like barely but still.

ouch my back

I got some awesome fan merchandise from Etsy:

Klavier and Apollo pins by @reddachi.

Gavinners CD charm, Ema Skye and Susato Mikotoba buttons by @teablooming.

The CD charm has a little Bean-sized "CD" inside.

I also got a mix of official and fan-made merchandise from Japan. Two doujins, a Klapollo keyring from M/Y/C on Booth, official AA4 and AA6 logo keyrings/charms, two official Miles Edgeworth AAI masking tape reels, and one of my holy grails: an official Klavier pin released in 2013 that usually shows up for stupid amounts of money (like US $100). This one was unpackaged and therefore a sensible price! It's very sad, my friend who collected Japanese merchandise for me and sent it over is moving to another country, so I'll have to go back to paying through the nose to Buyee or another proxy *sad face*

@lydskisses sent me a couple of items from the Shanghai Capcom Centre. These folders contain a one-sided card and a two-sided "ticket" for each of Klavier and Apollo. The "ticket" is printed on holographic card which actually looks great. Also there's a pair of keyrings which I've been waiting forever for (not her fault, stock levels at the Chinese Capcom Centre were not great at the beginning) which are supposed to go in the mini Ita bag that I received months ago. Hilarious cute thing that my husband said to me when he got home from work: "What's Gyakuten Saiban?" He genuinely didn't know!

I highly recommend @lydskisses for importing merchandise from China! Everything was incredibly well wrapped, with several layers of cardboard and several layers of bubble wrap protecting the items. Now that I've seen the keyrings in person, I'm not sure if I want to keep them because the lack of eyes is weird. Here's a photo of the keyrings from the Shanghai Capcom Centre that was from either X or Reddit (can't remember which now), plus the designs available. They're definitely supposed to be eye-less, but it seems strange to me. I might sell them to another fan who likes them better than I do.
