Eevee and Vulpix figures (from Pokemon)
Just some little figures I got because they were cute. The one Eevee I actually took off a keychain. I like the clear Vulpix the best. They're rather cheap so they're not all that spectacular.

Kurama (from Yu Yu Hakusho)
No picture. Just regular Kurama with red hair and the horrible pink shirt and pants outfit (man I wish they'd put him in other stuff more often, I hate that one.) Snagged it from a discount bin. Its a pretty cool figure, looks decent, but not very posable. Its one of those that you can turn the arms and legs, but it looks silly in any other poses mostly and doesn't stand up that well. He comes with a vine whip and rose. I wish they'd make a figure of his white youko form, now THAT would be cool.

Kyuubimon (from Digimon)
Came with a neat game card
I like this figure quite a bit, its one of my favorites. There was an original that had just the white painted tails but the clear blue looks way cooler (I guess its a variant.) The figure is pretty posable (legs, head, and tails) and came with two little clear blue fireballs (that actually have little faces on them) but you can't really do anything with them. 

Kyuubimon- digivolves to Taomon (from Digimon)
No picture for this one. Its pretty cool though. I gotta give the designer some credit for figuring how to essentially make a transformer for two so different forms. Its not the greatest thing ever, the transforming Renamon looks better but then again both forms for that are humanoid.

Renamon- digivolves to Sakuyamon (from Digimon)
This is a pretty neat figure- I like things that transform and it was nicely designed. It has its flaws but is a good toy and is pretty big and decently posable. I don't know of any other nice Renamon figures. Only big thing I didn't like is Sakuyamon looks pretty masculine to me, and she's supposed to be female. This was the first Digimon figure I ever got.

Sakuyamon (from Digimon)
Little picture that came with it
This is a cheap little figure. I only picked it up because I saw it in the clearance bin at Toys R Us. I couldn't even get it to hold its arm up with the staff.

Shippo Sleeping on a Fox (from Inu Yasha)
This is a really adorable little figure that came in one of those plastic bubbles. It was just too cute to pass up.

Tails (from Sonic the Hedgehog)
I think this figure is really cool. He came with a little gold ring and nifty stand (tho I can never get him on it properly, but who cares he stands on his own.) Very posable and just all-around cute.

Taomon (from Digimon)
This actually ended up being just a cheap plastic toy and not as cool as I thought, so I didn't bother taking a picture.

Shippo UFO doll (from Inu Yasha)
Just a cute little Shippo that I picked up while at a convention.

Tails posable plush (from Sonic the Hedgehog)
This is just a really cool plush! Its pretty big and has wire coils in it so you can actually pose him, he has coiled wiring inside his limbs so he stays in place. Not that hug-able, but a really nicely-made plush. Even stands (or sits) on his own, fairly heavy.

Vulpix KFC plush (from Pokemon)
I only got this because it was the only plush of Vulpix I know of and I got it cheap. It doesn't look all that good, but its still moderately cute.

Bobble-head Yellow Fox
This is a really cute little ceramic fox my boyfriend got me at a little anime/oriental shop in Orlando. I'm not quite sure what it says on his heart but I think its something like "let's be good friends."

"I'm a fox" Magnet
Okay, this is really random, but this is a magnet I found and thought was really cute. Its also a bit how I was drawing my stylized fox t-shirt design.

Kitsune original sketch by Andi Watson (from Skeleton Key)
I got this one because it was just too cool to pass up- spent only like $8 on it on ebay. This was something someone had gotten during a con from Andi Watson (sure wish I could meet him!) The left part is a promotional print and the right part is the sketch he did.

Shippo keychain (from Inu Yasha)
Just a cute little keychain I picked up. His little fireballs actually glow in the dark ^_^.

Shippo keychain 2 (from Inu Yasha)
No picture. This is a smaller one with him holding a top.

Vulpxc keychain (from Pokemon)
This is a basic hollow orange plastic keychain of Vulpix sitting, but very cute. Was a gift from a friend ^_^.
