17.10.2024
If you look at the calendar you might notice that it isn’t Halloween yet. It most certainly isn’t Thanksgiving, and we aren’t close to the winter season.

No Two Pikachu Are Alike In This Awesome New Pokémon Plushie Line
27.4.2023
Normally, a new line of plushies from the already merchandised-to-death Pokémon industrial complex wouldn’t be that noteworthy. However, the Pokémon Center in Japan is selling a new line of plush toys called “My Pikachu” that do have one pretty remarkable characteristic. Unlike the vast majority...
