MY REAL-LIFE TENMA SHRINE!
This page will be used to document my merchandise collection in as much detail as possible.
This will take a while to be completed, and I'll gradually work through each item in my own time. Enjoy it!
SAN-EI S-SIZE PLUSH
RELEASED: OCTOBER 2013
ACQUIRED: VIA EBAY, JAN 2015
The white whale to end all white whales, it's the San-ei Galaxy Tenma plushie! This is my favourite Tenma of them all; his face looks so funny and he's just perfectly squishy. I was incredibly lucky to buy this plushie back in 2015 before the price skyrocketed, and I've taken good care of him ever since. I believe he was around $30 when I bought him. Somehow, he's still in okay condition despite the fact I used to sleep with him and take him outside often. This was the second piece of Tenma merchandise I ever purchased, so he has a very special spot in my heart. He still has all of his tags! I would love to own a second one some day.
UPDATE..!!
AQUIRED: GIFTED/VIA MERCARI JAPAN, NOV 2024
Finally, my dream has come true! The second San-ei Galaxy Tenma plushie! I was searching for Tenma's Sanrio collaboration merch when I saw this plushie for a ridiculously low price (for him, anyway). He'd just been posted and I was able to get him before anyone else. Half of his price was gifted to me by a friend as an early Christmas present, so I'm really happy. I love looking at the small differences between him and my original plushie. The original is one of my most sentimental items, so being able to have a second version means a lot to me. His condition is brilliant; he's really soft and he has all of his tags well kept. The seller said he'd been in storage for many, many years, so I feel happy to have finally given him a loving home.
SAN-EI MASCOT PLUSH (RAIMON UNIFORM)
RELEASED: OCTOBER 2013
ACQUIRED: VIA MERCARI JAPAN, SEPT 2024
Another absolute favourite, and a plushie I'd been chasing for a long time. He's quite similar to the bigger San-ei plush, but something about his little face and small size is just so cute to me!! He's absolutely perfect for carrying around, and I keep him with me every day in his own special bag to keep him safe and clean. He was a previously cared for item, and no longer has his tag, but it means he works better for photos so that's fine with me. After I bought this plushie he was initially rejected at Japanese customs due to a weighing error, so I'm eternally grateful he was able to get here in the end. I hope to one day get the Galaxy version to complete the set.
FURYU PLUSH STRAP
RELEASED: DECEMBER 2013
ACQUIRED: GIFTED, DEC 2022/VIA MERCARI JAPAN, AUG 2024
Why two? Why not! I really love this little pocket-sized Tenma. My first is the one with the tag, given to me as a gift. Sadly I loved him a little too hard and you can see his colours faded a little on his socks, but he's been all over the place with me! He's been across the UK, Japan, Okinawa, Korea, and wherever else he went before I was gifted him. No matter how faded his socks might be, I think that makes him eternally quite special. I bought the second Tenma bundled together with a Tsurugi plushie from the same set. Despite having no tag, he's in otherwise really great condition! I love the cute style of these plushies.
SENTINEL LEGEND PLAYER FIGURE
RELEASED: JANUARY 2013
ACQUIRED: VIA EBAY, DEC 2014/BOUGHT FROM A FRIEND, JAN 2023
The first Tenma I ever bought, since I wanted him to match with my Endou figure from the same set. He's incredibly sentimental to me for this reason as he sat on my desk for many years, and was there with me when I first finished the 3DS game. I really like this figure; it's a nice size without taking up too much space, and he still has his box on display in my Tenma shrine. I bought the second figure from a friend who was looking to clear out some space and I've kept him safe in his box! It's nice being able to own two copies when it comes to figures for this reason. As mentioned, I have the matching Endou and Tsurugi from this set, and I like how their bases slot together, making them really satisfying to display next to each other.
MEDIA FACTORY FIGURE COLLECTION DX TRADING FIGURE
RELEASED: NOVEMBER 2011
ACQUIRED: GIFTED, JUNE 2015
I had to do some digging to remind myself of where I got this figure. It turns out he was gifted to me by another member of the Inazuma Eleven fandom back in 2015. It makes me feel nostalgic to think about. This figure is very small and his painting is rough, but I think it adds to his cuteness. Just look at that blank stare, it captures Tenma so well! Honestly, I feel so endeared to this little guy. I really like carrying this figure in my pocket when I need some extra good luck, and I have the Tsurugi from the same set. He can't stand upright without leaning on Tenma so I always display them together.
"LET'S HOLD HANDS" LIMITED EDITION CD BOX
RELEASED: OCTOBER 2012
ACQUIRED: VIA MERCARI JAPAN, AUG 2024
This is a really nice CD box containing the second ending theme for the Chrono Stone anime, sung by Terasaki Yuka, Ohara Takashi, and Kitahara Sayaka! I really love this ending; it's my favourite in the whole series, so I'm really happy it had a release like this. The artwork on the box is really cute, with the three of them holding hands. The box came with a random mini figure of Tenma, Tsurugi or Aoi, and this one came with Tenma! I have Tsurugi from the same set, that I received as a gift at a convention in June 2024.
ENSKY POCKET TISSUE COVER
RELEASED: OCTOBER 2012
ACQUIRED: VIA MERCARI JAPAN, OCT 2024
This is a bit of a random one, but isn't the design so cute? I think the colours are really nice to look at. I'll probably never use this for holding tissues but my small Tenma plushie fits into the space in the back quite nicely. It's his bedma, you could call it. If I'm ever able to make an itabag I might stitch this into the background, but until then it's just a unique item to add to my collection.
MEDIA FACTORY RUBBER TRADING STRAP
RELEASED: FEBRUARY 2014
ACQUIRED: GIFTED, MAY 2015
A truly unsolved mystery is how I ended up with three of these things. If this page didn't make it obvious, I try to keep track of where my merch came from, but every time I look through my storage boxes I seem to find another one of these little guys. After performing a bit of a deep dive, I could gather the first was a birthday gift from 2015! He's been on my 3DS ever since, alongside an Endou strap from an older set.
GRAFFART SPRING VERSION STANDEE
RELEASED: APRIL 2024
ACQUIRED: VIA YAHOO FLEA MARKET, APRIL 2024
A new GraffArt collab for Galaxy in 2024?! I was on the phone when I first saw the artwork for this set drop and I could hardly talk! I think the whole set is really cute, so I was very happy to grab this Tenma standee right away. I like merchandise of characters in different outfits and art styles. InaGO doesn't have much of this at all, so it was a nice treat! I really like the big bubbles on this one. It's the first standee I've ever bought, and he's really fun to take photos of in the springtime especially.
TAKARA TOMY CLIMAX ARTS TRADING FIGURE
RELEASED: NOVEMBER 2011
ACQUIRED: GIFTED, OCT 2023
This Tenma was a gift from a friend alongside some other various InaGO goodies. I think this one is really cute (like all Tenmas - have you noticed I find them all cute yet?) and it's a nice little cheap trading figure. It makes me wish there were larger, more detailed figures of the Gryphon trio with their Keshin. It would be so cool! I like how this one is framed though, with Pegasus' wing alongside Tenma's little action pose. It's pretty nice! As usual, I have Tsurugi's from the same set.
ENSKY CHARA-POS COLLECTION 2 POSTER
RELEASED: MARCH 2012
ACQUIRED: GIFTED, DEC 2022
This Tenma poster was gifted to me in a Christmas package by a friend so I really treasure him! I put him up on the clear side of the bookcase beside my bed, so I get to see Tenma every morning to cheer me on. I like the simple designs for these long poster sets, and I'd love to get more in the future if I can find them for sale some time. I think Tenma looks really cute in this art. He looks really happy, and I like how his name is in the background behind him. The kanji for his name is really nice! I also like the blue and white colours a lot.
PASELA SOCCER BATTLE CAFE CAN BADGE
RELEASED: FEBRUARY 2013
ACQUIRED: GIFTED, APRIL 2016
Tenma's Keshin Armed is my absolute favourite design of all time. I love the colours, I love the huge wings, the fingerless gloves thing going on, I really really really love it. I wish there was more merch of it, but this badge will do! I'd like to find a rosette to frame this one someday. I did some research and Tenma's drink at this cafe collab was green, served in a glass shaped like a shoe. Apparently it tasted like medicine. I wish I could've gone to one of these events!
