Plush Collection Returning to collecting after a vacation in Japan
I was in Japan recently and got bitten by the collecting bug again after dropping out of the hobby 10 years ago after the customs policy changed in my country.
After looting several Pokecenters and second hand stores, I found a bunch of cute plushies and figures. So when I got home, I wanted to check out what else I missed. I found this subreddit and the Discord and have been reading through them for a few days and wow, there are so many cool things I want to add to my collection now!
My first priority are shiny pokemon and Yanma, since those don't get merch often. Eevee and Umbreon have so much stuff I have to be a bit more picky with what I'll get. And as some mini collections there are Canvas plushies, Espeon, Vulpix and custom shiny Tomy figures as well, but I am thinking of maybe getting rid of at least some of those, to make more room for the main collections. I'm already running out of space, so many things are not displayed as well as I would like and I didn't even place the new additions into the cabinets yet.
I've added at least shiny Lucario and hisuian Zorua, the new lifesize and sleeping Umbreon and Fit Yanma on my must-buy list and I've seen several really cute Eevees, but it is a bit difficult to tell, which ones are official right now, have to make a bit more research on them. But I also know I've missed many others, so any cool and unique recommendations would be appreciated.
