If you are wondering why there are so many Beans stickers, I'm going to give some away and stick the rest on things I own. In certain spaces I am known as "the person who has the Beans" so sticking a Klapollo Beans sticker on my laptop or phone is as good as writing my name! (But a little less creepy than my ACTUAL name or username if I'm using those things out in public.)

For those who don't know, "ita" means "painful" in Japanese, as in, "that's so nerdy it's painful".

My Ita bag is two-sided and a most excellent shade of purple. Unfortunately my phone is REALLY bad at purples for some reason, likes to turn them into blues. Anyway, in real life all of the purples of the bag are the same colour, and the truest version of it in the photo is the strap.

The other side of the bag is also for display, but its much deeper pocket isn't intended for keyrings or pins. Instead, it is for plush!

Last time I posted photos of the board, it looked like this:

I have since acquired a lot more badges and pins, and frankly there is no way they would possibly fit without decreasing the gaps considerably.

So The Beans and I have been working on it. You'd be surprised how long it takes to get everything positioned correctly through the thick fabric. The pins are relatively easy, but the button badges ("can badges" in Japanese) are a lot more effort. I have to use a darning needle to make holes, reposition the badges several times so that they are relatively straight, and then use Gorilla tape to keep them in place. The result is nowhere near perfect, but people with severe astigmatism who get upset by things not being perfectly aligned (a.k.a. my mum) can just not look.

Here is the current status of the badge board:

though in going through my phone for these photos, I discovered another 4 badges which I forgot existed and need to find.

Therefore there are now 5 NEW BEANS living in my house! They are:

Maya Fey from Ace Attorney 1, 2, 3, 6.

Athena Cykes from Ace Attorney 5, 6.

Susato Mikotoba from The Great Ace Attorney.

Ryūnosuke Naruhodō from The Great Ace Attorney.

Ada Wong from Resident Evil.

I wanted to get a Franziska von Karma Bean too, but she wasn't in stock that day. So I asked Hikari to get me an Ada Wong because she is one of my favourite characters from the all-Capcom mobile card game TEPPEN.

Look how smiley Ryuubean is to be living with all those girl Beans...

Today I took a photo of all of my official Ace Attorney plushes/dolls together. (Plus Ada, because it seemed mean to leave her out when she is also a Bean.) There are the FANTHFUL big keyring plushes, the Chinese Capcom Center small Klapollo plushes, the Apollo Justice Nendoroid, and a big pile of Capcorom Beans.
