Inu's Collector Archive

You can check out my YouTube Channel here, which gives an in depth analysis on merchandise and its history, as well as showcases various sets/merchandise. There's not much now, but I hope to produce more videos in the future: @inucollectorarchive" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@inucollectora…

A bit more organizing. Some things are a WIP and are subject to change, so right now I'm just seeing what should go where first and then I'll clean it up later

Most of it is the same, but some things have been added or rearranged. I have plans to add more shelves in the near future, as only maybe about 40% - 50% of it is actually on display. Also, here's a better look at two of the shelves in the corners

Approximately 5 days ago, I officially moved out of the old storage unit and moved into a bigger unit. I'm not ready to show the full space just yet, but I took some pics of the shelves.

@tmlol0 @LinxinB It's on some set 2 and 1st release phone holders iirc. I've seen an MJ zombie with that tush tag

@GCollectio53697 @LinxinB Never seen that tush tag before wth

As many of you know, I'm in the middle of moving from one storage unit to another, bigger unit. So, if you've been wondering what happened to the daily posts, this is why. You can see how it's coming together.

@tmlol0 @LinxinB I was considering trading it, but I like that both of them have different tush tags, and one of them has the "xi yue (n_n)" tush tag. They're also seemingly slightly different from each other, mostly small quality differences. I'll think about it tho

@GCollectio53697 @LinxinB Slide me a pin jia phone holder kernel 🙏

I also plan for this space to be used to display my other collectibles, which should be possible, but I can't make any promises

Toysite Donkey Kong plush with banana and a pair of Super Mario 64 DS plush toys. I believe I have a full set of the Mario 64 DS plush, but I'll have to find the rest eventually. I know I have a Goomba with the Wario hat, which was one of my first ever Mario plush

@tmlol0 @Jazzicks Yeah it got so bad, I basically had to stop using YJA altogether. A lot of prices would become just as expensive as eBay. It's still very useful for finding rare merch, but the competition made it so tough. I'm not sure if it's still like that now

@GCollectio53697 @Jazzicks Definitely I’ve used YJA a decent amount of times to see some insane bidders i remember a plush I wanted in auction went from $5 to $80 in less than a day with 6 days left of the bid

Here are some Mario merchandise: Banpresto Mario Party plush set, Sun Arrow Yoshis with Baby Yoshi, Super Mario World clock with a ? Block Amiibo carrying case, and lastly this set of German Mario plushies

@healr821 I see, I'm not too familiar with the flagship store, or it's various changes over the years. I'll probably look into it, when I get the chance

@GCollectio53697 ive seen them before. i think they were on an old version of flagship store's homepage

I have this Plants vs Zombies 2 cabinet with its original tag. I don't have much info on this, other than with what I assume is a promotional gift from Talkweb Games, and whatever goodies that were meant to be left inside are now gone

@tmlol0 @Jazzicks I kind of got lucky that certain items that weren't on YJA would end up on eBay instead, which is how I completed certain sets. I remember completing the Yoshi's Safari set for under $500 on a whim. But, competition was a lot smaller back then

@tmlol0 @Jazzicks Nice, at the time Xianyu wasn't really considered an option, but it was a niche option if you happened to know Chinese proxy services. A lot of the rare stuff I got was on YJA, and it was actually not so bad when I started to collect, but it got a lot harder over time

@healr821 It's weird lol. I'm not sure if I've seen that art of Wall-nut and Sunflower in those costumes either, but I'm sure that's probably been used for other stuff before

@GCollectio53697 why is there a faceless ball cactus lol

@tmlol0 @Jazzicks Actually, that's only half true. I forgot that two of the Sun Arrow Yoshis were bought off of China only a couple years ago, Baby Yoshi was bought on YJA the year prior. The German plushies were bought on eBay, but not too long ago (2024 iirc)

@tmlol0 @Jazzicks I got most of these from Yahoo Japan Auctions and eBay a long time ago

When I received the box, all of the supplies were strewn about, so I had to open it up and fix it. I ended up nicking the back's graphic a little bit by peeling off the tape, which kind of sucks. I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of the back, but it's not too bad

Plants vs Zombies 2 stationary set.

A Bub does exist in this set, but I haven't come across it yet

A set of Taito plush toys by Brownie. I'm pretty sure I have a fuzzy Bob to go with the fuzzy Bub plush, but I couldn't find it. I also got this really obscure Bob plush that I thought was unreleased until I found one on a whim.
