Ho-oh
The phoenix is one of the most popular mythological creatures, and for good reason. It represents rebirth, strength, and hope, and it shines with all those beautiful colors. Of all the fictional phoenixes, Ho-oh is my favorite.
Ecruteak City was always my favorite place in Johto, chalk full of mythology and history. I absolutely loved the lushness and color added to the city in the HeartGold/SoulSilver remakes. The autumn scenery as you approach the Brass Tower just makes you wish you were at a shrine in Japan.
The decision to collect it started with the discovery of the amazing PC bird plush... which I've yet to obtain, sadly. I debated between it and the giant TOMY plush for so long that I ran out of time to get one.

Pokedoll
My second pokedoll ever - I LOVE the tag art!
My boyfriend went to NY on vacation, and I
requested a pokedoll - either Ho-oh or Mew. He got me both...
but didn't tell me about Ho-oh until he came back.
Not sure who's cuter - my boy, or this cute little bird. <3

PC plush
This was my 23rd birthday present to myself.
At first, I was pretty turned off by this plush. Preferred the Tomy version
because of the smaller talons. Still, this is a beautiful plush, and so soft!
If it wasn't such an awkward shape, I'd cuddle the heck out of it.
I find it's hard to get a picture of this plush because it likes to fall over. -.-;
That being said, pictures don't do it justice. It's gorgeous.

Petit charm (custom)
One of two charms I commissioned from ~Sexual-Pancake.
I debated between some of my favorites before finally deciding
on Ho-oh, and I'm super pleased with how it came out! You can't
really tell in the picture, but the yellow tail feathers have yellow paint
detailing on the tips. It also has a little gold bell on the ribbon where the petit
attaches to the charm - a perfect touch!
I fully intend to commission a few other Pokemon from her in the future.

TFG
Even though it's not pictured, this is my only TFG
that I bought with the spinning base included.
The addition of this TFG to my collection means I'm only missing only one more TFG of my
favorite Pokemon that was released - Spinarak.

DX Tomy
I love how true to the original design this figure is.
It's got some minor wear and tear, but still looks great!

Kaiyodo HeartGold Preorder Figure
I bought this long after HG/SS came out.
Ended up preordering SoulSilver for myself, but didn't get
the Lugia figure because EB Games ran out of them. :(
But that's okay, they're still easy enough to get.
Anyway, next up is the Ho-oh TFG, which I didn't even know
existed till a few months ago.

Bootleg figure - aka Derpywings
I got this hilariously cute bootie from eBay for only 50 cents.
Couldn't help myself. Had under $2 in eBay bucks that were
about to expire, and I wasn't about to put them towards anything else.
Tempted to get a second one for a shiny repaint.

Kid
Poor guy's definitely seen better days - there are paint
chips all over him, especially on his beak and feet.
That's okay, he's definitely not the most loved item in my collection.
I might see if I can get someone to paint him shiny for me, that would be kind of cool.

Rubber charm (DS stylus)
As noted above, this is the charm from the DS stylus.
I have another preferred stylus though, so I took this charm off
of the one it came with and put it on my phone to replace
the metal ones that were starting to drive me a little mental. xD;
Now it's just Ho-oh and a metal Meowth.

Metal coin
Before I bought my first metal items, I never realized what people meant
when they say how heavy these are.
This goes for both the coins and the figures.

Dog tag
Love the art on this. Tempted to turn it into some
kind of cool charm with matching beads.

TCG binder
Have I mentioned how GORGEOUS this art is??
Walmart had these on clearance, so naturally, I had to grab one!
(Lugia is on the other side, but pfft. It's all about the phoenix!)

Sticker
Part of a sticker sheet that includes several other smaller
Johto Pokemon stickers. Kind of wish Pikachu wasn't in this one, but eh.

Large sticker
This was a surprise freebie from the ever-generous hebitheivan! <3
I believe this is out of the HG/SS sticker book?
Moot point I suppose. This thing is sooooo-ho-ohhhhhh awesome! xD

Memo paper (?)
Another mystery 'disc', and the reason why I think it's memo paper.
Seriously considering making something out of this.
