In Which I Thrift More Bears


So here's another thrifting haul. Three 7-11 Paddington bears, a commemorative bear and a Neon Genesis Evangelion Shinji figure with no arms.

The pink coat bear, the commemorative bear and the Shinji figure cost me P60 altogether, while the two other bears cost me P36.


Here's one of the bears. I just need the coat and the hat. His green boots are missing, aw.


The second bear. I just need the coat and the hat as well. It says 'Amsterdam' on the back of his coat.


The third bear. It says 'Hong Kong China' at the back of his coat.


The floral shorts did not come with the outfit. However, at the thrift store, I found the shorts on its own in the toy bin, so I tried it on the bear. Then I bought the bear with the shorts still on and the seller didn't notice it.


A commemorative bear from Hong Kong. Not sure what this outfit is supposed to be. Is it for the postal office?


I couldn't remove the shorts without removing the bear's feet. So sad. I just hot glued the feet to the legs afterwards. It doesn't look pretty, but who cares.


So the Shinji figure I bought doesn't have arms. It's supposed to look like these:


It's not a big deal though. I thought I would just add replacement arms for it.
  

I have a small hollow and unarticulated doll from a different haul. I thought I can just cut off the arms and use it for Shinji.


I cut off the arms to size. Surprisingly one of the arms fits Shinji when I haven't even glued it yet.


Another shot but without the doll head.


Here is Shinji modelling his right replacement arm.


After the body transplant.


Looks good!


I tried on the outfit of the commemorative bear on some of my dolls. It looks hoochie on Aurora.


Aurora, stop putting your hands in your pants! Haha.


Here is Liv doll Sophie wearing it. Still a little hoochie and the hat just sits on her big head.


Another shot of Sophie.


Howleen (still with no arms) is swimming in the outfit. She's too thin for this.


This might be Licca's style? It still looks baggy on her though. Oh well. Someday I will have a doll that can wear these clothes.

Gashapon! [Part 1]

I like gashapon/gachapon/gacha gacha toys, but I just can't handle the suspense of not knowing what toy I'm going to get when I drop that coin in the machine and turn the knob to get the toy, so for the most part, I just look at the display.

I've only tried the machine twice in my life and it was quite nerve-wracking, LOL. Well, the second time was. The first time was just me trying the machine not expecting much. This is the one I got:


I don't know this character very well but I am pretty sure this is from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I like that it has its own stand and it's just compact but still very detailed.

One token here costs P60, so if it's a 100 yen toy, that's already P60. The conversion rate right now though is Y100 = P36.77. Yikes.
2 tokens worth P120 versus Y200 = P73.54
3 tokens worth P180 versus Y300 = P110.31
Can you see how expensive this is?

I'll talk about my anime figures in another post, but for now here's an image dump of some gashapons I've seen and to which I've paid attention.

One Piece:





Doraemon:





Hello Kitty (1 token! That rarely happens!):




Neon Genesis Evangelion (I want Asuka Langley, the orange-haired girl):




Sailor Moon (So cute! They are always sold out.):













Train cases / suitcases with stickers inside. I'm not sure if it is of 1/6th scale:





 Cheerleaders. This is not from the Koppu no Fuchiko line. I believe this is from a different manufacturer:


Big Hero 6's Baymax inflatable toys:




Monsters Inc. figures and cheerleaders:




Disney princesses figures and Toy Story soda bottles:



Yu Yu Hakusho / Ghost Fighter. I regret not getting any of these:





More gashapon photos soon!
