Darumaka
(ダルマッカ Darumakka)
Daruma Pokémon
"When its internal fire is burning, it cannot calm down and it runs around. When the fire diminishes, it falls asleep."

I never imagined Darmanitan would get a pre-evolution. For some reason I thought it would always just be him and only him. But then when Pokemon Black and White were released, I saw Darumaka, I did a little squee. It is just SO CUTE. And round. And happy. Just, everything I love in a Pokemon! I'm so glad Darumaka made it into the gen 5 line up.

Darmanitan
(ヒヒダルマ Hihidaruma)
Blaze Pokémon
"When weakened in battle, it transforms into a stone statue. Then it sharpens its mind and fights on mentally."

When I saw this Pokemon in one of the Coro Coro scan leaks, something about it immediately caught my eye. That little spark grew, and now Darmanitan (And the Daruma family) are some of my favourite Pokemon!
Of course that includes Daruma Mode Darmanitan.

-Plush

Pokemon Center Plush

Pokemon Center - 2010

This plush is the first official plush Darumaka got. It's about 15cm tall, just a little smaller than a Pokedoll.
IT'S SO SOFT.
AND SO ROUND.
And even a little bit bouncy!
Picture

Ball Chain Hang Plush

Banpresto - 2011

Oh my god this little guy is ADORABLE. I'm so in love with teeny little plush, and at about 3 inches, this durp nugget is PERFECT. So soft, so SQUISHY. And the face is so adorable!
Ilu Banpresto. <3

Canvas Plush

Pokemon Center - 2012

I've been really trying to cut down on my Darumaka buying of late, since my focus is really more on Darmanitan, but this is something I just couldn't let pass me by. It's the first sleeping Darumaka plush, and the first Pokemon I collect that has gotten its own Canvas plush! I've always loved the soft colour palets of the Canvas series, AND HE'S JUST SO SOFT. Nice and squishy too; much more so than his first Pokemon Center plush (seen above), who's a lot firmer.

Perhaps my favourite Darumaka plush out there.

My Pokemon Collection Darmanitan

Banpresto - 2012

FINALLY HE IS HERE. The "My Pokemon Collection" plush line only available in Japanese UFO machines, with every SINGLE gen 5 Pokemon being made, it seems in all their forms. I'm not sure if that means Zen Mode Darmanitan will be made, but GOD I HOPE SO. For now though. STARE AT THE BEAUTY THAT IS THIS DARMANITAN PLUSH. So many details for such a little plush. It's a little derp (handshandshands), but I love him anyway.

Daruma Line Zukan

立体ポケモン図鑑
Yujin/Takara Tomy ARTS - 2011

FIFTH GEN ZUKANS, WITH THEIR FANCY PANTS PURPLE BASES.

For some reason I keep forgetting how... not red Darmanitan is. Probably because Darumaka is so vibrant.

Also, first figure of Zen mode Darmanitan! Socoolsocoolsocool.
Picture

Darumaka Tomy Figure

TOMY - 2011

The gen 5 Tomy figures have got a slightly different "spin" to them! LOLOLOL./bashed
But no really, these guys come with a little stand and gear, so if you have heaps of them together, you can have a spinning DANCE RAVE.
Looks like he just wants a big hug!
Picture

Darumaka Regular Kid

Bandai - 2011

Wow, first 2011 item. 8D SPIFFY.
This was the first Darumaka Kid (and the first Kid of the Daruma line) made by Bandai.
And like all Darumaka's it is round ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF.

This is also the first Kid I've gotten MIP. Damn that candy was tasty.
Picture

Darumaka Attack Kid

Bandai - 2011

One of my favourite bits of Darumaka merch for certain! I love the determined little stare on his face.

OH. And he's using Rollout. :U Just btw.

New Years Sleepy Darumaka Strap - Normal

Pokemon Center - 2010

Darumaka is even lucky enough to get its own promo! The Pokemon Center has put out a small collection of Darumaka "New Years" items. Here we see one of the two sleepy straps. This is the one that comes with a backing (with such pretty art), that can be used as a bookmark.
This is for srs, such a great strap.

And I can't get over how ROUND IT IS.

Darumaka Netsuke Mascot Strap Figure

ポケモン根付マスコットBW2ダルマッカ
Takara Tomy Arts - 2011

PHONE CHARMS. <3 The Netsuke Mascot line is always really nice looking! This Darumaka is definitely no exception. The only issue I could have with this is the painting's a little off in places. BUT THAT DOESN'T BOTHER ME BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A PRETTY FIGURE.

It was so hard to get that name tag to face the right way omg.
Picture

Darumaka Keychain Figure (?)

Banpresto - 2011

One of those fancy non-plush UFO prizes. Came out with those sexy beasts on the tag.
This keychain is a LITTTTLE durpy. I'm trying to place what it is about it. Maybe it's the fact the smile is just that little too big, or the eyebrows are a little wrong. Idk, but it sure is funny looking.
Picture

Darmanitan Tomy MC Figure

Tomy - 2011

Finally, the Tomy! The details on this figure are spot on, really quite nice. It also seems as if they changed the base slightly since Darumaka, putting little.. holdy things on the gear so it doesn't fall of as easily.
Picture

Darmanitan Regular Kid

ポケモン キッズ
Bandai - 2011

The first Darmanitan figure. <3 This may just be my most favourite Kid in the history of forever. It's ADORABLE. The round body, those stumpy arms, that psychopathic face. ALL PERFECT.
The paint job is a little sloppy BUT I CAN DEAL.

The weird thing is, though this figure was made available in Feb 2011, on the butt it says 2010.
Lolwut.
I totally got this MIP, but I forgot to take a picture of the box WOOPS.
Picture

Darmanitan Pokemon Chupa Surprise Figure

Subarudo - 2011

This Darmanitan Chupa Surprise figure is I BELIEVE from the second Black and White set.
Darmanitan seems to be good at getting stuff from the second set of things.

But this figure, it is so GOOD. Despite only being a few centimetres big, this guy has SO much detail on him, it's really quite incredible. Plus he's got a nice pose here too.
Just struttin' his stuff.
Picture

Darmanitan Clipping Figure

Bandai - 2011

You know, I always have thought Clipping Figures were pretty awesome. They're unique, well made, just all around awesome.
And this is no exception.

Just, take a moment to look at the eyebrows.
You see that?
THEY'RE FREAKING SEE THOUGHT.
I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW COOL THAT IS.

SEE THROUGH.
Picture

Darmanitan Jakks Figure

Jakks - 2011

Jakks, you have created a thing of beauty with this figure. It seems they like to do their figures big, and beautifully detailed, at least when it comes to all the Pokemon I love. The face on this Darmanitan is incredible!

For srs Jakks, you are my bros right now.
Picture

Darmanitan Jakks Pokeball "Catcher"

Jakks - 2011

So apparently Jakks can't do anything in the middle. It's either OH MY GOD SO HUGE, or teeny tiny widdle mini. This figure falls into the second category, with it being the smallest thing in my collection of fire durps, being only a cm or two high!

He's a little durpy, but still pretty impressive for how FREAKING TEENY IT IS.

Darmanitan Retsuden Stamp

Ensky - 2011

Oh wow my first moderised Retsuden Stamp. 8) MY WORD, THIS IS EVER SO FANCY. And really little.
PECIOUSLY LITTLE.

And self inking goodness. <3

Darmanitan Pokeball Metal Keychain

Takara Tomy Arts - 2010

My first Daruma ape merch awwh.
It was taking too long to get any figure merch, SO I BROKE DOWN AND BOUGHT THIS.
This was released in a set with the rest of the more popular Gen5 Pokemon, and the starters AND the game mascots. On the back is a Pokeball design.
