You have quite the collection my friend. Welcome to the comm!
I see that you also collect PR megazords like me. They look awesome!

[teppi2504]

Thank you! I'd love to see your PR megazords collection!

They are on my fb page, Coleccionista GT.

All of this is so aesthetically pleasing! The colour and size co-ordination *scream*

[teppi2504]

Thank you!! It really feels satisfying to look at the display :D

Welcome!

Ruby was my first game too :) Love your figure display setup; especially all the Groudon. Looks great!
That Darkrai figure is one of my favorites! It's got a very cool base.

[teppi2504]

Thank you! I usually don't collect figures with base but this Darkrai is exceptional! It's also one of my favorites.

Welcome!
You have an awesome collection!

There's some items in existence that I think you would probably like.
They're all fan-made zukan figures, at scale 1/40. They're a continuation of the zukan series, since the official ones were discontinued. These Chinese fan-made ones though, are of better quality xD

PokeStudios 2: Charmander line

[teppi2504]

Thank you for providing me with this list! I've only found out about their existence recently and they're really hard to find. Most of them are pre-order figures and the studios only make them for a short period of time. I really like these studio made figures since they are all high quality. My favorites are the Groudon and Arceus lines.

So far I've only managed to buy the Shiny Groudon, Palkia GK, and Giratina Origin Forme figures. I wish I knew about their existence earlier :(

You're welcome!
I collect these and keep a close eye on whenever a new set is announced. Even just finding the original listing pictures can be hard after the listing's over.
Of the ones I listed I have Rayquaza, Mega Rayquaza, Kyogre, Dialga. With Giratina, Arceus, Primal Kyogre pre-ordered, and maybe a 2nd hand Groudon coming, it's not really clear yet whether my Taobao agent managed to buy it or not.
Your best bet for finding them is on Taobao's 2nd hand site, just a proxy like Bhiner to be able to have it shipped to wherever you live, unless you live in China, in which case you don't need Bhiner :p
Ebay sometimes has some pop up too 2nd hand. The new ones there though, from seller cosmile_time, and cosmile_punk are sold at like twice the price you pay on Taobao, so I advise against that unless you can't find it elsewhere.
Sometimes one of em shows up on Yahoo Auctions Japan, but that's pretty rare.

Thanks for the info!

Do you have any tips on how to search for these Zukan figures on Taobao or Bhiner? I'm just trying to find out their names in Chinese so I can search for them on Taobao.
