I've got a few Tomy figures and am interested in switching to Kids. Anyone have Kid figures? Is there a place to check on news for upcoming sets?
What Pokemon stuff do you all have?
I know this could be in /vp/ but I'm figuring there are more Pokemon toy people here than in /vp/.

>interested in switching to Kids
i hate those super-deformed finger puppets. and theyre extremely common. pkmncollectors is one place to start finding news, plus someone's always BST-ing their kids collections in sales posts there.
>>5560203
Thanks, haven't checked the BST in awhile.
They don't seem that bad for MSRP, and they don't take up a lot of room. I'd probably only get a few of my favorites, like Typhlosion and Ditto.
What's the best way to get a toy of each of the original 150 pokemon? It bothers my autism that there are so many different lines of minifigures and I just want one consistent line of figures
>>5560325
there is no way. no one line has them all & besides that the scale is all over the place in each. you kinda just gotta grab those you like as you see them on ebay or whatever. some will have to be a finger puppet or a keychain, certain pokes have only shitty representation, in some cases being bootlegs & nothing more.
>>5560355
How did Japan fuck something this simple up? With all the blind bag bullshit going on now, I can't imagine someone in the US hasn't done it already.

It's... glorious. Are those all 1-2 inches tall? And how hard is it to get these?

i have some KIDS, there was a community on livejournal i used to buy them on a few years ago. i think it was called pokemoncollectors
>>5560467
I don't think those are bootlegs actually, they were weird tiny ones you would buy in blind bags. Like half the size of takara ones. I believe i still have Ryhorn from that set somewhere.
Why the fug are zukan so expensive, because they don't look like shit? :^(
>>5560538
>because they don't look like shit?
They can honestly suffer form some pretty bad QC/paint aps, specially the smaller ones.
>>5560538
serious answer: because you can only get them in gacha machines and have a lot of rarities. the holiest of grails is the Wailord, who cant even fit in a gacha machine and was one of those mail-in premiums
>>5560189
the dunsparce Kid is adorable but I haven't found any other Kids that are as cute looking
>tfw tomy never made a figure of your bro
What's their name /toy/?
>>5561470
He's got like 3 Kids figures anyway.
>>5561470
A Pokemon this cool never got a figure.
You would think everyone would want a mummy pokemon
>>5561513
he got a gashapon toy and vinyl so it counts
you ever feel like this board sometimes cries over stuff that they think doesnt exist but probably does given the franchise is from another country and Japan fills in all sorts of niches?
>>5561528
To be fair, some Pokemon get special treatment over others (for obvious reasons). If you're a fan of a particular Pokemon, like Finneon, than you have a lot less choices than if it was someone like Lucario. Not that there are any Pokemon with zero merchandise, but choices are more limited depending on who it is.
>>5561470

>look up durant
>results are basketball player
;_;
>>5561513
he got some pen cases at one point. I was hoping to get one someday and make my own ghostly arms
>>5560467
There were (and still are) bootlegs of those floating around in the early 2000s, but the ones in that image look to be legit.
>>5561691
>tfw anons posting toys of sofubi
I shall always regret not buying the d arts Charizard. What are the chances of a reissue?
>>5561726
I'm going to say about 50/50. Its a anniversary year and Bandai has shown it off with the new Figuarts Pikachu.
Don't buy it for the price it goes by now, trust me, its not worth it. I got it for a decent rape price but QC is so hit or miss and parts just tend to fall off and have to be popped back on. Its annoying to deal with. There will be another, better Charizard toy eventually. Just be ready to wait.
So, with the release of ORAS in 2014, has there been any product of Swampert ? Not the mega, just regular ol' Swampert. It's my bro and I would love to get a good figure or plush of him.
>>5561795
There's this.

fuck that chibi skrunchy thing.
How do you know if a Tomy is bootleg or not
>>5561903
>if its paint and paint apps arent good
>if its only barely close to the design
>the material its made of

>if the first gen 1's dont have that white sugimori shadow
this probably isnt legit then is it, wartortle is solid
Hows your Pokemon collection going
>>5561470
>Tfw no Cradily
>>5561513
he got a cellphone stand with moving gumby arms
>>5561923
I dunno if or where Charizard has that white shadow touch-up, but i never cared for any small version of it
also I see a lot of those master ball packs lately, packed in with different tomy's. I only know theyre supposed to have the unique pack-ins of the kanto starters in their basic and evolved forms, but not their final forms. im not sure if they were supposed to be different regular tomys
>>5561470
They made a Zukan figure of Scolipede, but not a regular Moncolle figure. At least if they did I can't find it. Bootleg companies make them though, so I don't know.
What I really want a nice collectible figures of the human characters. Something along the lines of the old Tomy human figures, but small enough to be put in a blind-pack or sold in themed sets for not too much. Mostly I just want a toy of Luisa, but there are other characters I would buy toys of if they were made.
>>5561726
>>5561732
I reckon the chances might be less than that, which is sad. From what I've heard the D-Arts line didn't sell all that well apart from Charizard and Mewtwo.
The Nendoroid Charizard looks really sweet though, have you thought about him?
>What Pokemon stuff do you all have?
I recently got a nice Detolf, so they're not gathering dust anymore. Looking forward to Red and Green this summer.
>>5561513
There is a special Halloween gasha from not so long ago. It's not big but pretty well made.
>>5562005
Pretty shitty. I actually pulled all my Pokemon out of a drawer the other day just to see which ones I had, all ones I've just randomly gotten at Goodwill or conventions over the years.
Pokemon is one of my favorite things but I've just never really been into the merch because it's so overwhelming. I could try a collection for one particular Pokemon or something but there's just so much crap.
>>5563490
most kids meal toys just dont work in a collection. the Vileplume and and Servine are pretty neat though. It's always a good idea to follow merch during a current/upcoming gen than wait at the end of a previous gen. There are times when something good ends up to be rare later.
>>5562005
Pokemon toys always seemed so shitty growing up.
I've been playing since the start and the only merchandise I own are the D-Arts line. Except for the shitty Pikachu.
>>5560355
>there is no way. no one line has them all
That's not true. The Kids line absolutely does for at least the first five gens (I'm a little out of practice so I don't know about gen VI, but it's gotta be close if not complete), and I'm pretty sure the Tomy monster Collection got all of the original 151 done (but by no means all 721+).
>>5560704
Hi.
>>5563555
I felt the same way. Nothing has felt worth buying until recently, but man has the new stuff been great.
>>5563594
The only difference between the old stuff and the new stuff is bigger boxes. You still got your limited articulation, unfaithful designs, and horrendous scaling.
>>5563640
I don't really mind the lack of articulation and I don't know what you mean by unfaithful. Newer stuff have much better sculpts and paint apps that don't look look like shit.
Where can I find an Ampharos which is in scale with the Moncolle Empoleon? I know there was a Moncolle Ampharos from Gen II but I have no idea where to find one since it's so old. Nothing on eBay.
There's an articulated Mega Ampharos but I think it might be too large. Not sure though.
>>5561478
Is that a picture of an actual figure? If so I want one.
I got some sort of bad for people trying to find the Jirachi 20th plush.
Unlike Celebi who has its own item number, Jirachi's is shared with Pikachu. So if you ask your store to check their system, it will show the count for Pikachu as well.
They are not register locked, but some stores are holding them for the April 2nd in-store event.
>>5563994

Where do you even find this news
I got mew but where do i get celebi fuck

But yeah, one of my stores is sitting on two boxes they won't put out until April 2nd.
>>5564026
Celebi's been out since the last week of February exclusively at TRU.

>>5564026
Toys R Us is having a second Pokemon card trading event on April 2nd, and also giving Meowth and Clefairy promo cards. The date was even advertised at the Pokemon Day event in Feb.
For US stores, idk about Canada's or elsewhere.
>>5564101
Canada is every month with a new card.
>>5564097
hOLY SHIT i'm retarded it's the R web number
>>5564097
R web, which is what the inventory page goes by. Even though the UPCs are different, searching by UPC brings up Pikachu and Jirachi as one entity.
>>5564115
That would explain why they're being released early.
>>5560467
Somebody say bootlegs?
>>5564128
>>5563581
...Looks like I'm getting my second Kid figure then. That's adorable.
>>5564285
ignore the fact that it's just a hollow shell when you see it from the bottom
>>5563555
I have the D-Arts line too, and they feel like the kind of action figure toys Pokémon should've had when I was a little kid. Although I'd have broken Charizard and Blastoise in no time, so maybe it's not such a bad thing…
>>5563640
For sure the scaling can be a bit hit or miss sometimes. But the recent figures have had great sculpts and paint apps and the Nendoroids have been a really nice addition, too.
>>5564288
You mean, like his Dunsparce and every other kid figure around?
I got this at Walmart this morning. Didn't even know it was out. I remember when it was solicited there was a Greninja figure shown too. Is that out yet?
>>5563490
Go for the Breloom collection, my man. Already got two in the bag, AND he's obscure enough not to have a million figs to track down. Commence the mushroom raptor love shrine!
>>5568044
holy shit what is this line called? been looking to get a few pokemon recently.
>>5568044
To you, or anyone that owns this; how likely is it that the hands are able to pop off without damaging the figure? Bought a Majin Bone Hi No from the latest HLJ sale for the express purpose of giving his hands to Machamp. I hope the color matches well enough...
>>5568194
I might have to, he's my favorite grass-type.
>>5568044
His release was a surprise to me too, alongside M-Absol and Banette. I believe the rest will come out in June then august
>>5568239
I tried pulling off one of mine, but it seems to be in there pretty tight. it was about to tear off, it seems. also Majin Bone's hands are way too big and lighter in color
>>5569480
Might get that M-Sableye for my small shit shelf.
Maybe Zygarde as well, for the top of my shelf, if it doesn't look like cheap shit.
Yoooo negros, wazzup?
>>5571161
What's that?
>>5571169
IT'S PIKACHU!!!!!
>>5568044
I can't find this fucker anywhere. I need it.
>>5571161
>two Pokemon that already have Arts
Thanks Megahouse.

The Kids toys are so cute. There's so many variants and different poses for certain Pokemon.
>>5571169
Looks like they'll be making Variable Action Heroes from Pokken Tournament. There's a pretty good roster, so maybe some nice Pokemon will come out of it. I guess they'll go with the realistic style too. Wish they'd lessen the ridiculous scale they've got going though.
>>5571161
Is this the same line as those one piece figures?
If so these things are going to be large and expensive. Since it's pokken I hope they do sceptile, would kill for an articulated figure of that.
>>5571289
From the description on that page, yes, looks like that's what these will be.
Just saw a lone Espurr at a local TRU. also they had some 2" goomba,Cat Toad and piranha plant figures nearby...but no Tingle
>>5571204
This. If they wanted to make a Mewtwo figure, they shouldve done Shadow Mewtwo
>>5561923
>>5562587
I'm gonna be a bro and tell you guys why this set in the picture is fake. For starters anything that has the two diamond logo which says auldey or some form of it is fake goods. Second of all the Chinese text and random serial code on the top is a dead giveaway that it's fake as well.
>>5571527
Pretty sure it's not in the game, but I would've loved to see a figure of Mewtwo in that armor from the first movie.
>>5573350
Auldey is just the Chinese company that licensed the figures.
Not everything Chinese is fake.
It's similar to Takara toys in Korea being licensed by Sonokong.
>>5573350
Auldey is actually a chinese distributor (or hong kong?), kinda like how Bandai handled Jakks toys in europe, Hasbro handling Tomy for the US, and how Sonokong handles certain brands in Korea. anyway, I remember back in high school, theyd mix Tomy and Auldey brands on the same shelf in various stores. There was even a Zoids section were it was Tomy's and Hasbro's stacked upon each other.
For buyers who really needed to know, distributors would always put this "MediaLink" sticker on Japanese toys as a brand of authenticity. the branding seemed pretty strict too since recognizeable bootleg toys never had the sticker. All the toys I've bought with that sticker were all of good quality too.
The stickers apparently have lost their pedigree and even appear on reproduced old pokemon toys which have lost their quality as well
>>5561470
>tfw no Haxorus
I want to get a collection of Pokéballs. Which ones look the best and have a wide variety of types of Pokéball?
>>5561470
Houndoom.
I compiled all the 6 inch scale Mewtwo figures I'm aware of.
I still want this aromatisse sadly I can't find people shipping it to my country
Finally managed to find a Walmart that stocked figures and not just the small 3 packs or the anniversary Pikachu sets.
I'm glad Takara Tomy finally got off their on Mega Pokemon a little and released Machamp articulation is pretty good, could be better along with slightly open fist hands.
