From the land of gashapon and minis comes...the mini gashapon machine!

( infinite recursiveness )

This has got to be one of the cutest Yujin mini sets we've seen for aye these many years.

( A cuppa )

The new bobblehead set from Toyful.

( collect 'em all )

Some mini bobbledy heads based on Leroy and Stitch, which was recently released in Japan. Look closely and you can see Reuben even has his name inscribed on his base--yay!!

( bibbidy bobbledy boo )

What's in the little eggie????

( gasha! )

Stitchi is on the terebi!

( Elvis! )

Difficult as it is to believe, Tikistitch was actually not buying stuff for the few weeks before Comic Con.

It's like going to a party. You know you shouldn't eat dinner. "There will be *FOOD* there!" And then you arrive. And it's soggy taco chips and a type of soda you don't like.

We honestly thought, what with the premiere of Stitch Has a Glitch, a Dizzney booth, and 32 acres of toy dealers, we'd actually find something upon which to exercise the credit card.



This is a Yujin Stitchie eraser.

It comes from this set....

( sorry, it's under the cut )

...was an IDIOT!!

What, pray, are we supposed to sweat, if not for the teeny tiny stuff?



( Disney gashapon yay!!! )

An odd new Yujin mini set...

( more minis more minis )

Time for some more Stitchie gashapon!



( Mini mini, eeeeeeee!!! )

Minis!! SQUEEEE!!!!!

( teeny weeny stuff )

What could possibly be better than tiki?

Stitch tiki?



How about mini tiki totem Stitch????

This is the latest round in the mini totem series from Yuujin. The sets consist of little teeny weeny keychains in the shapes of various Disney chara. The coolness is that, when you remove the tiny chains, you can stack 'em all up, totem-pole style.

'Twas a busy, busy day yesterday, as we were dragged along to not one but two parties, a situation of potential hellishness for the antisocial Tikistitch. But all was pleasant, and we even won a game of "buzz word bingo." Afterward the festivities had all ended, Mr. Tikistitch ordered our scuba instructor/quality assurance representative, Boneboy, who was acting as chauffeur, to whisk us to the nearest grocery, in his ongoing Quest for Star Wars Food Products. He was rewarded with a box of the elusive Darth Vader dark side Cheezits.

As dawn approached, and Tikistitch's patience wore ever thinner, the cunning Mr. Tikistitch attempted to bribe us into hitting just one more store by proffering a bag of Boba Skittles. Hmpf! We were underestimated. Next time, Mr. Tikistitch, try using the dreamy Obi-Wan Kenobi Skittles instead!

P.S. We want a baby fox!!!

And so, Tikistitch skipped off, carefree, to our post office box today, hoping to break our terminal case of PMS with some new delight. A Stitch bowling ball perhaps? Or maybe the initial issue of our Stitch Afficianado magazine? Only.....Disaster! Mr. Nice Postman had forgotten us completely! There was nothing! Nichevo!! Rien! Nada! Oh, the pain of it.



And so, we have searched the vast Tikistitch archives to bring you some consolation. Today it comes from....Tomy! And it is teeny. And tiny.

We believe this collection is called Chara Party, though we may be misreading the somewhat stylized katakana. This series comes in blind boxes, each festooned with the image of Winnie the Pooh lolling on a balloon. The series consists of 10 characters in all, including ones from Cinderella, Aristocats, and, glory be!! Lilo and Stitch. Here's a picture of the little Lilo figure. Our set came with an impressive display stand, which would be useful, would we care to extract our figures from their plastic bags. Which we will not.

So, our beloved vehicle languishes at the car hospital, waiting for someone to locate a driver's side window appropriate for an '88 Honda Civic.

Let us concentrate on the little things!



( Oooo, what's in the box? )
