Pokémon collection

[violetcyrene]

Hi! This is Cyrene speaking, a 19-year-old Finnish art student and more importantly, long-term Pokémon fan! I have played the games and watched the anime since I was a child (like most of the collectors) and I used to buy all the merch I was able to find from local stores. At some point I simply stashed all my Pocket Monsters out of sight since

Hi! :) sorry for posting here but my PM is not working. Just want to say I loved your spring picture with your Poke Plush enjoying strawberries gave me a sudden crave for some c: I just had a quick question. I got that terrokian (hope I spelt that correct) pokedoll, but I'm not sure if it's real or a bootie :c I got it for real cheap on eBay from a US seller and they didn't seem sketchy and said it was authentic, but I want to make sure and wondered if you had any advise to tell if it's authentic c: sorry to bother you. I'm just a little worried and have been looking for someone with the same pokedoll c: thanks for taking the time reading this and for any reply and help.

No problem, I'm glad you messaged me! ^-^ Aww, thank you so much, photographing is one of my favourite hobbies so hearing that makes me very happy ♡

Hmm, that's interesting! Terrakion Pokedoll isn't very rare or sought after I think, so it doesn't seem too suspicious. You could send me a picture of your plush if you get a change? I can take some more photos of mine today if it helps :3 It is a Japanese version though, so the tush tag will be different. It has been played with a bit I think, as I buyed it in used condition. I hope can help you identify it! There are a bunch of bootlegs on ebay unfotunately, but if a seller claims it's authentic, it should be, right? :/

Hi! Sorry for not replying earlier I just got caught up with some stuff and forgot :P thanks for your reply! I know he's not a rare pokedoll :) but I got him for 7$ and he even came with a Pokemon center oshawott plush. I thought it was pretty cheap so I was wondering and hopeing it was real and I just got a little lucky :) and hopefully the seller didn't make a false accusation XP

I'll post pics as soon as I can c: I'd definitely love to compare and see. And also I'm not even sure if it's American or Japanese.....since I was never really into plush collecting and I can't tell them apart (oops :/) so helping me identify that as well would be awesome XD

Agian thanks!! For helping me I appreciate it :) I'll post pics when I can ^•^

Hi :) sorry it took so long, but I got some pics. I don't know, but if mine is real I think he's the Japanese version but idk :P here's the pics and sorry if they're bad XP not a good photographer like you lol

Hello! I'm also sorry for taking such a long while to reply! I understand, I've had lots of school related things to do lately x_x

Ohh you got Oshawott plush too for such a good price? Based on the pictures, I'm pretty sure your Terrakion is legit, so that was a very nice deal! Yours is certainly the Japanese version as the US doll got a different hang tag. The shape, the detailing, fabric colours and the facial expression all indicate that your plush is legit, in my opinion! I searched these images of bootleg Terra dolls for comparison:
