking for a few more pieces. I have acquired the tree and stone base segments, along with flareon, espeon, umbreon, eevee, leafeon and glaceon. I still need the vaporeon, jolteon, and the final base segment. (I don't care if I don't get sylveon, because I'm a heartless butt who thinks sylveon is totally overdesigned).
How did it take us so long to realise that substitute is POWER CUTE? I want pretty much all the subby merch, (except clothes because Japan does not care to make things in my size).
I have:
I have a vague fantasy of having a giant pile of the substitue figure as well - so if anybody has a stray subby figure which has lost its friend, I want it! XD

I have:
- The acrylic keychain set (thanks Kurouneko! :D), and the plusle/minun keychain.
- The figure pairs, which are just too cute for words.
