Toy Escapades

A place to appreciate plushies, figurines, and other toy-like things!

October has arrived!

This is a Makeship plushie of an albino Styracosaurus dinosaur from the video game Paleo Pines; their official name is Boo. They are suitably spooky for the season!

This is an outdoor picture I took of the Zorua and Hisuian Zorua plush keychains from the Parallel Pairs line at the US Pokémon Center. Unlike their Japanese counterparts, they don’t have magnets to stick them together securely. I really like the expressions on these two! Unovan Zorua seems like the more outgoing, self-assured, and comedic of the two, while Hisuian Zorua seems to be more responsible, polite, and introverted.

Happy National Unicorn Day!

This is an old Douglas white unicorn plush from my collection. They have a string of flowers stitched around their neck and a few strands of iridescent hair in their mane and tail.

Here’s another blast from the past for Mario Day!

These are two separate fast-food toys. The Yoshi figure is from Taco Bell in 1997, and the Mario figure is from Wendy’s in 2002.

Mario can be posed to sit on Yoshi’s saddle. Despite coming from different toy sets, it looks like they were meant to be posed this way; for years these two stood on my desk in this pose. Now I usually display them standing next to each other on a shelf.

Here’s a Wing Cap Mario plushie from 1997.

Mario’s taking off to go on a fun adventure!
