My Wife Has Been Showing Me The Older Muppet Movies On Disney+ Because I Had Never Seen Them Before,

I love the concept of Baratie not just bc it's a sea restaurant and that's cool but because their policy is the absolute antithesis of "the customer is always right." Oh you wanna be a jerk to the staff? Get decked, loser. Being terrible on a date? Congratulations, our sous chef will steal your girl. Ordered a wine that pairs badly? Ignored, we're picking a better one. It's like objectively the funniest way to run a restaurant and I can't stop thinking about it.

My wife is the coolest. I turn 30 at the end of the month and as an early birthday present she made me a homemade plush of my favorite character from Bug Fables, Kabbu.

Here’s the character:

And here’s the plush she made:

HE’S SO SOFT AND HUGGABLE!!!! I LOVE HIM!!!! AND I LOVE MY WIFE! SHE’S THE BEST!!

Cool Bleach Stuff That I’ve Found Working at Vintage Stock

Alright, so I’ve been working at Vintage Stock for about five months now and from time to time we’ll get in some pretty neat stuff, whether it’s from corporate or a customer selling us stuff. Today, I’d like to highlight some of the Bleach stuff that we’ve gotten in. It ranges from really cool to funny to strange. Here we go!

First up:

This sick Hollow Ichigo mask. Bought this in from a customer. Cost $4.99. Immediately bought it for myself. It’s made of plastic so it’s not super high quality but it’s still pretty sick. Of course, like a week or two later, corporate sent us this:

I’m not 100% what material this one was made from but it was much higher quality. Cost $29.99. A customer bought it within a few days. I’m not too upset losing out on this one since I already have the other one for much cheaper. On to other things!

For context, I’m saying “Oh no”, because I know I’m going to buy this later. I actually didn’t though. I bought this one instead.

It was worth it. 😊 Anyway, at Vintage Stock we sell all manner of collectibles, DVDs, video games, and more. This includes figures, of course. So when we got this one in:

I knew I needed her immediately. I actually didn’t have any Bleach figures yet so this was pretty nice. We also had figures of Ichigo when he gets his new Zangetsu and Uryu in his Sternritter uniform but those got bought pretty quickly. We also have a couple of pre-owned figures. And, man. Are they funny.

I don’t know what’s funnier. Renji getting Mike Wazowskied twice or Byakuya costing ten dollars more. Anywho:

Obilgatory Funko photo. I don’t like Funko Pops. The only ones I own are gifts, aside from a Baby Groot one my wife and I bought after the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie came out. However, this one is kinda neat. Especially since it glows in the dark. Is it worth $59.99? Absolutely not. At least for me. Last thing on this list is DVDs. We actually bought in several box sets this evening.

Pretty standard stuff. We also already have Bleach DVDs in stock but they’re a bit… different.

Notice how it says, “Chapter 325-366,” the final episodes of the first anime, but the art is everyone in their season one looks. Also notice the art on the DVD on the right.

That, my friends, is fanart. We have bootleg Bleach boxsets for sale. 😂🤣 This was what inspired me to make this post in the first place but I wanted to wait until we got more stuff in. Here’s hoping I get more neat Bleach stuff in my store.

i will die on the hill of inoue orihime being a good character actually

We have a face! Yay! Only seven bags left to go.

Well, it took four and a half years but I finally caught COVID. It’s just mild symptoms but I’ll still need to isolate for about a week. Hopefully it’ll pass pretty quickly. In the meantime, let’s look at the positives. I’ve got a backlog of games and anime to work through so that’ll be fun.
