Lots to Unbox

(Received 11/04/2023, opened 26/05/2023, posted 16/07/2023)

Working through my parcel backlog. I really love to get parcels and save them for a rainy day.. and then keep saving them... but I'm finally working through these! Today we've got a couple of bigs ones.

Inside the boxes is a lot of bubble wrap!

One of those big swathes held these two! Two plush in a cheap lot. I've considered collecting both of these guys and I really love this Banpresto Nickit plush, so this was mostly an impulse purchase.

Inside these little cardboard boxes are sets of stickers called "ポケモンバトルピースコレクション" or "Pokemon Battle Piece Collection". As I understand it these are little sets of stickers that come from a gacha machine. These chatots are a bit warped, but nothing that some flattening won't fix.

This tiny guy is a repainted Scale World Starly. Unfortunately I've lost the listing to give credit to the artist! :( But he's repainted to look shiny! I missed a repaint by a professional artist called kikuryo626, but this one popped up by a self-proclaimed amateur, and I couldn't resist grabbing him.

A little box...! Google translates claims this says "thank you very much. If you have another chance Thank you for your support."

Another repainted Scale World figure, this time it's Pidgey. The artist behind this one is by the aforementioned artist, kikuryo626.

A couple of game handbooks! These are the usual for me - they showed up cheap, and in really good condition. Colosseum is my favourite Pokemon game of all, so I really wanted it. Fun little tidbit, I impulse bought them at night and my phone was on black & white mode, and I didn't see them again until they arrived. The colour of the Colosseum guide was a shock to say the least!

The Colosseum one even came with its obi - you should know by now that that's very exciting for me!!

That was parcel #1 done, so now onto #2!

Another little box with a thank you note - you can guess what that means!

kikuryo626 painted another Starly! Despite having one from the other artist, I really wanted this one too, so I just went for it. They're both really lovely, but you can tell an airbrush was used on this one; the paint job is super smooth.
