Merlin the Chocobo

Sorry for the lack of travel posts lately. I have been very tired and overworked and thus I decided to make a lighthearted post about my most recent purchase at Kotobukiya in Akihabara. Kotobukiya is this chain store of geek goods and cute gifts that always seems to have the right thing to cheer me up. They often carry some serious favorites like Final Fantasy Characters, Nintendo Plushies, and cute figurines from the Ghibli movies like the famous Totoro (from My Neighbor Totoro) and Nekkobasu (Cat-bus also from My Neighbor Totoro).

 Well, I've had my eye on these cute Chocobo Plushies

that have cute little theme hats for quite some time and finally had a little cash for one.
They are shelved right near awesome
Tonberry Plushies (also from Final Fantasy) and I was psyched to get one.

 So without further ado, presenting the newly purchased Merlin the Plushie who will adventure with me around Tokyo! (This is what it takes to de-stress for a masters degree candidate geek girl. Plushies, chocolate and the occasional sushi binge. heehee.)

Kweh!

Woo hoo Chocobo Plushie! Super cute, super awesome and definitely going to be my new travel companion. This is the best geeky purchase I've made in a while (next to my Nintendo DS and Japanese Kanji software, of course. I'll write more about that later though.)

Goodnight for now!

Coming soon, Travel Destinations in Ueno Park area, Tokyo!

Oyasumi!
