Super Groupies Full Metal Alchemist Edward Elric Hand Bag

#FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric hand bag from Super Groupies arrived in all its red glory. Kind of what I expected but kind of not at the same time.

Actually it arrived about 2 weeks ago but I just around to the photos now (whoops). It was well packaged and had a distinct fake leather smell. The smell seems to have faded now.

The front of the bag with the alchemist watch decoration on the front.

The back of the bag shows a nice discrete pouch with a zip.

The bag has a decent depth to fit lots of stuff inside. It's pretty stiff and holds its shape well.

I really like the design with distinct Edward elements to it like the braids on the front and the obvious alchemist watch thing.

Emblem of a state alchemist; it is just a metal design stuck on the front but it is a nice touch.

There are some small bits in the construction I wasn't too pleased with. The bag is quite stiff and sturdy which ended up reminding me of a Randoseru.Some of the stitching was a bit loose in some areas and I found some extra iron filings stuck on some of the metal parts.

Due to the braiding, both buckles were slightly slanted. Not that big of a deal but it started to bother me the more I stared at it.

Some corner areas were exposed like this, making me wonder how much wear and tear it could withstand.

The top is held closed with this magnetic clasp which was already scratched like this when I first opened it.

But the construction aside, the bag is quite useful. There is the back pocket that has a zip, and the front also has a small pouch with no zip. The inside is quite roomy with two little pouches on the side. I just wish that the top had a zip as well as it wouldn't be too hard to slip your hand in through the sides.

The inside of the bag has two pouches for small items.

Just in case you forget, there's a Full Metal Alchemist tag inside :)

 I suppose overall I'm still happy with the bag. I just think the previous necklace was made better and will probably reconsider other apparel type items from Super Groupies from now on.

If you're into Superheavy Samurai, you can get the ones I pulled here on eBay.

Pokemon Center Goomy Goodies

A line of #pokemon #goomy products released this weekend including a giant goomy plush!

Doesn't he look so silly.

 It's hard to describe the size. Let's just say he's like a soft and squishy basketball of substantial weight.

I was a bit disappointed with the quality of this one; usually Pokemon Center plush are really good. Quite a number of them around the shop had some kind of stitching problem or material defects. This one was the best one I found.

They all seemed to have a tuft of stuffing sticking out the back.

The best looking plush I found still had some stitching issues.

But the tag is pretty cute :)

There are lots of other goomy goods too. They look really good and would be suitable for anyone out and about, unlike some of the previous releases with very obvious Pokemon colors and designs.

Tote bag, zip bag and pouch.

The bags have a really awesome goomy tag.

 Of course, there is the ever popular clear file :)

Goomy clearfile set.

Next, next weekend is the release of some goomy gashapon figures.

However, this week saw the release of the new Pikazard gashapon so if you missed out on the Pikazard merchandise a while back, it's a good chance to get some more :)

I got no. 2 and 4

 Also a reminder that the Pokemon Center Egg even is still ongoing.
