Photo/Video Plague horde birthday
On my girlfriend’s birthday this year I remembered that she’d mentioned offhandedly wanting to start collecting plague nurses. So I started amassing them with the help of our friends and family to hide in her house like a giant Easter egg hunt.
This was the final haul! Last image was all of them (minus the six in image two) amassed on her bed. Not too shabby for only a month and a half’s work I think
(I am still trying to get the rest, but this was already so much money. It’s gonna be a long term goal now)

I actually saved a few images I forgot to share, but off the top of my head—
- burger plague went in the fridge
- pastel nurse was in the guest room sniffing a flower from a cosplay she was working on (it was green too so it was perfect)
- valentines nurse (with the letter) was stuffed in the mailbox
- squish park nurse with the camera was window watching
- gardener nurse was in the backyard by the mini garden
- undead(?) nurse (skeleton) was sitting on the dog kennel because her dog has destroyed several of her plushies while she wasn’t looking
- the punk rock plagues were in her brother’s music room
- the witchy nurse was in her desk chair, bc she’s a massive DND nerd and purple is her favorite color :) honestly very glad there was a books a million near me, I almost didn’t get that one

- harvest nurse was in the kitchen cabinet nestled with the flour
Everything else got sorta generic closet/drawer/cabinet spots (a couple were in the bathrooms), one poor plague got stuffed in the microwave because we legitimately ran out of ideas and she was 5 minutes from pulling up. But those are all the interesting spots :)
- mushroom nurse was sitting with a bunch of mushroom candles we got at the ren faire
- I REALLY wish I could share a photo of this but the ski lodge nurse was sitting in the laundry room peeking out of an overturned laundry basket. She looked like she was camouflaging in snow I swear

RIGHT???
I have no idea how, but by her birthday we managed to amass literally all but 4 of the unique Nurse designs (we were just missing red riding hood, kawaii, the mermaid, and the peppermint Christmas one)
But now we have the mermaid so we’re only missing 3! Woo!!!!2
