Greetings!
Hello, and welcome to my collection website. :)
My main focus right now is the Slowpoke line, but I adore cute Pokemon plush as well!
I started collecting the Slowpoke line a little over a year ago, and it's grown quite a bit since then. I wasn't very fond of him at first, but the story began when I hatched a shiny Slowpoke in my Pokemon Pearl game, and then I started obsessing after the excitement. :D
I'm currently most interested in Slowpoke line customs, but I'm still on the lookout for what's left of the official merchandise that I am missing (especially plush!!! All two of them that I don't have).

We all have to start somewhere, right? At this point, I didn't even think my collection would last, but I was very wrong..
This is the earliest picture of my Slowpoke line collection that I could find. All of the merchandise here was purchased from fellow community members, and an order from miss_fuu_chan's Safari Zone. At the time, I thought of this just as a side collection from all of the various plush I had, and I never would have imagined for it to grow as much as it did. I actually enjoy this collection picture the most out of all of them, because I almost don't believe it happened. Looking at my collection now, I can't even believe that this is what it started out as..

Plush Collection, May 29th, 2009
This was probably one of the peaks to my plush-collecting days. I've always had a thing for plush, so collecting Pokemon plush was only natural for me.
I placed each and every one of them on my curtain holders to watch me since they day they arrived at my house, but one day I decided to lay all of them out on my bed for a photo. I don't know if it was just placement or what, but I swear it looked like there were twice as many as there actually were, having them arranged like this.
Obviously this plush mountain didn't live for long, since I couldn't really resist diving into it right after the picture was taken. XD

The Slows grew more and more rampant on my night table..
Since two weeks before this was taken, they had more than doubled!
I had a lot of things coming to me in the mail, and a bunch more purchases were made, including my first orders from the Sunyshore and Floaroma Pokemarts! I remembered being really excited about seeing so much merchandise I never laid my eyes upon before, like the large Slowbro Grabber, purple Slowbro Dice, and the Slowbro keychain with a detachable tail. ^_^

I think part of me was a little ashamed of my first couple collection pictures, so I never bothered taking any more until I had a decent amount of merchandise. I regret this now, since I would have loved to see more progress pictures. :(
My Slowpoke line collection moved from a tiny section on my night table to taking up the entire thing within a few months. Since the first picture, many plush, flats, and figures were added.
I remember being way more enthusiastic about flats when this picture was taken, but now I am less into them, unless there is really cute artwork.

Here is the most up to date Slowpoke collection picture that I have! It's from about a couple months ago, but I assure you it's grown since then. :)
Since I moved, I had to find a new place to put all of them. They've multiplied so much, they have all 3 levels of my night shelf to themselves, as well as the surrounding walls LOL.
The top shelf contains some of my favourite figures (Slowking Dice, Slowpoke Squishy, Slowpoke line zukan, Slowpoke Coin Bank, Slowbro Squishy Figure, Slowpoke stamper) and plush (Slowpoke laying down beanie, leather plush, TOMY fuzzy plush, and taffeta plush).
The middle shelf has mostly Slowking plush, stampers, mini models, chibi models, and dome figures. The Slowbro grabber is peeking out at the left since he is so big compared to the rest of them; he probably belongs more on the top shelf.
One of my favourite kinds of merchandise are metal collection figures, which were released about a decade ago. They're quite heavy for being such little figures, and come in all sorts of colours! The only one of Slowpoke I have is the green one, and he's to the left of all the rainbow mini models (I don't think I've seen all the colours of the mini model rainbow, but I'm very interested in collecting the rest!).
The clear battle stadium figures sit at the right of the middle shelf, and are cute little interesting figures.. I haven't seen a lot of transparent Slowpoke line merchandise.
The bottom-most shelf is a little disappointing right now, but I'm planning on re-arranging it! It receives the least amount of light, and I've been thinking about maybe getting some sort of LED to put on the wall (I haven't really pursued this idea much, though lol). It has the large figure of Slowbro with a Christmas tree tail (I eyed this on Y!J for a long time before I found one for extremely cheap), all of my full colour stadium (FCS) figures, and some pogs and other pieces of merchandise that I wouldn't quite consider to be flats (like the amazing chopstick rests, and green-backed dominos).
The Slowpoke bouncy ball was given to me by a dear friend, so it's very special to me. I don't think I've seen another one like it, either!
