That is so cool! Congratulations! I remember seeing these at stores as a kid. A lot of the ones in your collection, I don't remember seeing EVER so I imagine tracking a few of them down must have been a headache. :)
Thanks a lot! I really tried to make it look nice, I wanted a background that looked like a holo Pokemon card!
I remember seeing empty boxes of them, MAYBE one or two Psyducks. lol Back when the Pokemon craze was at its peak and stores had such trouble keeping stock, that they would order and stock Japanese releases to try and meet the demand. I didn't even know half of these existed until I joined here a few years ago!
From what I've seen, Gyarados is the rarest from kanto. (Mareep is the rarest from johto) A few others that seem to be rare/uncommon : Mew, Onix, and Pidgeotto. I ended up buying a huge ebay lot recently that had almost everyone i was missing. (it also had most of the ones I already had. lol)
I know... .. as a kid I just assumed they were always "sold out" of Charmander at the store. They also left Chikorita and Ho-oh out of the johto set, the bastards. lol
Omg, yes, they finally arrived! :D Was everything okay with them? I hope so! Did you enjoy the chocolate and the little note? :) I am really glad I could help you and love seeing your completed collection <3
They arrived yesterday! =) They were perfect, I really appreciated that you cleaned them all. <3 did you sew one of the Mew tails back together? It looked like it had been sewn back, if so that was very kind of you! I had to put the chocolate in the freezer ( I think I prefer it cold anyway) and I ate it in one sitting. lol it was very good and different, thanks for including it!
Thank you so much! Even besides helping with getting the plush, your kind words helped motivate me to not give up and complete my set. i appreciate that most of all! =)
I remember seeing these guys in Dollar Generals way back. I always loved going to that store because they had Pokemon stuff! lol I'd carry my Raichu with me everywhere. Are you collecting the Treat Keepers as well?
I felt the same way about Blockbuster video back then, they always had something Pokemon related!
Nahh I actually don't like treat keepers very much. lol In the duplicates picture above, you can see my treat keepers... I have one Charizard and one Jigglypuff. Do you still have your old Raichu? I still have my original Dratini, but my original Poliwhirl was sold in a garage sale by mistake. Doh!
The Treat Keepers look so similar to the beanies. I used to have a few of each, but no doubles to actually compare the differences. I do like the beanies more, though.
Yes, I still have my Raichu! I freed his tail when I was a kid because real Raichus don't have their tails stuck to their legs. lol I have a small Rai collection, and he was my first, and still one of my favorites.
