At last...!
It's been a while since I posted an update on my Marshall collection, huh? (Then again, it's been a while since I posted anything that's not just a Daily Marshall...) Truth be told, there's not a whole lot out there now that I don't own... at least, merch released in the USA, anyway. There are still many (and I mean, MANY) things available overseas, but shipping's often so crazy high, so I have to be careful with what I purchase. I usually have to wait for a good deal to pop up...
...Such is the case with this one! For any new followers, know that Marshall's Ultimate Fire Gear is my #1 favorite outfit of his, and when FuRyu (a Japanese company) made a plush doll based on that, I was super determined to get one. It took... quite some time, to say the least, but a good deal finally popped up on Ebay. $24, with free shipping! Believe it or not, that's the best deal I've seen for one of these!
At last, it's finally in my collection. :)
I gotta say, it's pretty cute! Arguably a lot better than most of the plush dolls that get released here in the USA. The build quality seems quite nice, too. I don't know much about FuRyu, but going by this, I'd say they make some fine products.
His pup pack is just a printed-on graphic, which is a bit of a bummer. Surprisingly, the same can't be said about the paw pads, which use a shinier material compared to what's around it. Usually, the ones sold in the USA just print those on as well and call it a day. lol
And a close-up of the helmet, because why not. A little bent, but hey, this thing made a journey from Japan over to the USA, so I'm just glad it looks as good as it does! The whole thing is still in great condition, otherwise! Now, I... just have to find a spot for it on one of my shelves. That's a task all on its own. lol
That's all for now! Yeah, only one item this time. No doubt the season 11 Fire Rescue toys will pop up at some point this year, and I certainly plan to add all or most of those to my collection. I'm... going to have a ton of fun trying to find spots for those, too. 😅
