My Small But Recent Otaku Room Poster Collection As of 1/22/2024

Here is another of my collectibles, and this one is probably the last one of my photos that currently involves anime, manga, and video games. My poster collection has been stagnant, but, at least, some progress has been made recently. These are the posters that I have had for years now, and as you can see, some of the posters that are old, are in weary condition, and it doesn’t surprise me. I lament the condition, but, hey, the more something looks old and weary, the more it symbolizes that I have had something for so long now. And it’s amazing to see that even after all these years, it’s still with me. I look forward to collecting more when I can. Also, my favorite poster is definitely the Bakuman, Pokémon ORAS, Re Zero, MHA, and JJK posters.

My Small And Recent Anime and manga Keychain Collection as of 1/16/2024

Here are some of my anime and manga keychains that I own. These keychains were the ones that I got from Akibento. At the time when they were in buisness, they would always have keychains packed inside their boxes, and they look really great. Now, of course, the only ones that didn’t come from the Akibento boxes are the Koro-Sensei and Silica keychains. They look really adorable, and I love their design, and the fact they came with some bookmarkers was extremely useful. Of all the keychains, Koro-Sensei is, no doubt, my favorite. Hopefully I can some more in the future. Also, don’t mind my atrocious photoshoot. For some reason, it just looks so below in quality.

Recent Revival of My TCG Collection Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokémon, Bakugan, Magic: The Gathering, + Todoki Cards 1/15/2024

A few months ago, I made an article about all of my toys & games collection that I owned and displayed with the photos I took. Now, I want to give an update on how they look like, but with better quality and camera position. However, unlike my previous article which was all about toys & games, this time, I want to show you the collection I have with my TCGs, such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokémon, Bakugan, and Magic: The Gathering. My card collecting went into a pretty long drought, and between 2014-2023 (excluding Bakugan in 2019), I went 9 years without collecting any dedicated TCG cards. Finally, in 2023, that forever changed with the purchase of a Pokémon card, and an MTG card, which would be followed by new sets that came along the way. In fact, the last time I ever owned Pokémon cards, was in the year 2006. Ouch… That was a LONG time. As for MTG, this was my first time ever purchasing an MTG card, and now, I am only getting into magic, and I can’t wait to fully try it out this year. Accompanied by Yu-Gi-Oh!, and more along the way, let’s just say that I hope 2024 will turn out to be a magical year for TCG, and toys & games in general. Also, there is a Tokidoki card set that I got as a gift from Barnes and Noble back in 2016. It’s super cute. Also, don’t mind the little hair stuff that you see, it’s probably from my little adorable furballs LOL!

My Recent collection of Anime figurine Boxes + Gunpla Boxes

One of the things that I have always done being an otaku is to never throw away my boxes of anime figurines + Gunpla boxes as well. For me, anime boxes aren’t just boxes that store your figurines inside for practical use and safety, but they also exist to make your room or any place stand out with strong otaku aesthetic. The way how the boxes are designed and colored, is just vastly unique compared to other figurine boxes. If we want to talk about practical use, then the boxes serve as use for keeping figurines safe when needing to move somewhere else. Just seeing the boxes pilled up all together and being place in a room full of otaku merch everywhere, gives the room, boxes, and every other piece of merch, brought to life. It not only symbolizes what your room is, but it also displays the amount of anime figurines that you currently own. Overall, in my opinion, boxes of anime figures are a lovely collection to keep, and shouldn’t be thrown away. They are nicely designed, extremely useful for transportation, and hold an important meaning for rooms with otaku design. Soon, I will be making an article on the art of anime figurine boxes.

Also, if you guessed it, my favorite box is the Konomi Yuzuhara box from To Heart 2 that was released back in 2005. Her box, and her figure, are overall just well-designed for something that was 19 years ago. Soon, I will be making an article about her figurine, and my story with encounter her back at the Ocala Comicon as well. Stay tuned!

Pikachu Plushies

ピカチュ!Another one of my plushies. Like the Mudkip plush, the Pikachu plushies can be considered one of the old guards of my plush collection. I have had these plushies since I was little, and it’s hard to believe that to this day, they are still with me. Also, the silly Froakie plush, haha.
