Squishies
I made these using a soft plastic called plastisol! FusionX Fishing sells packs of the stuff in hundreds of colors, and you can also customize your order. These are "medium soft". I then painted them with fabric paint. The mold was made with 2-part silicone mold putty and the Kyodo Kangaskhan model.

Full Color Keshimon
I made a mold of the Keshimon figure and used it to make some Sculpey copies! These itty bitty Kangaskhan are painted with Citadel brand paints, the kind you paint tabletop game miniatures with. They look much nicer in person where you can't scrutinize their little, blobby flaws.

Mini Safari Zone Diorama
This little project is actually the reason I made the "Full Color Keshimon"! A tiny little safari zone tucked safely inside the 1996 Mini Gameboy toy! Neither the main portion of the diorama nor the sky are permanently affixed inside, though, in case I need to take it all back out. My local game shop has a shelf of diorama supplies for stuff like decorating tabletop miniatures or Warhammer/war game tables and battlefields and the regular patrons are welcome to use them. I had a lot of fun putting this together!

Pokémon Duel Mini Figure
Pokémon Duel was a mobile app game based on the old Trading Figure game. Duel's servers are shut down in October 2019, but some wonderful folks preserved the game's assets, one of which I had 3D printed, then I painted it! The base of this mini is 25mm, the size of a Medium creature in games like D&D and Pathfinder.

Baby Kangaskhan Plush
This baby Kangaskhan was created by YukaminaCrafts on Etsy. It's about 8 inches tall and made of minky. Very soft and cute!

Baby Kangaskhan Plush
This baby Kangaskhan was hand-sewn by myself using a sewing pattern from the Patreon of artist Akira Originz! I just made the head a little bigger, and painted the eyes because I don't have an embroidery machine. The majority of the body is minky, the claws are a thin cotton fabric, and the eyes are stiff, black felt. This pattern is very cute, and so huggable! The arms are stitched on to the outside, so it's easy to pose the arms how you like as you build it. I wanted mine to look like she is asking to be picked up for hugs!

Parent/Child Promo Custom
The Kangaskhan Parent/Child Promo card was a prize card in the Parent/Child Mega Battle tournament held in Japan in May of 1998. Today it is one of the rarest TCG cards. Something like three have changed hands in the past decade, and on the rare occasion one is sold, it sells for over hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Needless to say, I will never own one of these for real, but for Christmas in 2022, a friend of mine gifted me this beautiful metal proxy of the card made by AcademGames. |
"Pokémon Challenge Gen 1" Button
This design is by artist Oliver Hamlin. It's part of a series where he drew a Pokémon once a day, every day, until he had drawn each one from the first two generations. You can purchase the designs on stickers, buttons, and prints at his Etsy shop!

Safari Zone Patch
This adorable embroidered patch by Chimeran Art is based on the Kanto Safari Zone's logo as seen in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! The logo shows up on the uniforms of Safari Zone employees, including the back of the Warden's coat. I remember seeing the uniform in the games and wishing I could own some clothing with the design, so I was very excited to find this patch on Etsy! You can find them on the artist's website as well. The back of it is velcro, which I think is pretty cool!

Trading Card Binder
I carefully dissected a cheap 4-pocket UltraPro binder and created a new custom design for the cover, based on this UltraPro design. I store my flats in here!

These framed displays feature prints from a Game Boy Printer that I purchased from the Game Boy Print Shop on Etsy. I had bought them years ago but wasn't sure how to display them for a long time. I was concerned with the longevity and preservation of these prints, because the Game Boy printer uses thermal paper, which fades over time when it gets warm, so I'd been storing them in an envelope in a cold, dark closet. In the end I had some UV-resistant glass cut at an art framing shop to fit some small frames. These frames don't directly face any windows, so I'm hoping it'll work in the long term. The first frame features a Kangaskhan printed from the Game Boy version of the TCG, next to the real-life version of it. The second frame has Kangaskhan's Pokédex entries from Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal, next to a TCG full-art alter of the Kangaskhan from Fusion Strike, by Joypoki on Etsy.
