Comfy chair looks comfy but not for me. Laying back that far would drive my Meniere's bonkers. Sadly because I've only just started having back problems since I entered my 70s.

Santa (meaning me) got me the Weird Barbie I wanted for my movie doll collection. Now if they would just make a John Cena Ken Merman, I'd be thrilled LOL!

I only collected the one's I liked. Considered getting Allen too but he sold out too quickly and wasn't reissued.

I've got ankylosing spondylitis with a broken tail bone and while laying down, for a while, is okay, I do best in a sitting position. Standing still is the worst and my distance tops out at a bit over a mile without proper rest and my balance is hit or miss. Those chairs look nice but as short as I am I'd be afraid of the angles being off, or having a hard time getting out of it.

Outside of the head for the Barbie Me I don't want any more until I can get a handle on who I still have.

Ordered a couple of old Hasbro Pokemon beanbag plushes. My first-ever Pokemon plush (in fact, first Pokemon-anything ever) was their little beanbag Pikachu, and I'd get most of the common ones over the next couple years--but none of the Gen II beanbags. Heck, I never even saw them in the wild, I think--either my area never got any to begin with, or only in limited quantities that all got snapped up.

Well, two eBay sellers had Marill and Elekid on offer for cheap, so I grabbed 'em. As a bonus, neither of these are Pokemon I already have plushes of.

I'm hoping to expand this sub-collection by at least a few more members. Charizard and Psyduck should be easy pickings; the rest... not so much.

Very cool. I still have my first Pokemon plush. It was an Oddish, and I got it in a Happy Meal toy.

Nice! I have some mini-plushes from the '99 Burger King promo floating around, too (gonna have to look around to see if one was Oddish).

Hasbro Pokeplush update: I, uh, may have ordered a few more.

As of this post, besides Elekid (Marill arrived a few days ago), I'm waiting on Charizard, Psyduck, Gengar, Lugia, Bulbasaur, and Arbok. The first two were indeed easy pickings, as was Bulbasaur. Gengar, I had to poke around on Mercari US for (it's uncommon, so a little more expensive); Arbok cost the most of this lot at $35 total after a discount.

Now, Lugia normally can't be found for cheap, being one of the rarer ones and all. A seller in Canada put one up for $22 USD (after shipping); this Lugia may be visibly faded and a bit worn, but when your only other option is $50+... Of course, coming from Canada, it's gonna take a while to arrive, unless eBay's estimate is totally off.

Not sure where I'm gonna go from here; everyone else is on the $$$ side, when you can even find them.

Just impulse bought a vintage Baby William mini beans elephant baby doll. It's even still got its matchbox and its bib. Wanted it as part of my quest to forgive the past and hopefully someday let go of it the rest, as one of my younger brothers had a very similar doll when I was young.

You know those Magic Mixies Pixie Supreme dolls that look really pretty, but cost $60 because they come with an annoying talking box? They went on a low enough sale that I could rationalize buying one, and OMG, she's so freaking beautiful. Dress is cheap, talking box gives me the creeps, but pretty doll, SO WORTH IT. I'll get another one when it goes on a good sale again. I need to have two of them and make them soulmates.

The one surprise baby thing I didn't have, which I looked at online but put off getting because I was going to a box store today and came home with a second and third yellow buggy set >(

Then I found a Jackie Kennedy collector doll case at a junk store. It's all wood and has the drawers and hangers with it. Now to see who will fit in to it.
