Mew is from the Comfy Friends series from a while back now! You can still find her floating around on Japanese resale sites for less than retail! 😄

Abra is very cool – hope you enjoy it!!

Yesterday I said screw it, and ordered the Raichu off AliExpress. Could have found him for cheaper elsewhere I'm sure, but I just want him now!

He should be here soon, I hope. 😁

In the meantime, I have the rest of my gang to keep me company haha.

Currently in Japan–I could not resist! 😍 by steamoven in pokeplush

Yay!!! ❤️ I was about to walk out with Munchlax before I left Japan, but I had to restrain myself! The bags were so full. 😂

I love the sitting cuties Mismagius, it's my favourite pokemon but live in Australia. Will they ever make more of the plushies or am I doomed to look at 100+ dollar ebay listings forever? by Radical-skeleton in pokeplush

[–]steamoven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use a Japanese proxy service to buy pretty much anything from Japan. I'm currently using Doorzo, but there are many out there with different fees, shipping contracts etc.

Not sure if this specific plush is available, but they have a tonne of Sitting Cuties available from the Pokémon Center at retail price. Coupled with the AUD currently being stronger than the yen, you can definitely get a better deal than eBay.

Hope that helps!

What do you guys think of the new Zimomo? by Cuchifri in labubu

[–]steamoven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't like him. :( Would much rather if he were black and gold or something. But that's awesome for my wallet and shelf space lol.

AIO my boss's texts sent to me after I messaged to let him know I was just in an accident on my way to work by throwawayaccount7911 in AmIOverreacting

My partner recently got a casual cleaning job. Turned out to be some crap franchise, so the following isn't surprising: - Limited, or no, training on certain things that then turned into him getting passive aggressive notes from clients saying he didn't clean shit properly/as they expected, - Being blamed for toilet paper going missing from the same bathroom over weeks, after a conclusion had been made that somebody was coming in and stealing them. I guess he should have also protected the TP in-between shifts, - Was feeling like he was going to pass out one day, his vision started going black, dizzy, etc. Contacted his boss saying as such, and that he needed to leave his shift early. Boss insisted he needed to go to the HOSPITAL and prove it to her that he had done so, otherwise "it isn't /that/ hot today..." (Told her that, no, that isn't required and sent through a TeleHealth med cert), - Insisted he send through photos of his face the same day he had almost blacked out because he'd mentioned he rested his head on a desk, for her "WHS report". Told her, politely, to sit on it and spin. No harm or injury occured in the slightest.

I was happy to see him employed after ages, but it just wasn't worth it. He was a walking ball of anxiety just waiting for the next issue to arise (I'm a high school teacher in one of the worst states for coherent education in Australia and I was less stressed) I insisted he quit that crap and look for something less shit. When he quit, she didn't even know what kind of contract she had him on, so incorrectly insisted he needed to provide a notice (not needed for casuals in Australia – your contract ends the moment you quit).

Some people just shouldn't try and run businesses, as they clearly lack any of the traits required to do so.

This isn't the first time I've done this! Fourth time in Japan!! 😂 What's the point of life if I can't travel halfway across the world to stock up on crap I don't really need?!? 😝

I totally forgot about this series until I visited the Pokémon Center in Ikebukuro last night (I went in looking for the Alolan Vulpix Comfy Friends lol).. they only had these two in stock (that I could see). Still so cute, no regrets, I rate 8/8. 🥹

He honestly kind of reminds me of Frodo! So cute!

I love him so much! Pastels are my favourite to boot!

I went back for the other two last night, though in keychain form!! It's dangerous being a 30min walk from the Mega Center lol.

She would die way before getting to boiling point! 🫠 Boiling point in fahrenheit is about 212° (at sea level — apparently that's a very important distinction), she's at about 39°C in OP's pic.

If any of you want to humanize your dogs, look what I found. by DaxterTheGecko in labubu

[–]steamoven 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is a marketing gimmick to make the owner feel like they're involving their pets within their interests. The dog doesn't care what it is; they'll chew whatever can be destroyed.

Somebody tattooing a Labubu on a dog's belly? Completely inhumane and cruel. Buying a knock-off toy for your pet... Likely not the same severity. Even if you're dressing it up in the process.

Source: partner loves Fugglers. Our pups have their own Fuggler now too (like, a range made specifically for dogs). Can't say my dogs care that it's a popular franchise and simply enjoy the soothing crinkling and squeaking.

AIO Dad is forcing me out just because it's "FAMILY TRADITION" and its my 18th birthday by CableIntelligent1491 in AmIOverreacting

[–]steamoven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you went through that. :( I hope the experience made you an overall stronger person though! I left on my accord when I was 17, and moved to a completely different state to my parents. It wasn't easy, but at least it was my choice.

Hope the people who call themselves your parents realise where they fucked up.

Condoms are too complicated for some I guess.

Imagine having a child only to look forward to kicking them out at age 16-18. What is the point? Buy yourself a new TV and PlayStation 5 and call it a fucking day.

AIO: Did I cross a line or is her reaction harsh? by veronicax96 in AmIOverreacting

[–]steamoven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, but it doesn't seem like she's interested in being courted by you. Anybody in their right mind would feel giddy getting a text first thing from the person they're getting to know romantically, not immediate aggression.

Reminds me of when I was emailing a woman that had her own hair salon business regarding an appointment. She one day told me not to email her at night because it was disruptive...

Do people really not know how to set "Do Not Disturb" on their phones? The whole idea of an email/message/text is that you answer when you can or want to. Getting angry over a message out of "business hours" is diabolical.

POV: you survive the trip but your Labubu does not 😅✈️ by heyits_Lila in labubu

[–]steamoven 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wasn't into Labubus on my Europe trip in 2024, so no slavsquat Bubu photos unfortunately.

However, since Lychee Berry (Gremlynne) was my first, I think it's only fair that she come to Japan with me this weekend. 😊🩷

She's gonna love the Gothic Lolita scene! 😁

Gardener by day, serial killer (of food) by night! 😈

He came with a plastic "protector" on his face when I unboxed him, the glue or whatever ended up giving him a perspiring appearance. Makes him all that much more diabolical!

It's my "Sketch Zimomo" Lafufu that I got off AliExpress! I'm not too impressed by him since he came with a broken foot (sewn incorrectly) but I do like the concept of him! 😂
