Finally I’ve caught a moment to unpack and photograph some of my treasures from Tokyo :)
1. Papapanda from Studio Ghibli’s Panda Kopanda (aka Panda Go Panda). “Good bamboo!”
2. Totoro in a tree, from Studio Ghibli’s My Neighbour Totoro. It is hollow so Totoro can pop in and out!
3. A bear from The Bear’s School which as far as I know are a series of Japanese picture books. I just liked his yellow onesie-pyjamas with butt-flap, and slightly sour expression.
1. Sonny Angel! I have been admiring this guy online for years and was so pleased to find one for sale, especially as I only saw him in one shop. JSR is totally mystified as to the appeal of a nude baby in a mayonnaise bottle, but he has charmed me. If you loosen the lid he smells like baby powder, and his eyes wibble back and forth when shaken. Hee!
2. Playmobil “Crazy Cat Lady” set. That is probably not the official name. It comes with four cats!
3. San-X Mamegoma, the softest little seal (I wrote whale to start with, I am losing my mind!) you’ve ever touched.
1. Two tiny Rody figurines.
2. A green man. I am not sure who he is (can anyone help me out?) but there were lots of them in the Ghibli Museum. I’ve since removed the keychain part.
3. A tiny tin with a boar from Aranzi Aronzo.
4. Cow keychain, also from Aranzi Aronzo.
5. Kapibara with apple pool, from a blind box. I wanted the llama, but of course the chance is only 1/6. It is OK, I like this guy too!
6. Monkey enamel pin from Aranzi Aronzo, and Totoro enamel pin from the Ghibli Museum.
7. Pig in a watermelon costume, from a blind box. Again, I wanted the pig in a sheep costume, but I have no luck with blind boxes.
Stickers and stationery including Chi’s Sweet Home, Rilakkuma, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Aranzi Aronzo and the somewhat odd Hello Kitty & h.naoto collaboration.
Stickers including Kutusita Nyanko, Rilakkuma, Lilla spöket Laban, Moomintrolls and Kapibara.

I have a love affair with all things Totoro – too bad I couldn’t afford most of it on my trip there last year. This is such cute stuff!

I have that same exact Mamegoma plushie! He really is super soft, but he’s actually supposed to be a seal, not a whale. :]

@Suri ACK! How embarrassing, of course he is a seal, I must have had my mind on other things when writing this entry! I will fix it now *blush*

I love the Totoro tree plush! I want that really huge pillow of him that you can lay upon.

So much cute stuff! The pig is called ‘Piggle’ and he is the mascot character from the Monster Hunter series of video games (which without Piggle and the Felyne cat-people is a pretty serious game, but very fun.) The kappa eating chips is very cute as well.

@Kawa Oooh, thank you! Quite often I buy something because I like the design, it’s great to know ‘who’ they are – last time I was in Japan I got something I found out later was an electricity company mascot, hee :)
