Spinarak/Ariados
So I don't normally like spiders. Fortunately, these two aren't technically
spiders as far as number of legs go, so they're okay in my 'dex.
Before Pokemon XD, I'd never really used bugs, let alone Ariados. But if there's one thing that game taught me, it was to try new things. Actually, it was thanks to that game that I managed to find a few new favorites.
Ariado's main selling point to me, though, is the mythology behind its name. If you're big on Greek mythology, you'll know of Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos and the girl who helped Theseus slay the Minotaur by giving him a sword and a ball of thread, so that he could find his way back out again.

Hasbro figure - with shootable web
Now if only I could find the shiny version of this toy in good condition! >_<
Shiny Spinarak is one of my favorite shinies.

Zukan
I can see why people love zukans - they're so detailed!
However, I can't justify buying many of them because of the price, and their fragility ;-; I decided to get this one, though, because the spiders don't have much merch. Sadly, Spinarak broke off his web while I was moving my collection back to my shelf. (I kept the web wrapped around the tree because Ledyba was blocking him from view.)

Kids
I do believe these two were my very first purchase on pkmncollectors, and my first kids ever. I was a little surprised at the hollow bottoms, but then I
discovered it makes for easy stacking! >w<

TOMY
I've been looking for Ariados, but to no avail. Anytime I DO find it it's in a ridiculously overpriced lot or is missing one or more of its legs. Poor Ari...
PC metal charms
Held off on getting these for a while because I had no money.
Eventually Rachelled made a huge sales post with lots of charms, so I snatched these up! Thanks so much! <3
I got the old 2009 set from a GA, and the poses are the exact same. I took the new ones out of their packaging, and now they're hanging from my phone!

Pog & Coin
The pog was stupidly hard to photograph. The metal coin is kind of cool.
If anyone knows more about them, I'd love to know more!

I love how we're both spider enthusiasts~

TCG
I don't normally show off TCG unless they're really rare... or if
the rest of my collection of a certain Pokemon is pretty small. ^^;
There's one Spinarak card I'd really like to get - #62/147 of the Aquapolis set.
