Info on the Brazilian Figures

As to avoid making my sales post huge and also be able to link this to people whenever they're curious, I'm writing a post about the Brazilian Figures that some of you have seen in people's collections (mine mostly xD).

Released about 10 years ago, these figures were made as a way to promote a drink named Guaraná (it's kind of like Coke, except it's not exactly Coke xD) that was going to be also sold in smaller bottles. Said bottles were called "Caçulinha" (a commom nickname for the youngest sibling), and were made for the kids to take to school and such. They're really small, and there is about one glass (if not less) of the drink in them.
The promotion consisted of having a Pokeball on the bottlecap, and inside there was a secret Pokemon figure. Not all of the first generation Pokemon got one made, but most did.
Later, when generation II came out, they did the promotion again, this time with the figures being of gen. II Pokemon. The material was also different, and even less Pokemon got figures of them made.
As all old merchandise, you may notice something funny about them, they have the same molds as many other figures (such as the stamps and the like). Some are really wonky, making them look a little bootleg-ish, though I assure you they're legit.
Later, as the promotion was not as successfull as they expected, they released those figures (the leftovers) as gashapon prizes. As well as some ones with different molds, that were already around by then (the bigger ones).
Those figures are still available nowadays as gashapon prizes in some rare places.

I hope this was helpful to someone. ^^; Any questions, just ask!

Random update (and a rant of sorts xD)

Hey guys.
I'm just really bored and so I figured I'd post. ._.;
Plus I wanted to show off the icon I made yesterday (out of boredom as well). xDDD If anyone reads this... What do you think of it? =D In case you didn't notice, it's the Poke stuff I collect. Caterpie, Dragonair, the Ralts line (mainly Gardevoir), Vaporeon, Espeon, Doduo, Omanyte, Lapras and Marina (why, yes, a human xD my collection of her is pathetic, though). Side collections don't count there. xD
Still waiting to see if I got that job that I both want and don't want. Me needs money, but does not want to work on that... thing. Ugh.

By the way. How come all I touch breaks or is destroyed in some weird way? Lately it hasn't been happening (not since last week), but it wouldn't make a difference if it did because I'm trying to sell my customs and no one cares, so if they were destroyed it'd be ok. xD I'm glad everyone likes that Caterpie sculpture I made, but could anyone at least mention what they think of the stuff I made to sell? ;-; My self confidence is underground already. I wonder if I should open commissions for sculptures like that Caterpie... Well, of course not, because then no one would want them either. Like my drawing commissions, my charms/pins/keychains commissions, and anything else I try to get some money. It appears that I'm destined to be broke forever. I checked my prices for all my commissions, and if they're not exactly as much as everyone else's, they're cheaper. So how come? Am I REALLY THAT BAD? Because if I am, I don't understand how I managed to pass with straight 'A's last semester in everything except ceramics, in which I got a 'B' (because I didn't answer the questions on the forum... Oopsie xD). I don't get how I even got into that university, actually. >.>

But ah well. I suppose it happens. I'll never have commissioners, and when I do, they won't ever pay me like last time. ._.;

So how are you guys doing? Someone please tell me some good news. .__.;

Broken is now an animator xD

Okay, I died. I died, I really did. I'm dead. Right now. Me? Dead.
I made an animation in 3 days. xDDD Sure it's nothing big and amazing but THAT'S TOO MUCH FOR ME.

... But now I wanna do more. 8D

By the way, if you guys want to watch...

Question!

Marina Sad
Okay I have a doubt and since you people who read my journal actually like Pokemon, I want YOU to help me decide! xD Though I'll be asking some friends out of LJ too so you never know the results of this for sure just by reading the comments. xDDD

Yesterday I made myself a Marina, Crystal, Kris, Dani, whatever the hell you feel like calling her, chibi styled sculpture. If you happen to have no frigging idea who that is, look at my icon. xD
My question is... I haven't painted her yet because I don't know which color scheme would look better. There's the game scheme, the anime scheme and the manga scheme. I don't really like black haired Marina (which happens to be called Crystal in the manga xD) so the manga color scheme is out of my list.
So! Which one do you guys think look better, the game or the anime colors?

Game: http://pokedream.com/games/crystal/trainers.jpg
Anime: http://www.pokezam.com/anime/characters/dani.jpg

The differences are mainly in the shorts, hat and hair color. And uh... her shoes. But the anime reference doesn't show you how they look so ignore that part. All you need to know is the shoes match the rest of the clothing, no matter what colors. xD


Just curious about what you guys think since I have no idea at all which one I like best and I only have one sculpture to paint. xDDD

When she's done I'll post a picture, promise. I just can't now because I lost my camera. xDDD


Edit: You guys know what's funny? I was looking at the references I gave you and realized that uh... Her hair is actually different in the game and in the anime. Not just the color, but the actual hair. ... And I made the anime one in my sculpture without even realizing they were different. Woo. xDDD
So that ends the discussion. I made anime-Marina without realizing it, and therefore it's anime-Marina color scheme that she'll get! Even though there was only one on-line vote and it was for game-Marina. xDDD But the good news is if I make anime-Marina I can make the boys too and since Juunichi, Vincent, whatever, doesn't really show up in the game, I wasn't gonna make him if I made her game version. xDDD

So that's it! =D Thank you everyone who didn't even read this! xDDD Thank you [info]castform for voting! ^^

Hmm

So I'm almost done moving! =D

University has been great so far, though one of our teachers is totally crazy and he scares me. ;-; I made a witch hat on our ceramics class. 8D It's gonna shrink so much I doubt anyone will recognize what the heck it is. 8D


So! I have questions for anyone who might be reading (sorry, by the way, for the lack of updates and comments on your journals, LJ has been being mean to me and teamed up with life to keep me from checking my friends page xD) this journal of mine!

First! Do you guys have any good shounen or not too yucky (that means annoyingly romantic) shoujo animes or mangas to recommend? I have free time right now. xD

Second! College eats up my money! =D Would anyone be interested in small commissions? Cheap ones, for either sketches or simple stuff, you know... Just wondering because I don't wanna offer them and be ignored because that'd be sad. xDDD So I'm asking to see if there'd be any kind of interest. ^^"

I have a DeviantArt account where you can see my art if you're not familiar with it yet, though it's slightly out of date. It's broken-chan.deviantart.com
Check it out even if you don't want a commission, yes? 8D



Thanks for reading, guys! x3 I'm sorry for being so unactive lately, I'll try to get myself to read all your recent updates during the weekend! And comment, of course!




((By the way... Has anyone else gotten traumatized with Watchmen? Someone please get those images of Dr. Manhattan out of my head. D: I'm not really into random guys that spend their lifes naked... Even if they're blue and can blow people up and make cool stuff with basically nothing on another planet. xD))

Lol Intro Post!

So, since I had nearly no one in my friends list before the pkmncollectors friending meme thing, I never really made an introduction of myself. =O So I thought I should do that now. ^^" Let's get started, shall we? =3

It all began... )

Ass kicking dreams pt 2! =D

  • Feb. 26th, 2009 at 2:22 AM
Marina wtf xD
Haha so while I translated a text I had previously written about my funny dream from a few days ago, [info]scytherwolf made a comment in the other entry that suddenly reminded me of another dream. So tomorrow you'll get TWO dreams! Haha more torture for you. xDDD
Today's dream is called... The Traumatizer 2000, because that's the name my friend gave it. xDDD I'm actually working to turn it into a mini comic. ^^"
Very weird dream ahead. Read at own risk )
Oh God, too long. xDDD I hope you enjoyed. xD Next post will have two dreams, both creepy and weird, but VERY short. Promise.

So I decided that this thing is too empty and I thought, hey, why not tell the inexistant readers about some of my weird dreams? =D I have two to tell you guys right now, because all the other cool ones I forgot important parts of already. xDDD
So this one is called... hmm... The Cursed Window. ò.Ó
Enjoy.

Warning, long and weird dream might traumatize you )

That's it. =D Stay tuned for the next post (probably tomorrow) with a much funnier and definitely not scary/creepy dream. =D
Now... Since I have nothing else to put here, I'll leave you guys with some dragon eggs for you to look at/click/whatever. XD
Adopt one today!Adopt one today!Adopt one today!Adopt one today!


I hope you non-existant readers have enjoyed this! =D See ya!

Hey hey! So I finally got permission to sell here (from [info]heerosferret</lj>). It's actually a sales and trades post because I don't really know how to price cards, though. xDDD I hope you can find something you like. =)
I will get more of these eventually but I'm not sure when exactly... Well I'll just update then. =)
By the way. This post is ungodly image-heavy. View at own risk. xDDD

What the hell is wrong with me? I'm posting twice a day. xDDD That's like... never ever ever post and then flood the journal with posts. 8D

Ok anyway! Since I've gotten plenty of stuff since my last collection update on the Pokemon Collectors Community (even more since the last pokemon-related post here xD), I figured it was time for an Epic Collection Post. 8D

Warning: Very image heavy!

Epic collection post is epic )
