Jopo's slime army

[joponnes]

Thanks & thanks!

[bbobrob]

Congratulations on the twins! Wish them the best of health, and hope you and your wife can catch at least a bit of sleep!

[joponnes]

Thanks! So far sleep hasn’t been on the list of doable things but hopefully that’ll change soon

Big update that i’ve been building for some time and waiting to be able to post it, like mentioned in previous collection update the last pieces took ages to arrive. But here’s my slime army display that i’m very proud of, really enjoying just staring it when i have little moment of peace. Besides being full of beautiful collection pieces it’s also full of memories and items from friends all over the world.

My favourite shelf might be the one full of tiny slime figures, really gives the most concrete meaning of slime army. And i also have to mention the stands i made for the slabs since i made them out of legos and they are just perfect with their looks and sturdiness, will gladly show them better and give instructions if someone wants to also build and use them.

This is such a beautiful assortment! 10/10

[WayneAlanGrading]

These are my favorite kinds of collections to see, such a cool assortment you have here.

[Kijamon]

Looks great, I love that it’s not all just TCG as it adds a lot of character to the display

[joponnes]

Thanks! Yeah, i definitely wanted it as a showcase for non-tcg stuff that can’t be stored in binder since most of this stuff was just in a box before i was able to build the display, but the slabs do make excellent display pieces so wanted to include some of those too

The Pokemon Marble display is just…

[bbobrob]

Awesome update! Seeing the sheer variety of Pokemon products/things out there never gets old. I didn’t realize those perler bead sprites you made were so big!

[joponnes]

Yeah, it got me off guard too how big they ended up being, really weren’t easiest ones to handle and i had to cut and glue some thick cardboard behind them to keep them in one piece when placed vertically like that

[jaws]

The Muk and Grimer in the very back are so cool. What are those made out of? I know I’ve seen it before but I can’t remember the name.

@bbobrob

perler bead sprites

@jaws

[joponnes]

They are hama beads but like mentioned above there are several different brands of the beads with small differences between them, very fun and therapeutic stuff and creates some awesome pixel art! I actually rearranged my display already to show the sprites better sinceit felt they were a bit in the shade

[jaws]

Did you make those, or did someone else?

[joponnes]

I did, like said very therapeutic stuff basically any pixel sprite / art found can easily be done with them, here’s a better photo! I was disappointed that those sprites didn’t get any use in official merch so decided to make my own, i love especially how weird looking the og grimer sprite is

This was a post i was planning to do for a long time but it got postponed until now. My slime collection consists around 95% of my display and my binder collection, so now that i’ve posted my display i also want to save the current state of my binders here. I’ve said it earlier that this thread is for showing my collection to people here but for my own joy i also want to save the journey of gathering my collection to look afterwards all the events, be it big or small. The last time i took photos of my whole slime army was when i originally started this thread so i really wanted to create a post that updates the situation where i’m currently at, especially since i’ve completed my major goals regarding tcg and topps slime. This will be a massive photo dump and i really don’t expect people to go through all of it since, like said, this is partly for my own joy, but i figured some people might as well enjoy seeing a species collector go full all in i have several different binders of different sizes and it was kind of pain to get good photos/light for photographing them all but at least there’s now a decent milestone of my collecting journey here. Some of the cards here i haven’t posted individually yet so i’ll probably highlight them later on their own, but here will be the whole entity.

Starting with my binder collection of all official english and japanese slime cards and cameos, i know a lot of people (including myself) enjoy seeing all the variants side by side.

Highlighting here the 3rd print fossil muk, grail of all official tcg slime cards!

My favourite muk art, also bought a graded copy for my display but will always love a page with so many copies of it

Another ones worth mentioning, unlimited L2 reverse grimer and muk, was really surprised how relatively easily i could find them in the end since i know they are the pain of a lot of collectors

I've said it earlier too but venonat is the toughest cameo there is but in the binder it still belongs :)

Here's actually two cards missing since the play series 3 muk @citriina kindly gifted me hasn't arrived yet :) also when i bought a poke ball reverse muk from 151 the seller accidentally sent me another master ball reverse, so i'll use it as a placeholder until i get myself to buy another one, not complaining for another master ball muk tho :)

My current error slime collection in these two photos, would love to add more in future but this is the part of my collection i'm keeping on hold atm since it would be a rabbit hole with no end if i would dive deeper

Then my foreign language slime cards. Even though i've only aimed in 100% completion of english and japanese i also wanted examples of both grimer and muk in all possible languages which is what this and following photos show.

Here's the tail of foreign cards and the start of my custom slime cards, more in following photo. Also left here a place for four more cards i recently ordered.

In this custom card page also cards of smujj/betobebi, the scrapped baby form of grimer from gold/silver era, poor thing never made it through beta phase :(

And finally the last photo from my tcg binder, not my favourite artwork of grimer but artwork from my favourite artist so wanted all variants in all languages of it.

My pride and joy and the start of my non tcg slime binder, no better way to get me on good mood than opening this binder with this view!

One of my main hunts atm is the missing canadian burger king grimer with clean edges to complete this collection, even though can't complain that right now they make a very nice full binder page :)

Also one of my main hunts was the 1999 variant of this dunkin grimer that's missing here but i finally should have it coming soon!

Another nice spread of two binder pages is my amada (and following companies) slime sticker collection that's also completed afaik :)

Another ones that deserve my special love are these slime playing cards, only 3 missing that i know of

Another ones that are fun to chase are these mini grimer and muk cards with different backs, should take a group photo of them showing the backs since it's super hard to remember what i already have when looking for new ones :)

This was the last photo in this binder of my official section but i will also post these not official ones because i am irresponsible. Some were gifted to me, some i've unknowingly bought and some i've yolo-bought.

Then moving on to binder with all pogs and similar small items thick enough to damage something else if they weren't in more loose binder.

Now moving on to jumbo card sized slime items, or the ones that didn't fit well anywhere else like some sticker sheets. Starting with one of my favourite collection pieces, no other merch piece has gathered so much slime in one place.

Another one of these actually should be peeled to reveal the muk beneath but i haven't figured where i would put the stickers so for now both have stayed unpeeled.

And finally my last binder with postcard (or too big for regular binder) sized items as well as A4 sized items

Two of these don't have any slime in them but didn't have heart to break the trio with such iconic art.

And that about concludes it, hopefully at least some of you enjoyed seeing all the slime in one place, also my apologizes to anyone paying for their data usage.

@joponnes

What is the last one?

Also I’m super happy to see alolan grimer from Uno, great job

[joponnes]

It’s a sleeve from pokemon 20th anniversary! And same, i get always way too excited when they add my guys in these random releases like uno decks since i definitely don’t expect it to ever happen

[citriina]

That was a wonderful read- I loved going through your collection and photos. Excellent job! The sheer amount of work and dedication you’ve put into curating your collection is incredibly inspiring, especially all of the non-tcg pieces.

International shipping times can be a bit of a pain, but I’m hoping the Play! Muk gets to you quickly and safely!
