this character / mascot is named molang and he's korean i believe. i don't know anything else about his lore but i find him cute. i also don't know where i got this guy... maybe it was gifted to me?

i've loved kapibarasan forever, and of all the things i own, i probably have the most merch of this specific IP. this particular guy is as big as a pillow. i begged a friend to let me buy him from her wayyy back in high school, and i don't regret it at all!!!!!
i feel sad about how mushy he's gotten from me laying my laptop or myself on him... he's also to my side when i sleep so he really suffers a lot. worm teethed on his nose when she was little and it made a hole, but my sister and i patched him right back up. unfortunately, it's torn off again...
i commissioned someone to make me a little camilo doll. he turned out so cute! i love the look of these crochet dolls. the mouthlessness is so endearing to me. i wanted to have him so i could throw him against the wall, so that was the first thing i did when i got him.
i'm very much not a figurine collector girlie, but while in japan my sister and i kept spotting this little dimoo mascot. the style was very cute, but the only one that caught my eye was this sad pathetic little boy who got stood up. delightful.
i refused to buy a gacha box since i only wanted this guy, so i waited until i got home to buy from a reseller who had opened all of them and would give you the specific one you wanted. wahoo!
my best friend bought me this ichimatsu desk friend once. he's SUPER TINY. like, the length of my finger. he also doesn't sit very well and falls over often. i'm pretty sure i also got a karamatsu, but i might have lost him somewhere in my room, which i think is pretty in character for him.
inteleon my boyfriend. you know what, i got him SO recently but cannot recall where. at the pokemon center? did someone gift him? sorry if someone did and i forgot. anyway, i love him! he stands poorly, like ichimatsu sits, so i've double-taped his feet to my shelf so he'd stop falling over. you're not going anywhere, sir!
my sister is really good at felting and she made me this super cute kidd desk friend. she gave him a little book to read too! he is so smart and curious.
the base of my lamp is green so he looks like he's sitting in the grass when he sits there, which was intentional on my sister's part. (the lamp is not pictured.)
you thought you'd seen the last of oliver? hah! i bought this oliver head on one artbox trip. i realized oliver is just another mouthless guy i like... but look at him! so sweet. even though he's just a head, he brings me joy. his filling is actual stuffing and not beans, so he's not much of a stress ball - just a ball you can pat on the head kindly.
this capybara walks if you press the left button on the remote, and chirps (?) if you press the right. i'm not sure if it still does, actually – i should probably change the batteries.
my cousin got me this sadness doll because she looks like i did some years ago LOLLL. worried with glasses and a bob. if you press her hand she says something, but i don't recall what she says. :(
i actually didn't like inside out that much. but i like that it gave me an easy halloween costume to do lol
shellder sitting cuties! i fucking love that the pokemon merch guys decided to call this line of plush toys "sitting cuties." they truly are. my sister got me this for christmas!
baby capybara! she sits in your hand and is easy to hurl at people, so is perfect. i actually have a lot of kapibarasan merch for someone who's not a diehard collector – stay tuned for more kapibarasan adds to this page.
.................yeah...! i have this for some reason. he was gifted by my best friend. very throttleable.
i bought this squirtle from someone selling stuffed toys for a fundraiser. he is preloved and it shows, but what a cute boy! from the back he has a nice round head that you just want to hold gently.
when my siblings let me play pokemon blue as a kid, i named my squirtle katootie. i have no idea where i got this name.
i got kicks from the same fundraiser i got the squirtle above! he also is secondhand but it does not show as much. he is cute and grippable.
something i find funny about this kicks plush is that he... does not have a snout. it's like they just made him based on a screenshot of him from the front. i think it would have been cuter if he had a snout, but probably harder on the plush makers. i like him all the same.

i'm laughing as i type this. i saw @guessibetter on twitter run preorders for a super cute sylvain pillow that's smaller than your head, which they called "pillowvain" or "soft sylvie." he is very cute and happy, and has a little heart embroidered in his bangs. he came with blush applied, so i reapply it whenever i remember to.
my favorite pokemon is shellder, but my second favorite is hisuian zorua. look at his gentle gaze! i want to take care of him and make him feel warm and loved.
i went to the pokemon center in shibuya (?) and saw they were selling SHINY hisuian zoruas, but the normal ones were all out. prior to going there i didn't even know this plush existed, but i ended up going to the ikebukuro pokemon center to acquire him. singleminded love of a mother.
i got soondori back in 2018 when i was deep in my svt phase. i don't usually find idol dolls cute, but soondori's design was extremely cute. look at his face.
i think he came in a polar bear onesie outfit, but while i was in seoul i went to a store that specializes in clothes for these idol dolls and pickd up a cute outfit for him, pictured here. i bought him glasses too (made of Real glasses material!), but they keep falling, so they are not in the picture.
BABY... these mutant mayhem stuffed toys came out and i ordered donnie as soon as i could. look at his little three-mouth. he's got smiley eyes under those non-removable glasses too. they did a good job of capturing the cuteness of mume donnie in this plush toy.
i have never been the type to bring around a plush when traveling or out and about, but i brought him once to the natural history museum and it brought me so much joy to take a picture of him in front of the turtle exhibit.
my friend V sent "pick a sanrio character" to the group chat without context and i said pochacco, so he got me this! extremely cute. i think it's a daruma of sorts? unsure! i like that it's got cat ears for some reason.
this randall is from a gacha machine in tokyo. i tried to get him three times... and all three times, i got mike. eventually i gave up, but my friend E asked if i wanted anything from japan another time and i jokingly asked if they could get me this randall.
they ended up buying it off a gacha goods store LOL. they handed it to me during my january 2025 trip there!!! so happy... finally randall... (he is now with one of my mikes. i gave away the other two mikes.)
my sister bought me a little huey blind box figurine for my birthday! the theme of this blind box was "kindergarten" which gives me cuteness aggression. i went back with her to the store she got it from and bought dewey and louie as well.
one day, i went on a rampage looking for any cute triplets merch i could find... did you know that in the "mickey and friends" blind boxes, they only offer huey among the triplets (if they offer the triplets at all)? great time to be a huey ult.
i brought him with me to tokyo disneyland in one of those little containers people carry their figurines around in. i AM like other girls (nods)
another in my huey figurine collection – also a product of the aforementioned rampage. he is so cute. the swing actually works!
this was the toy that sent me on the huey rampage, actually. i saw someone draw fanart of it, and i went from a blind box shunner to "holy fuck, how did i not realize they might have figurines of characters i like?" lmao. he looks cute and dumb with the beach ball stuck to his head ^__^
DT17 is my favorite iteration of the triplets, so i looked for merch that was a combination of easy to get, inexpensive, and cute. these mini figurines of huey, dewey, and louie were strong contenders, so i nabbed them on ebay. thank you ebay........
i got poliwhirl the same day i bought the kindergarten dewey and louie, since we were in an area with a bunch of pre-loved/secondhand goods. he was cute and inexpensive, so why not? he's a little shabby but has the soft body of a beanie baby.
i bought this sleeping donald plush from a secondhand shop online. i was initially looking to buy what i thought was a huey tsumtsum from them, but it turned out to be a donald in red...
still, the shop owner was very sweet so i wanted to purchase something from them anyway, so i got this along with something for my sister. he's quite cute!
(donald has been gifted to a friend!)
i ordered these from mercari with help from a fellow member of the OTW! they were part of a tsum tsum advent calendar that i was NOT willing to get for specifically my boys, but i somehow came across someone selling these three in a set. what a dream.
my mangled son. i bought this bootleg huey off ebay... i was honestly just browsing for the tsum tsums in the previous entry and making fun of the ugly plushies, but this one ended up calling out to me. he cannot sit up properly and his legs bend unnaturally. his beak tilts down. i like him so much.
