UPDATE:

The second package arrived today, and inside was the cutest little Espurr plush! I love it! It's clearly very high quality, with wonderfully soft fur. It appears to be official merchandise from the Japanese Pokemon Center, too, judging from its tag.

Espurr's one of my (many, many) favorite pokemon, and this plush is absolutely adorable! Just look at those soulless, staring eyes. :D

As an aside, I'd originally thought it'd be cute to pose it with one of my cats ("new kitten meets the neighbors" sort of thing), buuut, well, Princess had other ideas. ...I was lucky to get it away from her in one piece. It will now stay safely in my room, where the cats aren't allowed to go.

ORIGINAL POST:

My Santa contacted me to let me know my gifts (yes, plural, apparently I can expect two packages!) would be a little late arriving, but the first one appeared in my mailbox today and I wanted to go ahead and post it!

It's a beautiful, high quality set of Johto gym badges in a really nice decorative box. Johto was my first and therefore favorite generation (ahhh, the memories), so these are a wonderful gift. I intend to start pinning them to any bags and caps I can to properly show them off.

I'll update this post when the second package arrives, but in the meantime, thank you Santa for this gift! I love it, and I know I'm going to have a lot of fun with it!
