IT IS RESURRECTED!

And then some, this is really more of an artistic tribute to the original Halikan industrial design with better materials and some fancy flair. Check it out, it's some of the best work by @polymatt.bsky.social yet!

A couple of my friends made it in! 😊

It's the promo where they used fan videos (submitted online and from the screening in NYC last month) talking to Carol. There may also be a few other familiar faces. 🙂

LOL, yes, I've been obsessively hunting for any scrap of information about this show for the past 3 years. 😅

I've also lost count of the number of times I've found hoagie rolls buried in my garden and potted plants.

I will never forget the morning I looked out my window while sipping my coffee to see a squirrel dash across my yard with an entire-ass hoagie in its mouth. I guess that's how you can tell it's a South Jersey squirrel.

I did like that they got the pipe plush set, but with different packaging than the Japanese versions. (I did not like trying to figure out how to actually get them home on a bus, though. RIP, pretty boxes. LOL)

Yeah. I was sad that I didn't even see much stuff with the Nintendo New York logo on it this time. I'm always torn by wanting easier access to certain exclusives but also wanting each location to be its own unique experience.

They did have a little more stuff from the Japanese Nintendo stores when I was there recently than they did when I was there back in March, but not a ton. Definitely nowhere near what San Francisco has. I'm curious how much new stuff they got in over the past couple of weeks.

Yep, I'm pretty sure that's another one that originated at the Japanese Nintendo stores. I don't think they had that one when I was there, either.

I ordered the Japanese adult version last year on eBay and spent way too much on it and then ended up getting the wrong size. I haven't been able to find the kid sized version with the additional ghost at a decent price. And I agree that the fabric isn't anywhere near as nice as their usual shirts.

1) I'm mad because I was literally at Nintendo NY a week and a half ago, and they didn't have this.

2) This was originally a Japanese Nintendo store shirt I believe from summer 2024 that roughly corresponded with the release of Luigi's Mansion 2 HD.
