I'm slowly getting back into going to the gym which is a good thing.

Since I was scanning some examples for someone else, I thought I would share some examples of doujinshi merchandise.

For those who don't know a lot of the bigger circles will make free items (usually post cards, bags, pads of paper, or clearfiles) if one buy's a circle's most recent doujinshi. There are also sometimes little laminated cards and other miscellaneous merchandise for sale by circles. I rather like these items because they're generally rather unique.

Please do not use any of the pictures taken of my merchandise without permission to make icons, etc.



This was a free Code Geass bag made by Kashi. If you look carefully you can see some measuring tape to try to give scale. I love the picture


This is one of the sides of their bag from SuperComicCity 2008


And the other side, sometimes a Kashi bag has two illustrations on either side and sometimes only one.


This was a free bad from R1 put out by HP.01. I like some of their Geass books. They use to do FragaKira in Seed but I was never really into that pairing. >>;


This free bag was given out by Double Slash if you bought their newest books at the Area 37 event. The chibis are so cute!!!


This was a Clearfile put out by Pandora's Box. It was free. :3


And a Shinn/Kira one from Destiny.


I forgot which circle made this for purchase, but it's a Lelouch, Suzaku and CC glass from R1. I also bought the Destiny Asuran, Kira and Lacus glass. It seemed quite unique


Even more unique and won off Y!J is this bowl set put out by Like Hell. For those curious Jeremiah got the chopsticks and CC is the character the flash is hiding.


From Comiket 2005, Kashi put out this Gundam Seed Destiny Calendar. This is the back side, showing promo pictures of the inside.


August Comiket 2008 pin and postcard from Pandora's Box, a pad and postcard set from Pandora's Box, I can't remember well. A pretty Suzaku Kashi card form March 07, I missed the Lelouch one from an earlier event but since I like Suzaku I was OK with it. It's Lelouch's hand offering the apple BTW. And a deck of Destiny playing cards, each card has an illustration by a popular Destiny circle.


Cute laminated chibis I bought. This circle likes to do chibis from most popular series and popular characters get lots of different versions. This is particularly true for Seed/Destiny though the R1 Geass characters had a few different versions. Sadly there are no R2 Geass characters.


AsuKira purse by Flying Spider and a Suzaku keychain

Other items I own that are different: Tenipuri doujishi clock, a Suzaku photo Album and a Code Geass keitai strap as well as lots more laminated cards, pads, posters and postcards.


Also if anyone is interested I've listed my L-Bi for sale as well as one of my Kuutas, some wings, a Demian head and I have feelers out on my Nagisa. So if anyone on my flist is interested, just let me know. :)

Shinn/Kira! So cute~ (And that Suzaku keychain is win~ XDDD)

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was pretty amusing. That circle had started off as FragaKira but then with Destiny became huge ShinnKira fans lol Most of their books were gag and had Shinn lusting for Kira who was dense and missing it, Rey frustrated because he wanted Shinn to notice him and Asuran wondering why he had to put up with these people. lol

At some point I will try to get some other pictures of merchandise lol It's hands down one of my favorite parts of going to events and I've been crazy bidding to get things on Y!J. >>;

[ad-exia.livejournal.com]

Ooh, FragaKira is a cute pairing too~ I need more doujinshi fanart of SEED! (XD Kira would be that dense. Aww, and poor Athrun. Life is so hard. XD)

Yeah, they seem to have so much cool stuff! I'd definitely love to see more pictures if you ever get the chance~

[rkold.livejournal.com]

I love when Kira is completely dense. ♥

I prefer ShinnKira to FragaKira lol But I love seeing where and how circles move because sometimes it makes complete sense and other times it leaves you going o_O

I'll see what I can do, I need to spend some time working on sales today and then I need to draw some.

[ad-exia.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's so cute when Kira has no idea what's going on~ XD

Heh, I like either pairing, I think I usually don't mind as long as it's someone I like with Kira. XD;; But you're definitely right, it's really interesting to keep an eye on doujinshi circles and see what they're doing and how they've changed!

Good luck with everything you have to do, then~! :D

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I still have a lot to get done but I made a yummy dinner and baked cookies which were both things I definitely wanted to do! :D

[ad-exia.livejournal.com]

:D Yay! Considering I am hungry, those both sound like wonderful things. XD

[cc-lemon.livejournal.com]

What awesome merchandise! I love this kind of stuff. So much pretty.

Good luck with your sales! Those wings are awesome.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

I do too, and it's sort of more unique because it is harder to find used. Occasionally you'll see something show up, but not all that often. It's like trying to collect copyhons.

Thanks! :D

BTW Kennis and I are watching Tutu now, we just finished the 3rd DVD. I &heart; the outtakes on vol1+2, I think next up is FMA

[cc-lemon.livejournal.com]

Tutu is the best! I'm going to have to marathon it soon!

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Kennis really likes the music a lot. I just like Sakurai XD;;;;

I think AL has been my favorite though of the things we watched.

[jusrecht.livejournal.com]

OMG they're all so cute *_*

I particularly adore the Jeremiah chopstick and the Double Slash 37 bag. Looking at Charles smirking from your plate when you're eating something is scary though...

[rkold.livejournal.com]

I thought you would enjoy the preponderance of Suzaku merchandise. :D Since he's my current favorite I tend to like to buy things of him.

And not the Schneizel soup/ramen spoon? I don't think I could bring myself to ever use it, but when I saw it on Y!J I HAD to have it! The Suzaku chibi on the rim has Arthur with him.

[jusrecht.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do. Thank you so much~ ♥

Er, no, that gives me the same feeling the Charles plate does @_@ I didn't notice it before! ARTHUR <3

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Oh! Were you able to pick up your package?

What you don't want to sip from Schneizel? XD;;; I'm so hoping Comiket has good extras!

[jusrecht.livejournal.com]

Not yet, I didn't have the chance to go today ;_; I thanked you for the pretty pictures so I can gawk at them XD

Unlike Suzaku, I'm not brave enough LOL You're going to Comiket? When is it?

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Ohh OK no problem, I know that feeling myself, I just figured I should ask. :D

The pictures are fun to gawk at, I do that sometimes with my merchandise. >>;

Comiket is always the end of December. I'm not going but a lot of the circles bring their extras to Kansai Comic City where I will shall be selling my doujinshi! :D I shall base my attack plan based on extras and things I want lol Comiket though will give me a good idea of what is coming out. :)

[clair3.livejournal.com]

All of these stuff lookk really good..............>< so tempting.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

The one problem with collecting things is it gets really expensive after the fact to try and track things down. If you get to an event early enough and can get things the freebies are well free, but trying to get things when it is done..

there are two fans I would love to have from Comiket and my chances of getting them are slim ;;_;;

[dilettantka.livejournal.com]

OMG I love the dish really hard XDDD

[rkold.livejournal.com]

And other than shipping from Japan to the US it wasn't as expensive as I expected! lol I think I won the bowl/chopsticks/spoon along with a post card and 2 doujinshi for 3000 yen? It seemed relatively reasonable though one of the doujinshi I didn't want and I'm now trying to sell >>;;

But I needed Chaz... nothing says delicious like Chaz XD;

[chocolate_chip.livejournal.com]

I remember that bag!

BTW, you were sorta thinking about one of the Disneyland Yos. Did you ever decide on that?

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Yes! And it's soooooooo pretty. I thought the most recent one I got at SCC was disappointing. ;;_;;

I think I'm going to have to skip since hobby money is not quite as forthcoming as I would like. ;;_;; I had played with the idea of a Mimi but she just might be too mischievous looking for Nunnally and I don't want to let you miss the chance on a pre-order person.

[ee970.livejournal.com]

...i want a gundam cup ;o;
*has a shota!inui mug?*

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Lelouch would so wear that thong if only it were black!

It just has Kira, Asuran and Lacus on it and is similar to the Geass one except in pink. >>;;; I was like.. MUST own both when I saw them at something, either SCC or Haru, I can't remember now. ;;_;;

OHHHHH Shota!Inui mug==awesome! I have mostly just lamis of tenipuri and the Rivals Alarm clock lol
