#CROCollection #81
An officially licensed jigsaw puzzle based on Yoshi's Island. Often, there are two versions of these jigsaw puzzles that differ both in size/piece count, and in the glitter present on certain parts of the artwork.
I'm psyched that this was the first puzzle I was able to snag!

At long last... I have obtained all 10 Yoshi's Island keychain figures, produced by Banpresto!
They were distributed in prize machines in Japan in 1997, and have become more and more difficult to track down. It took me around 2 whole years to complete the set!

All 10 Yujin Yoshi's Island DS Stylus Pens.
I wanted these SO badly when I was younger, that my mum got me some bootlegs from eBay. I'm happy to finally own the real deals!
They were distributed via gacha machines in 2006-2007.

So this post will be a lengthy one with a bit of lore!
BD&A produced a lot of different Yoshi plushies back in the 90s, including Green, Dark Blue, Yellow and Red. But they ALSO made smaller, 5 inch tall Black and White Yoshis.
But that's far from where the story ends! (1/3)

A cardboard Yoshi's Story pachinko machine that was included alongside a Japanese gaming magazine in the late 90s!!
I built it myself, though perhaps not 100% correctly. It is an extremely obscure item and this is the only one I have EVER seen.

An assortment of my smallest Bowser Jr. figures, all barely taller than a penny.
The first one is from a microfigure Mario playset, the second one is from a set of New Super Mario Bros. bath bombs, and the third one was included in some pencil sets.

A plate with Bowser Jr. on it, made by Bandai.
I don't know what I'd use this for, so it's just a display piece.

A Yoshi's Story papercraft diorama that was included with one of the many guide books created for the game. It is fashioned similarly to the actual pop-up book that appears in-game, with a front and back cover to boot.

Two Bowser Jr. plushies from the Super Nintendo World theme park.
The three plushies made at the park are. thus far, the first and only instances of his hair and eyebrows being the correct colour in plush toys (red rather than orange).

A headband with a Bowser Jr. plush sitting on top of it, sold at Super Nintendo World. The headband is supposed to make the wearer look like Bowser, carrying Junior on their head.
This is one of the best items they've ever made, I'm so obsessed 😭

A 3D printed Baby Bowser figure, which was then handpainted by me.
The model used was his trophy from Super Smash Bros. Melee, which was in turn based on his model from Yoshi's Story.
I hate how photos make my painted figures look! They look so much better in person.

A Bowser Jr. action figure from a Super Mario Sunshine Kubrick gachapon set. The set was made by Yujin back in 2002, and is one of the few pieces of merchandise featuring his Shadow Mario mask.
Sadly these figures are prone to stickiness due to their age and PVC degradation.

A plush Yoshi keychain by ToySite. From what I understand, this item was released in multiple ways (alongside a Mario plush), one of which was with a Nintendo DS carrying case.
... It was also the star of a very popular YouTube video. :P

In the late 90s, ToySite manufacturered a lot of Mario plush toys to promote Nintendo 64 games releasing at the time. Among these were two sets of Yoshi plushies, released alongside Yoshi's Story.
I'll include more information in the replies, since I want to yap about them!

This particular artwork of him first appeared in a Mario playing card deck released in 2010, for Super Mario Bros.' 25th anniversary, and continues to be used for merchandise 15 years later!

A neck fan with a fun Bowser Jr. design, from the Japan Super Nintendo World theme park!!
You're meant to hang this around your neck, and it acts as a cooling device... I think. I actually haven't opened mine, so I have no idea what it looks like when being used...

Piggybacking off of yesterday's post, here is a giant 30cm bootleg Bowser Jr. plush, based on Sanei's pattern.
Sanei's plush was heavily bootlegged, but finding it in this size is very unusual, therefore making this a very obscure and unique piece despite being inauthentic.

Two Bowser Jr. plushies made by Sanei in 2009 (left) and 2011 (right).
These particular plushies unfortunately gained notoriety through a YouTuber's use of them in their videos, aritificially raising the value.
...It's very annoying that they are so intrinsically linked to that.
