Spoils of the Hunt 2025

Since my last few Con hauls have been a bit smaller I decided to combine all four from this year's "Con Season" all into one along with a few "extras". (pay no mind to the black cat sitting the back )

Noelle Silva Funko Pop (Valkyrie Armor)

From Twin Cities Con '24 back in the fall. She's a Diamond Collection Pop, so her armor is al glittery and I just couldn't resist.

Diana Plush

From Anime Detour '25. This is the first descent-sized Plush I've seen that was fully intended to be Diana by actually including the collar, and not just a slight recoloring on a Luna plush. I thought she'd be a cute addition to my Chibi Moon cosplay and possibly even a prop for Cosplay Combat Chess in the future.

Espeon Plush

From the "Comfy Friends" collection. I had intended on getting this either at Milwaukee or Detour, but my go-to vendor wasn't at either, so this actually ended up part of a belated Birthday gift to myself. What kills me is that when I checked on the train ride TO Milwaukee it was in stock on the official Pokémon Center site, but when I checked back Monday after coming up short it was already sold out so I had to go elsewhere and wound up getting the Japanese version.

Cure Lilian Plush

From Anime Detour '25. I would have maybe preferred Wonderful or Friendy over Lillian, but I was still so excited to see ANY of the Pretty Cure plush that I had to scoop her up.

"Look Up" Sakura Figure

I've been seeing these figures advertised online for a while, but have only recently started actually seeing them show up at Cons in person. I told myself that if/when I move up to being an actual banker at work I would want a few of them for my future desk and Sakura was one of them because this particular outfit matches one of my cosplays.

Amy Rose' Fortune Card Deck

I had no idea they had even made these (is it thanks to IDW that the tarot card thing became a part of Amy's character again?) but my boyfriend spotted these at Barnes and Noble when we were on our annual Mall of America trip for my birthday and they ended up being my gift from him. The artwork is really beautiful and it even comes with a full instruction book, so I might play around with these a bit more and see if I can't try doing some of my own readings.

Digimon Adventure Zero-Two Blu Ray (Subtitled edition)

From Anime Milwaukee '25 via Discotek. I've had fan-subs saved on my computer for a while, but I am SO happy we are actually getting official uncensored subtitled releases. I have they Dub as well, of course, from a previous release, and I'm going to hold on to those for nostalgic purposes, but I wanted to collect these too.

Cure Idol and Cure Kyun-Kyun Dolls + Idol Heart Incom

The dolls I had hoped to find from a particular vendor at Milwaukee that has been good to me. Unfortunately he had apparently been cleaned out at an earlier Con, but I was at least able to get the Incom from him. (sadly, the box is a little dented, but it was the only on he had, so I snagged it right away) The dolls, on the other hand, actually came from the same site as the Espeon plush (Nin-Nin Games is a LIFESAVER!)

Winry Rockbell Nendoroid

From Detour '25. I already have Edward and Alphonse from their initial release (though, the "finale" versions of Ed and Alphonse are SEVERELY tempting, especially since Edward comes with his confession face) but now at last, Winry can join them!

Artists Alley Pins

I JUST updated my Ita Bag and now I have even more to add All are from Detour '25 and all are in honor of various cosplays and and favorite characters; Espeon, a Chibi Moon-inspired potion, Cardcaptor Sakura, Mew Ichigo and Musa.

Goh and Scorbunny Print

From Detour '25, Signed by Zeno Robinson. If I had been more on my game I'd have done my own tribute for him to sign that would have included a number of his roles, but I believe it was doing my Valentines tribute all through February that threw me off.

Serena and Ash Print

From Twin Cities Con '25 and signed by both Haven Paschall and Sarah Natochenny. They both really loved my Serena cosplay

SpongeBob Print

From Twin Cities Con '25 signed by Tom Kenny. Getting this one took pretty much our ENTIRE day Saturday, but I don't blame him, I more blame the way the staff handed the crowd (possibly failing to anticipate just how large it would be), the fact the autograph session was interrupted by a ViP photoshoot, and then those people joining and having a priority line immediately after (again, maybe they should have capped that beforehand) and the fact he was only there for Saturday because they were having some anniversary event at Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America on Sunday. It was still worth it, though, and I still had fun talking and laughing with the people in line while we waited.

Not Pictured

I just now realized there was a fuzzy Charmander plush I bought at Milwaukee I forgot to grab for the photo and there's also my Digimon poster that came with the DVD box that has season 1-4 that I got signed by Joshua Seth at Twin Cities Con (I have a number of signatures on that one, but I'll save showing it off until I have more). My friend and I were cosplaying as Kari and Wizardmon and he put us in a video with him.
