My sheep collection!
This is my second largest collection, the electric sheep line! This collection is actually something of a mystery: i never used ampharos at all in my first crystal playthrough but when heart gold came out i gained a love for the little sheep who effortlessly destroyed my opposition. I never expected to love her line so much: in fact, i sort of expected to hardcore collect all the dragons and suicune before anyone else. I've grown to love her line though, so i expect this line will grow, despite a lot less merch than Typhlosion. (Update: 14/4/13: i'm not collecting her as my second main anymore- i've fallen too hard for a certain armour bug- so i'll only be collecting ampharos and -some- pieces of her other evos, but not much)
Collection goal: Get items that are cool or unusual - mostly just ampharos but could have some of the others as well.
~23/6/13 - 38 items~

Kid figures
Eeek chubby mareep! X3 I just need the ever elusive flaaffy to complete the trio.
Other figures
Pokemon time mareep strap! She's adorable and comes with an equally cute bookmark. I didn't expect her colours to be so dark, but it's a really nice change from brights and pastels. She's also a very nice size for a charm of this kind.
Mareep battle stadium!
This was part of a trade with psychmoonshadow on PKMNcollectors. I traded my mewtwo motion gallery figure for this, and it's awesome! She even drew me a little sheep picture =3

Zukan (glossy European version)
Zukan! One of my first actually. I repainted one of my amphys shiny but...it's not very good so i'll be re-doing it soon. The shiny, glossy european-ness of the figures made the paint a weird colour when it was glossed so i've painted it about 3-4 times >_< I'll get it right eventually. USA/non gloss zukan are so much easier to paint. Tl;dr i suck at painting stuff
Oooh pretty figures!
Oooh pretty figures!
Thinkchip and random clear figures =3
A big awesome thank you to Aarux of pkmncollectors for selling me the thinkchip! Mini grail achieved =D
I love the 'old' style of ampharos so much, with the tiny eyes, limbs and ears and huuuuge neck. For the same reason i love the old UFO.

Flats
These are stickers that come with kid figures.
Pogs/ taz
These round flats are either called pogs or Taz, depending where you're from.
Some of them came with tomy figures in the 1990s-2000s in sets either with their evolution line, random 151 pokemon or with 'poke blasters' , toys that look like gameboys that shoot a ball and string. There were holographic and clear ones that were given away inside bags of crisps (not sure if this was UK specific).
I can remember digging into countless bags of monster munch trying to find all the different pokemon - these really take me back!

Note pages from some kind of Johto themed notebook, possibly sold at the pokemon center.
No, i'm not missing ampharos - the set didn't feature her for some reason =(

The above kid stickers and ...some REALLY big staks.
Staks are basically magnets that could be used for some kind of game, but also collectible - you know how the 90s were with their collectible kids stuff XD

Moar staks, the normal sized ones this time
TCG
Clear file
I think this was based on a pokecen bag design? Either way, it's pretty =3
The other side has ampharos in another pose but it's quite a 'normal' one. This one is more dynamic. The colours also go very well with my canvas plush.

Plush
Here are my plush, from the back forward:
- The left large 12" one is one of those DX bootlegs from ebay. It's very nice as bootlegs go, with minky - like fur and nice details..but it's missing a mouth. And i was honestly scared it was filled with dirty bandages (so many horror stories) so i cut the thing open to make sure it was clean. It is! phew.
- The rightmost back plush is the GRAILIEST OF GRAILS!!!!!!She's a 2000 UFO plush that KEPT BEING EXPENSIVE AND HNNNGHH but then someone on pkmncollectors was weeding her collection and taking offers...i didn't have enough to win her T_T or so i thought...she had ZERO INTEREST in the end and the seller accepted my offer =DDDDDD thank you!! Sorry i've forgotten your name ^_^'''
- The leftmost front one is a bootleg/reject UFO plush. A korotto manmaru ? plush i think. Eh the fabric is weird - i'm going with bootleg. It's wearing a hello kitty dress in case i get a real one and i can't tell the difference (?!!)
- The rightmost front one is the canvas plush - 4" of pure, pastel coloured happiness! Super soft and adorable.
