Curiosities about the toy and variants

This small PVC figure is one of the first released within the popular Pokémon franchise. Although the collection was originally called "Monster Collection" or "Moncolle" for short, today it is usually known simply as "Pokémon Tomy."

It was marketed in different countries and distributed by brands such as "Auldey" or "Hasbro," so it is not unusual to find it in various types of packaging or packs.

The original figures continue to be highly sought after by collectors around the world. However, due to the enormous international success of the series in the late 1990s, numerous imitations and bootlegs of this collection appeared, making it even more special to find authentic copies in good condition.

To distinguish the original figures from the fakes, examine the photos carefully. Here are some recommendations that may be useful for this purpose:

Tips for detecting bootlegs:

  • Look at the quality of the sculpture and painting.
  • Look for the brand name: “Tomy,” “Auldey,” or “C.G.T.S.J” inscribed on the figure.
  • The original figures are usually painted with gradients and/or shading.
