Curiosities and variants:
This small PVC figure is one of the first released within the popular Pokemon franchise. Although the collection was originally called “Monster Collection” or “Moncolle” for short, today it is often referred to simply as “Pokemon Tomy”.
It was marketed in different countries and distributed by brands such as “Auldey” or “Hasbro”, so it is not strange to find it in different types of packaging or packs.
The original figures continue to be highly sought after by collectors around the world. However, due to the huge international success of Pokemon in the late 90’s, numerous imitations and bootlegs of this collection appeared, making it even more special to find authentic copies in good condition.
How to distinguish the original figure:
To distinguish the original figures from fakes, carefully examine the photos.
Here are some recommendations that may be useful for this purpose:
- Look at the quality of the sculpture and painting.
- Look for the mark: “Tomy”, “Auldey” or “C.G.T.S.J.” inscribed on the figure.
- The original figures usually have some glitter and/or shading in the paint.
