Today, on Monday, October 19th, the RockLove x Pokémon family is getting a tad bigger. Along with restocking pieces from previous releases, three Pokémon are being transformed into necklaces. Ready to belt out a sleep-inducing tune is Jigglypuff in polished rose gold, then there’s Psyduck in sterling silver trying to…
Previously, Sanei brought the Kirby Poyopoyo Cushions to the world with three familiar Dream Land friends. Of course you’d start with Kirby, and Waddle Dee and Meta Knight make perfect sense too. Now two more are on the way, though they’re from off Pop Star and a little more self…
It’s once again time for Japan’s major merchandise manufacturers to reveal their upcoming line-ups, and this year is quite the bonanza for video game fans. Good Smile is perhaps the company with the most relevant reveals, and you can even walk around a 3D in-browser showroom to check out its…
