I'm obsessed with squishies right now and wonder if there are any collectors on the arena? I have a pretty solid collection myself and more are on the way.
Don't know what squishies are? They are, as their name suggests, squishy things. The most common squishies are food replicas, but there are other squishies as well. Here are some gifs that I made when squishing some of my squishies:
Dependning on if you want licenced and branded squishies or unlicenced/unbranded ones it can be an either really expensie or really cheap hobby. I have a little bit of both. The licenced/branded ones are usually much higher quality, softer, squishier and have a really yummy scent. There are some pretty descent unlicenced ones as well though.
Some of the most well known and popular brands are:
Areedy Breadou Café De N Chawa Cutie Creative Eric iBloom JDream Kiibru Puni Maru Sammy the Patissier Sanrio San-X Yummiibear

I've heard about these on Tumblr and Youtube but don't really know much about them. I have this one cellphone charm that might be classified as one but not really sure. I got it in 2008 or so but its a squishy foam version of one of these guys:
I know they are pretty popular among people who collect "kawaii" things but I don't really get why they have gotten THAT popular in the past year or so. They do seem cute none the less. I'd worry about them peeling/deteriorating with age though.

I love squishies! I only have a few of them, though. I'm a bit of a squishy hipster -- I started collecting them years ago when they weren't that big yet. I want to get some of the big huge ones -- like the loaves of bread that are life-sized. :D

I have a my melody cupcake phone plug charm. she's so cute! I had her on my phone for a bit, but i was worried she'd get banged up (i drop my phone a lot) so she's just a decorative piece. I've been thinking of picking up more because i've always really liked stress balls.

Mine are in a box but I think I know where they are? I'll have to go look for them.
