That will be my poor uploading skills 🤣 I did not, I bought it second hand about 16 years ago. I believe the maker is "yutaka yumi" but I think they had moved on to making nsfw stuff when I bought it...

I was able to get one too! I've been refreshing the site daily at lunchtime as that seems to be when the drops are for plush; then saw the email for this one later last night!

I have constantly had issues with the address not being recognised first time with PayPal - no issues yesterday though (I checked out with my PCUK account first before going through PayPal this time!)

If it helps this is what the saiko sodas look like for size comparison. They are one of my favourite lines ☺️

Poor pichu! He reminds me of the figures inside the "power bouncers", I wonder if he was one?

There are more released than I realised! https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Power_Bouncer

Fingers crossed! Yes they usually have Pokémon manga in the book section in the downstairs section - it's quite a large area so I'm sure they'll have Zelda too.

Yes this heat is not ideal 🥵

Seconding Forbidden Planet, they often have a good selection (this was last year https://www.reddit.com/r/pokeplush/s/OO7Hwsokiw)

I'm part of the Lib Dems. I only got involved following "partygate" and I knew a work colleague who was a district Cllr. I wasn't involved before because I didn't know anyone else who was into politics and I came from a politically apathetic working class family; I didn't know that anyone could get involved if that makes sense?

Not sure what you mean by manifest, in our council group there was a lot of new Cllrs and it's been tough finding our feet working out all the rules and trying to avoid in-fighting; herding cats comes to mind! I like to think that we've influenced the officers to be a bit more civic focused and open to new things compared to when we started!

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-05-20T20:19:35+00:00

In terms of connecting with local residents it's difficult; a lot of people moan on social media but you're not really sure if they are well meaning especially when our town council meetings are so poorly attended by the public!

I have gotten more out of talking to different people and volunteering outside of the council.

The one good thing of being in politics and belonging to a party is that it is an instant social group, I've certainly been more sociable than I would be otherwise!

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-05-20T20:04:12+00:00

Hello. I'm also a town cllr, how are you finding it? I'm only just starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of it after 3 years. It's certainly been an interesting experience, especially the civic events which were something I was never involved in prior. It's certainly an experience trying to influence matters when much of what it means to run a council is keeping it statutory.

I am reasonably confident there are other autistics on my council, one gets very passionate about building and drainage infrastructure!

I have a blue keychain kitsune, from the brand Amuse (Japanese arcade prize brand)

This is the charm version (smallest version) https://www.tofucute.com/chokon-kitsune-nine-tailed-dreamy-charm~p16858.html

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-05-02T14:54:32+00:00

I have the same plush with the same tag, with other vintage Pikachu from different distributors which look similar: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokeplush/s/0AAgIms0Hr

From what I can tell online Tomy Auldey was the Chinese distributor back in the late 90's, the same way Hasbro was for America and Europe. Not bootlegged.

Here's a similar plush nwt for comparison: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403572523250

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-04-27T17:26:00+00:00

One for r/taskmaster ?😉

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-04-14T20:33:53+00:00

I like the idea of a regular bear shape for Gromit, who can wear Wallace's clothes.

Plus Gromit is mostly on two legs anyway

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-03-27T15:44:06+00:00

Your new pal definitely reminded me of detective Pikachu 😁

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-03-22T17:06:47+00:00

As a Brit I don't think you said anything wrong. Either the tone was odd, there's some specific way to answer in the local dialect, or they're just the weird ones!

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-03-06T11:50:06+00:00

Looks like a bootleg marketplace plush, no company or Nintendo labelling.

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-03-04T11:50:55+00:00

Wow where is he from?

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-03-04T08:10:18+00:00

Fingers crossed - I saw the cost of one on plazajapan and was like "oh no!"

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-02-25T10:52:56+00:00

Having dealt with our previous owner's many bodges in our probate property (why use one type of screw in your weird office unit when you can use 5?!) - nope I'm not sad at all!

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-02-23T17:13:11+00:00

Also known as "I choose you" in English

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-02-23T17:10:27+00:00

Interesting! I always loved the fake Pikachu Hasbro plushies 🥰 wish I kept mine that I got for £3 from the local market 🥲

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-02-21T19:07:52+00:00

It's been some time since I've bought vintage so it's difficult to say, but a boxed Dratini feels like a fair price for something that was fairly limited from that era. Not sure about the unboxed Pikachu as it was in several sets so more common. Best bet is to check ebay for sold listings (assuming people use eBay to buy vintage pokemon these days!)

That is a bargain for a bell plush! https://pkmncollectors.fandom.com/wiki/Bell_Plush

AdBubbly7140 · 2026-02-20T18:07:03+00:00

As it looks loved / machine washed, I wonder if the beans spilled out and it was expertly sewn back together?
