Hey, Flute_Warrior,
Can you tell what issue that article is from? This annoys me because I know I have more stuff.
This is just my plushes.
I won most of these plushes from Japanese game centers in 2002. Almost everything else I bought or won when I lived in Japan from 2003-2005.
Here's one of my storage containers.
All of my stored plushes on the bed.
Here are some of the oldest plushes I own. They're from Dragon Quest V and are 15 years old. I found them at a toy store in Nagoya and bought the whole set for fairly cheap.
A slime backpack and the picture frames.
Slime cushions.
Some more cushions and other slimes.
Hoimi (Healer) Slimes
A horde of teeny slimes.
Here's the slime pyramid disassembled.
Now some of the non-slimes.
Here's some more from around the house.
The silver slime that looks like a crystal slime was never sold or in game centers in Japan. I'm pretty sure it's a factory prototype or something. I got it off ebay from someone in Hong Kong or China.
Lastly, here are the Christmas Slimes. With them are Christmas Taiko drums (from Taiko no Tatsujin). Neither make any sense.
This should be every Dragon Quest plush I own. It would take a lot more ambition for me to get pictures of everything I have related to Dragon Quest. Let's just say that Japan is a bad place to have your first good job and disposable income.
