Super Mario Galaxy Rosalina Collection!

        I wish I could've had a cool shot of my entire collection to show you all. But I'm afraid I don't have a display for them at the moment (°ロ°)! I'll just show them off by game category for the time being. Let's start off with Super Mario Galaxy (SMG) and Super Mario Galaxy 2! 

  SMG has always been one of my favorite games Nintendo has produced, replaying it over and over. When I began collecting SMG/2 merchandise based around Rosalina, she surprisingly had a handful of items. Some of them were trading cards and stickers but also found a few neat things as you can see below. 


        There's a mix of cards and stickers lying down on the table as well as some luma magnets. There was even a tattoo made by Enterplay! 

        My favorite cards here are the SMG2 Rosalina 3D card by Ensky and SMG Rosalina Foil card by Enterplay. I obtained the 3-D Rosalina in a Yahoo Auctions through a shopping proxy and the Rosalina foil through eBay.

        There's also the desktop figures as well. I had no idea there was a boxed version released by Subarudo「スバルドウ」until seeing listings on Mercari JP. Up until that point, all I knew is they had USA releases by Tomy and Japanese releases by Yujin as gashapon!

        The Rosalina keychain is one of my most proud pieces of merch! I wasn't even aware Banpresto had made Mario Galaxy keychains until I started researching more about Mario galaxy merch! It was released in 2009, there were 3 waves of these keychains; Rosalina debuted in the first release. This was one of the few pieces of merch that took me the longest and is (as of writing this) the second most expensive item I bought! 

        There's also this water toy I found first on a youtube video. There's not much information or listings of the little water toy other than a picture on the Mario Galaxy Wiki, to my knowledge.  I was lucky to get this off of a second hand market in China through a shopping proxy. This was also another one of my harder to get items

       Some items didn't make it to the final picture so I'll include them here! One is a pin that was released as both a gashapon and as its own standalone and the Super Mario Kun manga volumes that Rosalina appeared in.

        That's my SMG/SMG2 collection! I'll hopefully follow up with a Mario Kart collection soon. Let me know what your guys's thoughts!

Least and Most expensive items!

Image
           Since the start of March 2021, I've made around 130+ purchases in my journey to build my dream Rosalina collection. I've seen my fair share of both absurd and lucky pricings. WIth that said, I belive to have a general idea of what items I expect to be expensive, inexpensive, sought after more/less and region specific items not available in other places.            Today, I'm going to go through this list to talk about my top 5 least and most expensive items! If the item was bought online, I'll show the full price paid (accounts for shipping too). I'll also go by the price that they were bought, unless they were purchased at MSRP. This will include items that Rosalina may appear in but might not be the entire main focus. Without further to do, let's start! Least Expensive item #1: Jakks Super Mario 2.5 Inch Figure!!            Let's start off with the least expensive item. At $2.25, ...

Rosalina Merchandise Photos (Part 1)

Image
        Wow, my last post was a darn long time ago! Sorry for my absence. I recently started university and during the time I didn't post I had to take care of a couple of things. I also moved to Instagram to post my collection so my activity went there for a little while. I also began updating the Rosalina wiki in her merchandise section as well as the merchandise sections of Super Mario Galaxy and SMG 2. Don't worry though, I'll still use Blogger as my main outlet to go in-depth about my collection and other information. That said, my collection is back at home, so I am limited for the moment about photos of new merchandise or photographing merch for the sake of achivial reasons or keeping track of my collection in general. For the meanwhile, i'll do these "Photo Albums". Essentially, they'll just be places when I drop a bunch of merch photos. This will hopefully help me post more often. Enjoy the photos (some might be borrowed from my Insta or not) and ...
