Rawr.

Random photos of some Leos I haven't shown until now:

The Barbywa zodiac doll I was compelled to hunt down after Miss Moon received hers. I found this little guy on Mercari, and the sole drawback to him is the lack of a tail on his lion suit.

ICY Fortune Days zodiac Leo I got a while back. I love her, even if her expression isn't very Leo-like. Then again, I'm about the un-Leo-est Leo you could expect, so... I feel you, girl.

She photographs super well, especially with the camera on my new phone.

ToyMuchInformation! - Antu, Brute?

 

Another Antu has hit the towers, kids.  Much like with the Silk Road Souvenir series, I can't really be disappointed no matter who's inside this box.  This is the Bestiary of All Spirits.  Again, we have 'taurs, but this time they're not exactly equine.

ToyMuchInformation! - A Little Ending

 It's Penny's Box time again.  Turns out, when I don't look to see what they're up to for a couple of years, they put out several new series.  This one in particular is "Spirit of the Book", which seems to be an offshoot of the "Cute Beast Magic Series".  I was tempted by the latter, but I see a hamster there in the lineup, and when there is a hamster in blind box series, I almost always get the hamster.  I wanted to avoid another hamster in the collection, so I happened to come across the Spirit of the Book dolls on Amazon.  Odd that they were on Amazon when the box clearly states "KikaGoods Exclusive" (and also "Winter Limiyed Edition" =p), but I'll take it.  I preordered something else off KikaGoods to make up for it.

Google Translate is a real jokester; it keeps referring to poor Antu as a eucalyptus plant.  For the love of god, please check out the poem and character blurb translations on the website links above.  They're actually pretty good.

ToyMuchInformation - Oh, Suite!

Now, you might be thinking to yourself (you know who you are - the one crawler bot who religiously scrapes my blog.  You never comment, but I know you're out there and you care) "Oh dear, is Setsu dead?  Did she just give up?"

Nope.  I just have a bad habit of falling off of the social internet every few years.  I've still been here, doing things.  Changed jobs again, getting back into shape, disgustingly healthy in spite of everything, and very jazzed to be having my first vacation since 2018 this coming October.

But enough about me.  We're here to talk about toys, because it's a Tuesday, so let's get to that.
