Merch. Merch! MERCH!!
Jan. 22nd, 2007 02:35 pmAs I have said before, Abbi and Susi love My Neighbor Totoro.
Yesterday morning, Susi on her own initiative went and found the DVD and brought it to me so I could put it on, and both girls sat and watched intently, often giggling with great glee.
It's Abbi's birthday coming up, and Mim and I thought that it would be nice to get a Totoro toy for her. A stuffed Totoro, for example, or a catbus. We know that stuff like this exists, as we have seen it in, e.g., the dashboard of cars belonging to asian first-years.
So we went looking.
The nearest we've come is that Animasia on Grattan st. has two stuffed Totoro dolls ... for $95 each.
We love Abbi immensely, but that's a bit rich. So: does anyone know where we can get our hands on reasonably priced Totoro Merch, suitable for a 4-year-old?
And, yes, we've looked at eBay and 1) the only stuff was sourced in Hong Kong (and we've been burnt buying things from OS before and not getting it), and 2) I really don't like eBay. At all. Really.
