I heart CHIBI ANIME! I THINK IT'S SOOO CUTE 4laugh !!! And I'm a guy so don't think its weird that I think somethings cute... I started collecting anime plushies and chibi keychains in the summer of 2005 when my friend's dad bought a Sesshoumaru plushie for me at Suncoast, and when I bought an Edward Elric from FMA Keychain from Hot Topic that summer for my birthday. At the end of that summer I bought a Chibi InuYasha Plushie-keychain from Hot Topic and with Christmas money that year I bought a little Grunty Plushie from my local Comic-shop, Planet Comics ^_^ ! From there my collecting continued! This thread is for posting about your Chibi stuff and your love for Chibi Anime! Please post pics of your collections and also feel free to post about handmade anime plushies mrgreen exclaim
NOW IT'S BEEN 8 YEARS SINCE I CREATED THIS THREAD ^_^!! YAY!!
From HeroesCon 2006 I got two new additions to my collection!!! I got the Ed Angry Face Pillow and a Ichigo from BLEACH plushie!!!
EDIT: I found out that my Ichigo is counterfeit but I'm still not sure about my Ed pillow ^^; . My suggestion is if you plan to buy a plushie from a convention, look at it to be sure it's not fake. If you don't know much about the difference between counterfeit and authentic plushies, please read some of the info. I provided in the "Hong Kong Counterfeits" section on this page.
I FINALLY got my newest plushie in the mail ^_^!!! He's a 8" Naruto Plushie I bought on eBay xd !!!
EDIT: This plushie, I found out, is definitely coutnerfeit and I strongly advise that NOBODY order plushies from eBay unless you're CERTAIN what you're getting isn't a counterfeit crying !!!
ANOTHER ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION HAS ARRIVED whee !!! Edo-Kun ^_^!!! I ordered him from the Hobby Hunters store on eBay. Though... I kinda got ripped off because I believe he's supposed to be bigger but I STILL LOVE HIM whee heart exclaim
OMG blaugh heart exclaim exclaim MY AUTHENTIC UFOCATCHER BANPRESTO JAPAN RASENGAN NARUTO IS FINALLY HERE 4laugh exclaim exclaim He's 8" tall and was $10 (plus $6 shipping) on www.ufocatcher.com 3nodding exclaim I just love his eyes and the shiny Rasengan spear he holds in his hand heart ! Naruto-Kun is DEFINITELY one of my favorite and one of my most collectible plushies whee exclaim But I'm hoping he'll be joined by many other collectible UFOs in the future whee exclaim exclaim
YAY XD! I FINALLY HAVE MY CAMPING RYOMA ECHIZEN NOW!! He's 8" tall and was on sale on UFOCatcher for only $6 ^_^!! (plus $6 shipping) My favorite things about my Ryoma-kun are his adorable shoes and his little backpack! I also love the tag with the cast of The Prince of Tennis in this set of plushies all in chibi form! Now my Naruto-kun has a UFO pal!
KON HAS ARRIVED! He's so adorabley soft and cuddly! I just love his facial expression and his little headphones. I also really love his little brown button on his tummy and the fluff on the end of his tail that feels furry. He's 8" tall and he was $14.99 in all (shipping + money for the MO included) from PowerAnime. He's a plushie that's always ready to rock out! Kon-kun is the third UFOCatcher in my collection.
SHIPPUUDEN SAKURA-CHAN IS HERE! She's so small, but so kawaii! I really love her cute little facial expression and the way her arms are held out so it always looks like she wants a hug ^_^! It's great because this was one of the plushies (well, she's a mini-plushie swing keychain) on my wishlist xd exclaim Now I can mark one of the plushies off of it mrgreen exclaim Anyway, she's about 3.5" tall and was $12.94 in all on PowerAnime (shipping included + another $1.05 for the MO). Don't let my little Sakura's cuteness fool you though! She can definitely kick some a$$ when she needs to, and Naruto: Shippuuden proves that lol exclaim
FESTIVAL KAGURA-CHAN HAS ARRIVED ^_^! She's definitely one of my cutest anime plushies XD! I really love her cute facial expression, her pretty little kimono, and her Sadaharu Festival mask. She's about 5-6" tall, same size as my Edo-kun plushie, and was about $17 in all from ToysLogic (shipping + MO money included). Kagura's adorable, but just like my Sakura-chan, her character is very tough, and very strong XD!
YAY!! MY FIRST AUTHENTIC BANPRESTO DX UFOCATCHER, SERIES 2 DX ICHIGO KUROSAKI, IS HERE XD!!! He's so awesome, and is really a big milestone in my collection! I really love his shiny Zangetsu Shikai Zanpaku-to, his tough little facial expression, and how he's big enough to really hug XD! He's so soft... He's also the second plushie I've ordered that's on my "Wishlist" ^_^! He's about 9-10" tall, about the same size as my Sesshie, and was about $27 in all from PowerAnime (shipping + MO money included). Beware Hollows!!!
INU-YASHA-KUN AND HIGURASHI KAGOME-CHAN HAVE ARRIVED XD!!! I've wanted some UFOCatcher Inu-Yasha plushies basically since I first started collecting, and now I have two ^_^! The First Series Inu-Yasha plushie is one of the plushies on my "Wishlist" and now I can mark him off! Also, Kagome is so cute and I just can't have Inu-Yasha without Kagome, of course! These plushies are also the first plushies in my collection that are both from the same set, and the first two that actually came directly from Japan 3nodding . I just love Inu-Yasha's cute facial expression, soft hair, and the "Beads of Subjugation" around his neck ^_^. I love Kagome's facial expression as well, and her cute little school uniform. Both plushies are about 8" tall and together they were about $33 from AnimeMate (shipping included, I used PayPal to order them). Each plushie is used, so they have minor flaws like Kagome's shoes are peeling, and Inu-Yasha's tag is bent, but they're in pretty good condition overall. Oh no, Kagome, Inu-Yasha is acting mean again! Better tell him to sit! Inu-Yasha exclaims, "WHAT?!". Kagome yells, "OSUWARI!!!"
At HeroesCon '08 I bought a TON of new stuff for my plushie and overall chibi collections! I bought five new plushies in all. None are plushies from my "Wishlist", but I still love them all! I bought Rasengan series Iruka-sensei plushie, a Light-up Mokona wearing a hat plushie, a GE Kenshin Himura plushie, a Festival Kon plushie, and a Tyre Dog Coin-purse Plushie! All of my plushies came from the House of Anime except for Kenshin who came from a stand selling mostly comics and a few toys. I also got MANY new capsule-figures and keychains that I'll post about in the "Keychains and Other Chibi figures" on this page!
MY GE HARUNO SAKURA-CHAN HAS ARRIVED ^_^!! She's just SO ADORABLE, and the fourth plushie I've bought that was on my "Wishlist"! She's about 8-9" tall, and my favorite things about her are her adorable facial expression, pose, and her headband. I ordered her from the Anime Stuff Store on eBay (Not a good place to order from unless you know the difference between authentic and bootlegged plushies ^^; ...). She was about $17 in all (shipping + MO money included). This plushie is very special to me because she's a regular sized plushie of my favorite Naruto character that I could actually afford. SHE IS NOW THE LEADER OF MY SAKURA HARUNO ARMY XD!!!
My Banpresto Series 3 Kondo Isao has arrived ^_^!! He's so cute! This plushie is another milestone in my collection to because he's my 20th authentic anime plushie XD! He's also the fifth plushie I've bought that was on my "Wishilist". He's about 6" tall, and my favorite things about Isao-kun are his facial expression, hair, and his outfit. I ordered him from Power Anime, along with a new addition to my Gashapon capsule-swing collection, Lucky Star Series 2 Shiraishi Minoru. The order was just a little over $25 with shipping and MO money included. Isao-kun is my second favorite Gintama character after Kagura-chan, so I really love him! Though he may look a little goofy, he's the captain of the Shinsengumi, and he can kick some serious a** XD!!
ORIHIME-CHAN FINALLY ARRIVED ^_^!! She's so adorable, and cuddly! She was the plushie I most wanted on my "Wishlist", and she's the sixth plushie that I've bought that was on my "Wishlist". She's around 8" tall, and my favorite things about her are her cute little dress, her hair, and her eyes. She's right at home in my collection next to my DX Ichigo plushie, who she calls "Kurosaki-kun" XD. I ordered her from Right Stuf with Christmas money, and she was a little over $15 in all with shipping included. Inoue Orihime is kind, smart, and brave. Her Shun Shun Rika are her power, and this power along with her other traits truly makes her the goddess of BLEACH!
My little Gaia Kiki Kitty plushie-keychain has arrived ^_^! Another plushie I can mark off my "Wishlist"! She's also one of my first pieces of Gaia swag! She was $5 from the Gaia Online Store.
My Sketch-style Naruto Plushie-Keychain is finally here ^__^!! He's smaller then I expected him to be, about 3 inches, but he's still SO kawaii! Yet another plushie I can mark off my "Wishlist", and he's the first piece of Great Eastern Naruto Shippuden merchandise I have in my collection. I ordered him and the Bandai Hidan Capsule-Swing ((A new addition to my Chibi Gashapon collection, and the first Akatsuki member in my collection XD)) from Power Anime, and it was about $17.50 in all with shipping costs included. Fun Fact: This chibi-version of Naruto is featured in the first ending to Naruto Shippuden, "Nagareboshi ~SHOOTING STAR~" by Home Made KAZOKU ^_^.
My Banpresto Naruto-kun Mini-Plushie Cell Phone Strap Mascot is here! This little plushie is kind of like another milestone in my collection because he's my first plushie phone-strap, but I probably won't be ordering many more plushies like this because I'm kind of disatisfied with how he's made ^^; . Just his head is plush, and his body is basically cardboard. He's still adorable, though. I ordered him from Power Anime along with a new gashapon swing-figure (Ling Yao from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood). He was only $3.99 before shipping. I probably won't actually use him as a phone-strap, but he looks cute hanging on my wall near the rest of my chibi collection.
My Banpresto GinTama Series 3 Ginpachi-sensei (Gintoki Sakata) plushie has arrived! This is the third GinTama UFO Catcher plushie in my collection ^_^ . He's about 6" tall, and he's so soft and cuddly. Though I didn't put him on my "Wishlist," he's a plushie that I've been wanting. I ordered him from Power Anime for only $8.99, but this was the price before shipping, of course ^^; . (I also ordered a new Naruto Shippuden wallet from PowerAnime in this order) My favorite thing about this plushie is his outfit. Gintoki-kun is so cute, and also very sexy when he dresses-up as Ginpachi XD! Also, my InuYasha: The Final Act InuYasha and Kagome Gashapon Cell Phone Straps that I ordered from Anime Jungle are here!
MY BANPRESTO LUCKY STAR KONATA AND KAGAMI PLUSHIE-KEYCHIANS ARE HERE!!! Two more plushies I can mark off my "Wishlist" ^_^! Also, these plushies are definitely milestones in my collection because they're my first two Lucky Star plushies. I've been wanting some Lucky Star plushies FOREVER, and I'm SO HAPPY to finally have these in my collection! Each of them is about 3-4" tall, and they're both so cuddly whee . I ordered them from Anime Jungle, and they were $8.99 a piece (with shipping both cost me $24.53 ). I just love their cute facial expressions, especially Konata's winking-face, and their Winter sailor school uniforms. Kona-chan is the Otaku-girl of now, and Kagami-chan is such a tsundere. They're definitely an interesting pair!
MY BANPRESTO LUCKY STAR MIYUKI AND TSUKASA PLUSHIE-KEYCHAINS, AND MY GREAT EASTERN NARUTO SHIPPUDEN SAKURA PLUSHIE-KEYCHAIN HAVE ARRIVED XD!! This time I can mark THREE plushies off of my "Wishlist"! With the addition of Tsukasa-chan and Miyuki-chan, I now have almost the full first set of Lucky Star plushie-keychains Banpresto has released! Each of these plushie-keychains is about 3-4 inches of cuddliness, and all three of them came from Anime Jungle. Tsukasa-chan and Miyuki-chan were each $8.99 before shipping, and Sakura-chan was $5.99 before shipping (with shipping the order was $30.52). I love Tsukasa-chan and Miyuki-chan's adorable facial expressions, and their cute little Winter Sailor-fukus. My favorite thing about my little Sakura-chan is her winking-expression that makes her similar to my Kona-chan XD. This Sakura plushie-keychain is also what I consider "sketch-style," and she goes great with the Naruto "sketch-style" plushie-keychain I have. Tsukasa-chan is the soft-spoken, but strong-willed younger twin sister of Kagami... Miyuki-chan is very itelligent, but so clumsy; that's actually one of her good traits according to Konata, who would say she's "MOE INCARNATE!"... The other two members of the group of friends who go to Ryou-ou High School. These two are also a very unique pair!
MY FIRST TWO NENDOROIDS ARE HERE ^__^!! Guile-cosplay Kona-chan and Crying Hiyorin join my chibi family! They’re both Nendoroid-Petits made by Good Smile Company. Kona-chan is from the newest set which is a set of Lucky*Star x Street Fighter crossover figures, and Hiyorin is from the second set of Lucky*Star Nendoroid-Petits. They’re both so small, but so well-made, and SO adorable! They’re also a lot of fun to play with XD! I ordered them from Anime Sekai, and the order was $42.05 in all (including shipping). Both figures are about 10 cm tall. These are also the first items in my collection from my "Figure Wishlist" ^_^ . Konata looks like she’s ready to kick some BUTT in her Guile cosplay! And Hiyori seems to be sad about something… Maybe she’s just thinking dirty thoughts about Yutaka and Minami again, though XD!
My Ryu-cosplay Kagamin and Mikado-kun figures are here! Kagami is another Nendoroid-Petit from the GSC Lucky*Star x Street Fighter set, and is the second from this set in my collection, and Mikado is a MOVIC Voice Mascot traing-figure from the Durarara!! set. Two more adorable chibi figures to add to my collection, one of which is my third Nendoroid, who is also another figure on my "Wishlist"! Kagamin looks adorable in her Ryu-cosplay, and Mikado-kun says two phrases from the anime when you push the button on his stand ^_^ . He even came with a backdrop that's a photo of part of Ikebukuro. I ordered these two from Anime Sekai, and the order was about $35 in all (including shipping). Both figures are about 10 cm tall. Kagamin's ready to do a Hadouken, so watch out!! Mikado-kun may look like nothing special, but he just happens to be the leader of the DOLLARS! You don't want to mess with these two!
HERE AT LONG LAST! MY ICHIBAN-KUJI Lucky*Star x Macross Frontier Vajra-cosplay Kogami Akira-chan plushie <3! This plushie is a very special new addition to my collection for a few reasons... First of all, she's a very rare and limited edition Banpresto Ichiban-Kuji Lottery prize! Second, this is a plushie I originally pre-ordered from ToysLogic, but they never actually got her in stock =_= ... And, finally, she's not only a Lucky*Star collectible, but a Macross Frontier one, which is another AMAZING anime series ^_^ !! Not to mention she's extremely KAWAII XD! Anyway, I ordered her from Anime Jungle, and she was $12.99 before shipping. She's about 6-7" tall, and she's actually much bigger then I expected her to be. My favorite thing about her is her Vajra-hoodie, that is removable. Also, I love her pissed-off facial expression that is SO Akira! Though it doesn't look like she likes it very much, I love to cuddle her! Although, I need to be careful not to invoke the WRATH OF THE BEAST!
I should have posted about this sooner, but earlier this year I ordered the SEGA Lucky * Star Squirrel-cosplay Yutaka mini display mascot figure from PowerAnime. She is now a very cute addition to my chibi collection and Lucky * Star collection
For my birthday this year (2012), my best friend ordered me a GinTama gashapon swing-figure from Anime Jungle <3! They're Ginzabeth (Gintoki), Zurabeth (Katsura), and Gerobeth (Sakamoto) from the Bandai series based on the EPIC Renhou Arc.
APRIL 2013 UPDATE: Seven new additions to my collection have been made since the end of 2012/beginning of 2013! Here's a list of everything:
- Takara Tomy A.R.T.S Sket Dance Kid Tsubaki Sasuke Keychainj-Figure
- Takara Tomy A.R.T.S Beelzebub Kunieda Aoi Keychain-Figure
- Takara Tomy A.R.T.S K-ON! Fastfood Cashier Kotobuki Tsumugi Keychain-Figure
- BANDAI Lucky * Star Empress Kagami Princess Doll Figure
- BANDAI K-ON! Talking Ritsu i-Doll
- Chara-Ani Sword Art Online Yui Strap
- COSPAS Sword Art Online Kirito Mug
And that's everything so far this year!
MY Sword Art Online ASUNA NENDOROID HAS ARRIVED <3!!! She's my very first full-sized Nendoroid figure, and I'm VERY happy to have her in my collection! I pre-ordered her from PowerAnime for about $55 in all. I love how she comes with three different faces, each featuring an adorable expression, and her sword and SAO menu screen accessories!
MY Sword Art Online KIRITO NENDOROID HAS FINALLY ARRIVED <3!!! My second full-size Nendoroid, who just happens to be Asuna-chan's husband, essentially XD! He was pre-ordered from Cruncyroll's store for $54. Just like with Asuna, he came with plenty of accessories and extra body parts for all kinds of awesome poses! He even came with the rare Ragout Rabbit! He's adorable, a MASTER swordsmen, and the hero who cleared SAO, saving everyone from the "death game!"
My Poyopoyo pillow has arrived <333! This is actually the first piece of merchandise I've acquired from any of the short run-time anime I've watched on Crunchyroll (These series are usually based off 4-koma manga, and each episode is only 3-5 minutes long). I got him from one of CR's special "Deals of the Day," and he was only $10.99 (with $7 shipping)! He's so cuddly, even though the version I got is the one with the angry facial expression, so it looks like he doesn't like to be cuddled XD!
My Kamen Rider OOO Deformeister Petit figures have arrive <3!! These are my first pieces of Kamen Rider merchandise in my collection, and I'm very happy to own them! They're all very detailed little figures, and their stands even have lines from the show in Japanese on them! (I can't read them all, though, unfortunately...) My favorite out of the set is the Kamen Rider Birth figure, since he's my absolute favorite Rider <33! And the figures of Eiji, Ankh, and Gotou even came with little charms.... Eiji's is an underwear charm, Ankh came with an ice cream charm, and Gotou came with a Candroid charm XD! (These charms make sense if you've seen the show) Five of the figures from the set are mine, and the only five are for my best friend as a Christmas present this year (2013). I know he'll love the figures as much as I do since he's a HUGE Kamen Rider fan. The whole set was around $60, and I ordered it from the JapanHero store on Amazon. Eiji shouts, "HENSHIN!" *RAION! TORA! CHIITA!*
JANUARY 2014 UPDATE: Recently I have acquired a decent amount of new merchandise for my collection ^_^! For Christmas my brother gave me an SAO (Sword Art Online) Kirito Plushie, and I just received my Asuna plushie in the mail to go with him a few days ago. Also, last week I went to a store called Character World that's in the bigger mall in my area. This store sells a lot of counterfeit stuff, but they also sell some authentic Great Eastern anime merchandise. Here's a list of the chibi anime stuff I got:
-GE Inu x Boku SS Watanuki coin purse
-GE InuYasha Miroku figure keychain
-GE Durarara! Mikado PVC keychain
-GE Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Chuck necklace
-GE Sword Art Online Klein Pin set (One pin is on my 3DS XL case, and the other is on my bookbag, so these will not be in the pics of my collection)
Also I bought an awesome NARUTO: Shippuden 10th Anniversary wallet from the store, as well as a Kyuubi Chakra Mode Naurto t-shirt, and I bought a pack of SAO playing cards from Hot Topic!
MARCH 2014 UPDATE (Part 1): My Anime Sekai and Amazon orders have arrived!! I went a little overboard this time, and ended up spending over $100 on Anime Sekai XD... Here's a list of all I ordered:

- From Goods Goods Japan store on Amazon: SEGA Lucky * Star Lucky Kuji Saitama Ver. Prize-F Inori Hiiragi Figure and Saitama Ver. Misao Kusakabe
MARCH 2014 UPDATE (Part 3): Last, but not least!! From Amazon I ordered TWO Konata Izumi Nendoroids ^_^!! From the ACOT store on Amazon I bought the Chara-Ani AND Homepage Versions! I really love how each Nendoroid comes with a few of Kona-chan's signature faces, and they came with a Petit-Nendoroid of Akira Kogami (unpainted, but still adorable)! I was really surprised and super excited to find both of these being sold on Amazon at really good prices!! Including Kirito and Asuna I now have a total of 4 full-size Nendoroids!! Kona-chan screams, "MY DARLING, DARLING, FREEZE~!!"
APRIL 2014 UPDATE: In the last few weeks of March I ordered 3 more figures from the SEGA Lucky Kuji Lucky * Star New Years set from the same store on Amazon. I now have Kagami, Tsukasa, and Miyuki ^_^! I intend on buying the rest of figures in the set, as well.
BIRTHDAY UPDATE: For my birthday this year (2014), I received the last three figures I needed from the SEGA Lucky Kuji Lucky * Star New Years set on Amazon from my parents, friend (user bikingrhino), and brother! These were Yutaka, Minami, and Matsuri! So I now have the whole set (minus Konata and Ayano... Those two are sadly not available on Amazon or ANYWHERE else, from what I can tell crying ..) Also, as a sort of birthday gift to myself, I ordered the SEGA Tiger-cosplay Yui Mini Display Figure from Amazon ^_^ . She goes great with her little sister Yu-chan that I already have from the same set!/color]

I pre-ordered the set from ToysLogic, and the price was about $22 in all ((Money order and shipping costs included)). I thought I just ordered Konata, but I apparently ordered the whole set XD! I'm VERY HAPPY with this little mistake, though, especially since I think I got them at a great deal! They don't have them available individually on ToysLogic anyway. I know these aren't actually keychains, but they're close... They're cell-phone straps apparently. Also, from The House of Anime at HeroesCon '08 I got the alternate Brown-Ribbons Kagami.

Counterfeit Plushies =_=
Here's my Edward Elric Angry Face pillow. (Possible counterfeit...)
Here's my Ichigo Kurosaki plushie. (Counterfeit, but this is actually a pic of the authentic one from Banpresto. Mine is a bigger version of the authentic one that really is just as cute as the authentic version in my opinion, but still a bootleg.)

NOW IT'S BEEN 8 YEARS SINCE I CREATED THIS THREAD ^_^!! YAY!!
From HeroesCon 2006 I got two new additions to my collection!!! I got the Ed Angry Face Pillow and a Ichigo from BLEACH plushie!!!
EDIT: I found out that my Ichigo is counterfeit but I'm still not sure about my Ed pillow ^^; . My suggestion is if you plan to buy a plushie from a convention, look at it to be sure it's not fake. If you don't know much about the difference between counterfeit and authentic plushies, please read some of the info. I provided in the "Hong Kong Counterfeits" section on this page.
I FINALLY got my newest plushie in the mail ^_^!!! He's a 8" Naruto Plushie I bought on eBay xd !!!
EDIT: This plushie, I found out, is definitely coutnerfeit and I strongly advise that NOBODY order plushies from eBay unless you're CERTAIN what you're getting isn't a counterfeit crying !!!
ANOTHER ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION HAS ARRIVED whee !!! Edo-Kun ^_^!!! I ordered him from the Hobby Hunters store on eBay. Though... I kinda got ripped off because I believe he's supposed to be bigger but I STILL LOVE HIM whee heart exclaim
OMG blaugh heart exclaim exclaim MY AUTHENTIC UFOCATCHER BANPRESTO JAPAN RASENGAN NARUTO IS FINALLY HERE 4laugh exclaim exclaim He's 8" tall and was $10 (plus $6 shipping) on www.ufocatcher.com 3nodding exclaim I just love his eyes and the shiny Rasengan spear he holds in his hand heart ! Naruto-Kun is DEFINITELY one of my favorite and one of my most collectible plushies whee exclaim But I'm hoping he'll be joined by many other collectible UFOs in the future whee exclaim exclaim
YAY XD! I FINALLY HAVE MY CAMPING RYOMA ECHIZEN NOW!! He's 8" tall and was on sale on UFOCatcher for only $6 ^_^!! (plus $6 shipping) My favorite things about my Ryoma-kun are his adorable shoes and his little backpack! I also love the tag with the cast of The Prince of Tennis in this set of plushies all in chibi form! Now my Naruto-kun has a UFO pal!
KON HAS ARRIVED! He's so adorabley soft and cuddly! I just love his facial expression and his little headphones. I also really love his little brown button on his tummy and the fluff on the end of his tail that feels furry. He's 8" tall and he was $14.99 in all (shipping + money for the MO included) from PowerAnime. He's a plushie that's always ready to rock out! Kon-kun is the third UFOCatcher in my collection.
SHIPPUUDEN SAKURA-CHAN IS HERE! She's so small, but so kawaii! I really love her cute little facial expression and the way her arms are held out so it always looks like she wants a hug ^_^! It's great because this was one of the plushies (well, she's a mini-plushie swing keychain) on my wishlist xd exclaim Now I can mark one of the plushies off of it mrgreen exclaim Anyway, she's about 3.5" tall and was $12.94 in all on PowerAnime (shipping included + another $1.05 for the MO). Don't let my little Sakura's cuteness fool you though! She can definitely kick some a$$ when she needs to, and Naruto: Shippuuden proves that lol exclaim
FESTIVAL KAGURA-CHAN HAS ARRIVED ^_^! She's definitely one of my cutest anime plushies XD! I really love her cute facial expression, her pretty little kimono, and her Sadaharu Festival mask. She's about 5-6" tall, same size as my Edo-kun plushie, and was about $17 in all from ToysLogic (shipping + MO money included). Kagura's adorable, but just like my Sakura-chan, her character is very tough, and very strong XD!
YAY!! MY FIRST AUTHENTIC BANPRESTO DX UFOCATCHER, SERIES 2 DX ICHIGO KUROSAKI, IS HERE XD!!! He's so awesome, and is really a big milestone in my collection! I really love his shiny Zangetsu Shikai Zanpaku-to, his tough little facial expression, and how he's big enough to really hug XD! He's so soft... He's also the second plushie I've ordered that's on my "Wishlist" ^_^! He's about 9-10" tall, about the same size as my Sesshie, and was about $27 in all from PowerAnime (shipping + MO money included). Beware Hollows!!!
INU-YASHA-KUN AND HIGURASHI KAGOME-CHAN HAVE ARRIVED XD!!! I've wanted some UFOCatcher Inu-Yasha plushies basically since I first started collecting, and now I have two ^_^! The First Series Inu-Yasha plushie is one of the plushies on my "Wishlist" and now I can mark him off! Also, Kagome is so cute and I just can't have Inu-Yasha without Kagome, of course! These plushies are also the first plushies in my collection that are both from the same set, and the first two that actually came directly from Japan 3nodding . I just love Inu-Yasha's cute facial expression, soft hair, and the "Beads of Subjugation" around his neck ^_^. I love Kagome's facial expression as well, and her cute little school uniform. Both plushies are about 8" tall and together they were about $33 from AnimeMate (shipping included, I used PayPal to order them). Each plushie is used, so they have minor flaws like Kagome's shoes are peeling, and Inu-Yasha's tag is bent, but they're in pretty good condition overall. Oh no, Kagome, Inu-Yasha is acting mean again! Better tell him to sit! Inu-Yasha exclaims, "WHAT?!". Kagome yells, "OSUWARI!!!"
At HeroesCon '08 I bought a TON of new stuff for my plushie and overall chibi collections! I bought five new plushies in all. None are plushies from my "Wishlist", but I still love them all! I bought Rasengan series Iruka-sensei plushie, a Light-up Mokona wearing a hat plushie, a GE Kenshin Himura plushie, a Festival Kon plushie, and a Tyre Dog Coin-purse Plushie! All of my plushies came from the House of Anime except for Kenshin who came from a stand selling mostly comics and a few toys. I also got MANY new capsule-figures and keychains that I'll post about in the "Keychains and Other Chibi figures" on this page!
MY GE HARUNO SAKURA-CHAN HAS ARRIVED ^_^!! She's just SO ADORABLE, and the fourth plushie I've bought that was on my "Wishlist"! She's about 8-9" tall, and my favorite things about her are her adorable facial expression, pose, and her headband. I ordered her from the Anime Stuff Store on eBay (Not a good place to order from unless you know the difference between authentic and bootlegged plushies ^^; ...). She was about $17 in all (shipping + MO money included). This plushie is very special to me because she's a regular sized plushie of my favorite Naruto character that I could actually afford. SHE IS NOW THE LEADER OF MY SAKURA HARUNO ARMY XD!!!
My Banpresto Series 3 Kondo Isao has arrived ^_^!! He's so cute! This plushie is another milestone in my collection to because he's my 20th authentic anime plushie XD! He's also the fifth plushie I've bought that was on my "Wishilist". He's about 6" tall, and my favorite things about Isao-kun are his facial expression, hair, and his outfit. I ordered him from Power Anime, along with a new addition to my Gashapon capsule-swing collection, Lucky Star Series 2 Shiraishi Minoru. The order was just a little over $25 with shipping and MO money included. Isao-kun is my second favorite Gintama character after Kagura-chan, so I really love him! Though he may look a little goofy, he's the captain of the Shinsengumi, and he can kick some serious a** XD!!
ORIHIME-CHAN FINALLY ARRIVED ^_^!! She's so adorable, and cuddly! She was the plushie I most wanted on my "Wishlist", and she's the sixth plushie that I've bought that was on my "Wishlist". She's around 8" tall, and my favorite things about her are her cute little dress, her hair, and her eyes. She's right at home in my collection next to my DX Ichigo plushie, who she calls "Kurosaki-kun" XD. I ordered her from Right Stuf with Christmas money, and she was a little over $15 in all with shipping included. Inoue Orihime is kind, smart, and brave. Her Shun Shun Rika are her power, and this power along with her other traits truly makes her the goddess of BLEACH!
My little Gaia Kiki Kitty plushie-keychain has arrived ^_^! Another plushie I can mark off my "Wishlist"! She's also one of my first pieces of Gaia swag! She was $5 from the Gaia Online Store.
My Sketch-style Naruto Plushie-Keychain is finally here ^__^!! He's smaller then I expected him to be, about 3 inches, but he's still SO kawaii! Yet another plushie I can mark off my "Wishlist", and he's the first piece of Great Eastern Naruto Shippuden merchandise I have in my collection. I ordered him and the Bandai Hidan Capsule-Swing ((A new addition to my Chibi Gashapon collection, and the first Akatsuki member in my collection XD)) from Power Anime, and it was about $17.50 in all with shipping costs included. Fun Fact: This chibi-version of Naruto is featured in the first ending to Naruto Shippuden, "Nagareboshi ~SHOOTING STAR~" by Home Made KAZOKU ^_^.
My Banpresto Naruto-kun Mini-Plushie Cell Phone Strap Mascot is here! This little plushie is kind of like another milestone in my collection because he's my first plushie phone-strap, but I probably won't be ordering many more plushies like this because I'm kind of disatisfied with how he's made ^^; . Just his head is plush, and his body is basically cardboard. He's still adorable, though. I ordered him from Power Anime along with a new gashapon swing-figure (Ling Yao from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood). He was only $3.99 before shipping. I probably won't actually use him as a phone-strap, but he looks cute hanging on my wall near the rest of my chibi collection.
My Banpresto GinTama Series 3 Ginpachi-sensei (Gintoki Sakata) plushie has arrived! This is the third GinTama UFO Catcher plushie in my collection ^_^ . He's about 6" tall, and he's so soft and cuddly. Though I didn't put him on my "Wishlist," he's a plushie that I've been wanting. I ordered him from Power Anime for only $8.99, but this was the price before shipping, of course ^^; . (I also ordered a new Naruto Shippuden wallet from PowerAnime in this order) My favorite thing about this plushie is his outfit. Gintoki-kun is so cute, and also very sexy when he dresses-up as Ginpachi XD! Also, my InuYasha: The Final Act InuYasha and Kagome Gashapon Cell Phone Straps that I ordered from Anime Jungle are here!
MY BANPRESTO LUCKY STAR KONATA AND KAGAMI PLUSHIE-KEYCHIANS ARE HERE!!! Two more plushies I can mark off my "Wishlist" ^_^! Also, these plushies are definitely milestones in my collection because they're my first two Lucky Star plushies. I've been wanting some Lucky Star plushies FOREVER, and I'm SO HAPPY to finally have these in my collection! Each of them is about 3-4" tall, and they're both so cuddly whee . I ordered them from Anime Jungle, and they were $8.99 a piece (with shipping both cost me $24.53 ). I just love their cute facial expressions, especially Konata's winking-face, and their Winter sailor school uniforms. Kona-chan is the Otaku-girl of now, and Kagami-chan is such a tsundere. They're definitely an interesting pair!
MY BANPRESTO LUCKY STAR MIYUKI AND TSUKASA PLUSHIE-KEYCHAINS, AND MY GREAT EASTERN NARUTO SHIPPUDEN SAKURA PLUSHIE-KEYCHAIN HAVE ARRIVED XD!! This time I can mark THREE plushies off of my "Wishlist"! With the addition of Tsukasa-chan and Miyuki-chan, I now have almost the full first set of Lucky Star plushie-keychains Banpresto has released! Each of these plushie-keychains is about 3-4 inches of cuddliness, and all three of them came from Anime Jungle. Tsukasa-chan and Miyuki-chan were each $8.99 before shipping, and Sakura-chan was $5.99 before shipping (with shipping the order was $30.52). I love Tsukasa-chan and Miyuki-chan's adorable facial expressions, and their cute little Winter Sailor-fukus. My favorite thing about my little Sakura-chan is her winking-expression that makes her similar to my Kona-chan XD. This Sakura plushie-keychain is also what I consider "sketch-style," and she goes great with the Naruto "sketch-style" plushie-keychain I have. Tsukasa-chan is the soft-spoken, but strong-willed younger twin sister of Kagami... Miyuki-chan is very itelligent, but so clumsy; that's actually one of her good traits according to Konata, who would say she's "MOE INCARNATE!"... The other two members of the group of friends who go to Ryou-ou High School. These two are also a very unique pair!
MY FIRST TWO NENDOROIDS ARE HERE ^__^!! Guile-cosplay Kona-chan and Crying Hiyorin join my chibi family! They’re both Nendoroid-Petits made by Good Smile Company. Kona-chan is from the newest set which is a set of Lucky*Star x Street Fighter crossover figures, and Hiyorin is from the second set of Lucky*Star Nendoroid-Petits. They’re both so small, but so well-made, and SO adorable! They’re also a lot of fun to play with XD! I ordered them from Anime Sekai, and the order was $42.05 in all (including shipping). Both figures are about 10 cm tall. These are also the first items in my collection from my "Figure Wishlist" ^_^ . Konata looks like she’s ready to kick some BUTT in her Guile cosplay! And Hiyori seems to be sad about something… Maybe she’s just thinking dirty thoughts about Yutaka and Minami again, though XD!
My Ryu-cosplay Kagamin and Mikado-kun figures are here! Kagami is another Nendoroid-Petit from the GSC Lucky*Star x Street Fighter set, and is the second from this set in my collection, and Mikado is a MOVIC Voice Mascot traing-figure from the Durarara!! set. Two more adorable chibi figures to add to my collection, one of which is my third Nendoroid, who is also another figure on my "Wishlist"! Kagamin looks adorable in her Ryu-cosplay, and Mikado-kun says two phrases from the anime when you push the button on his stand ^_^ . He even came with a backdrop that's a photo of part of Ikebukuro. I ordered these two from Anime Sekai, and the order was about $35 in all (including shipping). Both figures are about 10 cm tall. Kagamin's ready to do a Hadouken, so watch out!! Mikado-kun may look like nothing special, but he just happens to be the leader of the DOLLARS! You don't want to mess with these two!
HERE AT LONG LAST! MY ICHIBAN-KUJI Lucky*Star x Macross Frontier Vajra-cosplay Kogami Akira-chan plushie <3! This plushie is a very special new addition to my collection for a few reasons... First of all, she's a very rare and limited edition Banpresto Ichiban-Kuji Lottery prize! Second, this is a plushie I originally pre-ordered from ToysLogic, but they never actually got her in stock =_= ... And, finally, she's not only a Lucky*Star collectible, but a Macross Frontier one, which is another AMAZING anime series ^_^ !! Not to mention she's extremely KAWAII XD! Anyway, I ordered her from Anime Jungle, and she was $12.99 before shipping. She's about 6-7" tall, and she's actually much bigger then I expected her to be. My favorite thing about her is her Vajra-hoodie, that is removable. Also, I love her pissed-off facial expression that is SO Akira! Though it doesn't look like she likes it very much, I love to cuddle her! Although, I need to be careful not to invoke the WRATH OF THE BEAST!
I should have posted about this sooner, but earlier this year I ordered the SEGA Lucky * Star Squirrel-cosplay Yutaka mini display mascot figure from PowerAnime. She is now a very cute addition to my chibi collection and Lucky * Star collection
For my birthday this year (2012), my best friend ordered me a GinTama gashapon swing-figure from Anime Jungle <3! They're Ginzabeth (Gintoki), Zurabeth (Katsura), and Gerobeth (Sakamoto) from the Bandai series based on the EPIC Renhou Arc.
APRIL 2013 UPDATE: Seven new additions to my collection have been made since the end of 2012/beginning of 2013! Here's a list of everything:
- Takara Tomy A.R.T.S Sket Dance Kid Tsubaki Sasuke Keychainj-Figure
- Takara Tomy A.R.T.S Beelzebub Kunieda Aoi Keychain-Figure
- Takara Tomy A.R.T.S K-ON! Fastfood Cashier Kotobuki Tsumugi Keychain-Figure
- BANDAI Lucky * Star Empress Kagami Princess Doll Figure
- BANDAI K-ON! Talking Ritsu i-Doll
- Chara-Ani Sword Art Online Yui Strap
- COSPAS Sword Art Online Kirito Mug
And that's everything so far this year!
MY Sword Art Online ASUNA NENDOROID HAS ARRIVED <3!!! She's my very first full-sized Nendoroid figure, and I'm VERY happy to have her in my collection! I pre-ordered her from PowerAnime for about $55 in all. I love how she comes with three different faces, each featuring an adorable expression, and her sword and SAO menu screen accessories!
MY Sword Art Online KIRITO NENDOROID HAS FINALLY ARRIVED <3!!! My second full-size Nendoroid, who just happens to be Asuna-chan's husband, essentially XD! He was pre-ordered from Cruncyroll's store for $54. Just like with Asuna, he came with plenty of accessories and extra body parts for all kinds of awesome poses! He even came with the rare Ragout Rabbit! He's adorable, a MASTER swordsmen, and the hero who cleared SAO, saving everyone from the "death game!"
My Poyopoyo pillow has arrived <333! This is actually the first piece of merchandise I've acquired from any of the short run-time anime I've watched on Crunchyroll (These series are usually based off 4-koma manga, and each episode is only 3-5 minutes long). I got him from one of CR's special "Deals of the Day," and he was only $10.99 (with $7 shipping)! He's so cuddly, even though the version I got is the one with the angry facial expression, so it looks like he doesn't like to be cuddled XD!
My Kamen Rider OOO Deformeister Petit figures have arrive <3!! These are my first pieces of Kamen Rider merchandise in my collection, and I'm very happy to own them! They're all very detailed little figures, and their stands even have lines from the show in Japanese on them! (I can't read them all, though, unfortunately...) My favorite out of the set is the Kamen Rider Birth figure, since he's my absolute favorite Rider <33! And the figures of Eiji, Ankh, and Gotou even came with little charms.... Eiji's is an underwear charm, Ankh came with an ice cream charm, and Gotou came with a Candroid charm XD! (These charms make sense if you've seen the show) Five of the figures from the set are mine, and the only five are for my best friend as a Christmas present this year (2013). I know he'll love the figures as much as I do since he's a HUGE Kamen Rider fan. The whole set was around $60, and I ordered it from the JapanHero store on Amazon. Eiji shouts, "HENSHIN!" *RAION! TORA! CHIITA!*
JANUARY 2014 UPDATE: Recently I have acquired a decent amount of new merchandise for my collection ^_^! For Christmas my brother gave me an SAO (Sword Art Online) Kirito Plushie, and I just received my Asuna plushie in the mail to go with him a few days ago. Also, last week I went to a store called Character World that's in the bigger mall in my area. This store sells a lot of counterfeit stuff, but they also sell some authentic Great Eastern anime merchandise. Here's a list of the chibi anime stuff I got:
-GE Inu x Boku SS Watanuki coin purse
-GE InuYasha Miroku figure keychain
-GE Durarara! Mikado PVC keychain
-GE Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Chuck necklace
-GE Sword Art Online Klein Pin set (One pin is on my 3DS XL case, and the other is on my bookbag, so these will not be in the pics of my collection)
Also I bought an awesome NARUTO: Shippuden 10th Anniversary wallet from the store, as well as a Kyuubi Chakra Mode Naurto t-shirt, and I bought a pack of SAO playing cards from Hot Topic!
MARCH 2014 UPDATE (Part 1): My Anime Sekai and Amazon orders have arrived!! I went a little overboard this time, and ended up spending over $100 on Anime Sekai XD... Here's a list of all I ordered:

MARCH 2014 UPDATE (Part 3): Last, but not least!! From Amazon I ordered TWO Konata Izumi Nendoroids ^_^!! From the ACOT store on Amazon I bought the Chara-Ani AND Homepage Versions! I really love how each Nendoroid comes with a few of Kona-chan's signature faces, and they came with a Petit-Nendoroid of Akira Kogami (unpainted, but still adorable)! I was really surprised and super excited to find both of these being sold on Amazon at really good prices!! Including Kirito and Asuna I now have a total of 4 full-size Nendoroids!! Kona-chan screams, "MY DARLING, DARLING, FREEZE~!!"
APRIL 2014 UPDATE: In the last few weeks of March I ordered 3 more figures from the SEGA Lucky Kuji Lucky * Star New Years set from the same store on Amazon. I now have Kagami, Tsukasa, and Miyuki ^_^! I intend on buying the rest of figures in the set, as well.

These were Yutaka, Minami, and Matsuri! So I now have the whole set (minus Konata and Ayano... Those two are sadly not available on Amazon or ANYWHERE else, from what I can tell crying ..)

MARCH 2014 UPDATE! HUGE update to my collection! (See the MARCH 2014 UPDATE sections for details) Featured in this latest update are my new Konata Nendoroids, Lucky * Star SEGA Lottery figures, and my FREE! Haruka plushie! Also I posted some more professional looking and better quality photos of parts of my collection taken by my new friend who works as a photographer.

This is my set of Lucky Star Swing-Figures ^__^! I have Kona-chan ((W/ Pink Floaty)), Kagami-chan ((W/ Red Hair-Ribbons)), Tsukasa-chan, and Miyuki-chan! I pre-ordered the set from ToysLogic, and the price was about $22 in all ((Money order and shipping costs included)). I thought I just ordered Konata, but I apparently ordered the whole set XD! I'm VERY HAPPY with this little mistake, though, especially since I think I got them at a great deal! They don't have them available individually on ToysLogic anyway. I know these aren't actually keychains, but they're close... They're cell-phone straps apparently. Also, from The House of Anime at HeroesCon '08 I got the alternate Brown-Ribbons Kagami.
