over 20 years after the show aired i finally have some official? merch to show my love...
the big resin statue was the last i could find ANYWHERE online, and it came with a card saying it was 13 out of 70... definitely the fanciest collectible thing i own. one of his zippers was broken when it arrived, but i did my best to reattach it and it’s mostly hidden by his staff so, for a last-minute purchase i still consider it a win.
the smaller statue was a LOT smaller than expected after getting the big one, but it’s still great quality and i love having such different vibes! it didn’t want to stay on its stand so i did have to scrape out the holes in the bottom a bit with an exacto knife and then glue it in place, but it works.
i still want to try making a better gatomon plushie to go with the wizardmon one- i prefer more detail than the one i got has but it was the only one i could find that was close to the right size to match wizardmon, and his design is way too complex for me to make myself.
now i just need to get an actual gatomon from the og card set to go with my wizardmon, and maybe a new wiz and gato from the newer sets.
