HIDE miniature figure


Dearest fans of HIDE , I apologies for being away for a while.

For all of you who are eager to know more about HIDE, you're in the right place, same is for all those who are simply curious what's those post are about.

I will start the series of posts of today with a very special miniature figure of HIDE which used to be sold on the "Enthusiasm.net" site , not so long ago.

The figure representing HIDE in his PSYENCE outfit is a very realistic reproduction of HIDEKI's real appearance so you could understand why this is so dear to me and why it has a special place in my heart .

Unfortunately the "Enthusiasm.net" site was closed down and reopened for a while under the name of " Addicted.net" , the HIDE's figurine was very popular and completely sold out

shortly before the termination of the site which was hosting the sale. Here it is my HIDEKI figurine wearing the PSYENCE outfit, in all it's splendor, please enjoy :) !

HIDE Stuffed Plushies , the Rare&Limited editions

Everybody loves HIDE, he used to joke "Drink Or Die/Dress Or Die"

and now I return that joke with...Collect Or Die LOL. In this post I will present you some of the rare releases of stuff plushies featuring HIDE.

I know there are many variations of those plushies you might say...but believe me some of them are very rare to find and that's making them even more special.

I am sorry I can't post that often anymore as I used to do it before, but my health is worse and worse, however my heart will always be full of music, full of HIDE, full of LOVE...

here we go, this is for you dear reader and for HIDE! 

I will start with the Christmas Version and the New Year edition of HIDE plushies.

Friendly figures shaped after our loved star's resemblance, faithful cuddling palls...

this toys give you everything,comfort, joy, peace...Imagine a bed covered of a bunch of HIDE plushies waiting for you to

say goodnight, watching over your sleep, guarding your dreams, what can be better than that ?

(and for you those who'd rush to answer " a Godzilla toy" , just think twice how it feels to roll over a plastic thing, puking your bum) .

Here they are in all their splendor those cutie toys " KI" (from HIDEKI ) , the Christmas edition and "TSU" ( HIDETSU ) as the New Year's were nicknamed .

They were pretty big toys measuring up to 46 cm, they were coming in a hard,tall box, along with 2 unique HIDE Museum Illustration books.

When buying the toy you could have win a mini doll with same resemblance as prize ( this made me smile, knowing how much HIDE loved children,

I watch the 2 toys side by side, imagining a child with a parent and in my mind, closing my eyes I recreate a image of HIDE embracing his kid with a father affection...

it feels good ). The Christmas toy comes with a detachable white Santa beard which also amused me :) , I find it dead cute. The New Year's version named OSYOUGATSU

was same 46 cm height, coming as well is cardboard box and also released with an illustrations book. For this edition as well you could have win a mini replica :)

(I simply love them) . Later on at a Memorial Summit, a Tribal Pattern suit wearing HIDE toy was sold .

For the event " HIDE Net Enthusiasm" a Psyence stuffed toy was released. This toy was the subject of a "HIDE Fan Lottery" where it was offered as a special prize .

On the same Lottery event another toy was released as well, you've guessed we're talking about the black jacket and dreadlocks version

( portraying the Saver Tiger/X Japan beginnings look of HIDE ). A third stuffed toy offered for the Lottery was a HIDE doll dressed in snake outfit pattern,

followed of a fourth one named "HIDE Best" . The toy was wearing a trendy golden suit with creative tartan pants (so cute...isn't it ? ) .

The Rocket Dive, Ever Free and Camouflage pattern were the first HIDE stuffed toys ever released, they were named DX and their highly rate sales was actually what motivated

LEMONed to produce all the other coming up versions . Smaller versions of the 46 cm toys were released as well, displaying them side by side creates an illusion of a HIDE

minion army LOL , what you think about that ? . The 2nd release of DX plushies contains outfits inspired of HIDE's

activity with Spread Beaver. I love the Bacteria outfit :), a 3rd, 4rth and 5th edition have followed soon covering all range of suits

and looks from HIDE's videos with some extra little accessories added as the Santa (detachable) Beard

and the rendeer backpack :) . After those rare editions I presented you above a large range of HIDE plushies

have emerged on the market. I will not talk about those now, I only brought you in attention

those who are very rare and little likely to be still found on the market .

HUGS !

HIDE Ever Free Watch


In order to re-edit the great success of the 0707 CITIZEN Watch, and also for pleasing HIDE's fans, a new watch was designed.

The Ever Free Watch came from the "JETS" HIDE fan club, as special offer for the fan-club members and for the fans who craved for a watch as HIDE used to wear.

Baring the logo "HIDE with Spread Beaver" this watch is special too, and easy to maintain, a bit lighter than the other one and complete electronic . I simply love it !

 

HIDE's CITIZEN Watch


We all know how HIDE being a progressive person loved the latest technology in everything. In this post I will talk about a special release watch from CITIZEN .

Hide ordered special for his performance at TOKYO DOME from New Year's Eve between 1997-1998 . It is a lovely watch, a bit heavy since all components are manually fixed as for all proper Swiss watches it contains both digital and mechanical parts and yes you need to remote it every day if you want it to work proper.

I will also suggest not to handle it with water...tough I forgot and washed dishes wearing it and yes still working, please do not drop it...

tough is not that sensitive as you might think...I threw mine various times on the floor, the alarm is also a pest so do not set it if you have problems waking up, that can really set you off ahahah.

HIDE Trading Premium Card

In 2009 at HIDE's memorial commemoration was edited a special trading card.

I say special because although the image was featured before on other trading card (Phantom 3D) releases, this edition is special because was limited at only 1000 copies.

It come in a special case and was pined within a solid display. If you have one of those means you are a lucky son/daughter of your mother LOL, because the card wasn't for sale,

it was offered as price in a kind of contest :) , but who knows if you have the opportunity to buy such treasure that do it, it is rare and valuable I ensure you of that :) . 

HIDE Museum Tomica bus and toy bus replica

Ever since the opening of HIDE Museum in 2000, there was a blue mini-car

which brought around the tourist in a HIDE Tour. The designs on the bus were very cheerful and elaborate, simply enchanting both adults and kids visitors.

Tomica bus become so popular and loved that all the visitors want to snap few shots with it, so it was decided that a 2nd bus in Pink color was more than necessary. Trough everyone's joy, toys replica of the buses were also available at HIDE Museum for a while...

I don't know about you, but looking at those,

I become so nostalgic is as if I can still feel the air messing with my hair and the Yokosuka's breeze smelling like salty fish...how I miss those summer days...they say home is where your heart is, and if is true than home can be more than in one place cause I left bits of my heart in lots of corners of this world...one day I shall return to collect them all back.
