Snap 'em up before they all go *poof*

There is a shop that I frequent to get my Gloomy Bear Merch. And that shops' Seimon-cho. They have two outlets; one in IMM and the other in Plaza Singapura.

This month, they are bringing in some pretty cool stuff that can only be purchased from them!

I've got my preorder down for a set of those lamby looking Gloomy Bears! But I'm still gonna head down fast to grab that mean looking camera pouch!!! These items will hit the stores on 19 November, and yes that's this coming Friday. :)

If you like what you're seeing, do head down to check them out! I won't spoil the surprises that await you there.

Also, for updates, find them on Facebook, and watch out on their blog for their latest updates!

Countdown posts to Mori Chacks' visit to Singapore!

STGCC 2010 is gonna see some of the best artists coming down to give us an aesthetic treat :D
And of all the artists who are going to make an appearance, there is ONE whom I am most interested in seeing.

That's right, it's Mori Chack! Known best for his extremely successful Gloomy Bear lineup, he also has several other characters that are oh-so-unbelievably cute.

Mori Chack @ showcase in MARUI Shinjuku 2F

You can find out more about him from his Wikipedia Page or his Blog.

Anyways, for the upcoming STGCC, Mori-san will be selling a 9-inch sitting Gloomy plush in 5 colors. These are manufactured by PlayImaginative, and sales are probably at their booth too.
Well, IMO the are teh-suck...NOT. 9-inch plushes aren't your everyday sizes, and in the world of Gloomy, sky blue and Instinctive(grey) aren't very common either! However I would say that the plush is modeled after very common versions of the Gloomy plushies. Good or bad? You be the judge. :)

Well start counting down folks, its 26 days to STGCC 2010. Be there, or be squarshed by Gloomy.

So what's up at PARCO Marina?

A couple of days ago I posted about the Gotochi Kitty and Kaiju Blue event at PARCO Marina.

Well I finally went down today, and here's the lowdown~

10th Anniversary Pouches!

Value for money! 2 face towels for only $16!

Clockwise from top left: 10th Anni Pink Gloomy plush, Gloomy Face pouch with card slot, Hello Kitty X Gloomy Bear Handphone strap.

Left: Die-cut Towels. Right: Hello Kitty X Gloomy notepads.


Hello Kitty X Gloomy Pencil Case

All the above are available from $10 and up! The Hello Kitty X Gloomy items are must haves, for both HK and Gloomy enthusiasts and are almost IMPOSSIBLE to find in Singapore! So do head down ASAP to snap up these hard-to-find items.

On a side note, these are my steals for the day!

All the best in getting your favourite items from the event!

Gotochi Kitty and Kaiju Blue come to Singapore!


For the first time in history, all the iconic Hello Kitty's from Japan will be centrally available from PARCO Marina! This is perhaps the only chance to acquire all those iconic Kitties which would otherwise only be available at select locations in Japan. Do away with the trouble of scrambling all over Japan, and just scramble down to PARCO Marina to get them :D

In addition, Kaiju Blue will be bringing down their merchandise, consisting of REALxHEAD productions, Kaiju Blue exclusives and of course, Gloomy Bear merch!!!

Do take note of this on your calendar, as the event will only be held for 13 days from 10 Nov to 22 Nov! (They will close at 7pm on the last day)

I'll be heading down a couple of days later to check it out, and post my acquisitions and the stuff thats available, so stay tuned! :D

Another piece of Gloomy-ness~



I had a friend return from Japan just a couple of days ago.

I requested her to keep an eye out for ANYTHING Gloomy there, which she did, however she was unable to grab anything from the UFO machines. (>.<)
Gloomy bear handkerchief (Instinctive). For those who don't know, that refers to grey.

This would be from a lineup that can only be obtained in Japan from Gachapon Machines. Which are most certainly rare in Kyushu, considering my friend only found it on her LAST day there (Lucky me~)

Other items that can be Gacha-ed from the machines are, name tags that come in pink and albino colorways, a pink version of the handkerchief I have, and lastly a pink gloomy face Omiyage (Present) drawstring bag. :D

All that goodness only for 200 yen. So those heading to Japan do keep an eye out for these rare Gacha-machines.

P.S. did I mention these are a special release for the 10th Anniversary of Gloomy Bear?
