Manene Collection

 

Bandai Kids

Picture
I have way too many of these. Luckily, I think there's only the four poses so far.

I've finally found the non!clear punching one, but I've yet to take a group picture. It'll happen some day~

Jakks Figure and Marble

Picture
Though Jakks tend to be incredibly common, these two were nearly impossible to track down! For some reason no stores were stocking it, and even on ebay the cheapest available was $24 before shipping. Without the marble.

Luckily they finally showed up on pkmncollectors. With different sellers, even. But they're reunited now, so that's great.

Chou Get

Picture
One of the first figures I got!

Strangely, every time I see the sales post I got him from and notice the other one's still left, I can't help but wonder why I didn't buy both.

Kaiyodo Bottle Cap Figures

Picture
Released as, like almost all Mime Jr items, a movie 8 promotion.

From what I've heard, these were only available at 7-11 stores?

Tomy Magnetic Figure

Picture
I don't know much about this one. It's not the normal Tomy, for sure.

Both of its feet are magnetic -- and it's a pretty strong magnet -- so it can either stand on top of the Pokeball, or have the Pokeball behind it.

Basic Fun Pokeball Keychain

Picture
Like most American Pokemon items, a lot harder to track down than I expected!

When I finally got him, it wasn't even a sales post, but just some amazing user on pkmncollectors that happened to have one and work out a price for me.

Bobblehead, Bell Figure, and Suction Figure

Picture
Found the first two through separate sales posts. The suction cup figure was part of a GA.

To be honest, I don't know much about these merchandise series either. I don't believe any are promo items, though. All three seem to have completely different pokemon in their sets, from what I've seen so far.

Bandai Flip Top Catcher

Picture
This was a tricky one to get.

I've never seen it on ebay or pkmncollectors, so I had to use amazon. And since I'm in Canada, the site decided to add about $45 to the shipping cost.

Instead, I got the help of one of my most awesome friends in the states, so it was only $11 total~

Small Figures

Picture
Keshipoke, Footprint figure, Palace figure, and Zukan.

So tiny, and so easy to lose, so I store them in the Minikan tin.

Various Figures

Picture
I think the middle one in the picture to the left is the European Candy figure? The one on the right in the same photo is the Tomy.

But as for the rest, I'm completely clueless.

Picture

Minicot-like figure?

Picture
Not sure what it is! But it's pretty adorable, and the sales post I got it from was the only time I'd ever seen it, so I had to snatch it up right away.

Much thanks to Snowball21 for not having sold it before I got there~

Pokedoll Figure

Picture
Took forever to finally find one I could get. It's the second I've actually seen, and ended up $35.

The most I've spent on a figure, but, given the rarity, and its status as one of my grails for quite a long time, definitely worth it.

Pokedoll Strap

Picture
I'd been watching these show up overpriced on ebay for a while, and finally caved once a cheaper one was on pkmncollectors.

It's even cuter than I'd been expecting. Since I can't see a use for it outside of the collection, it gets to stay in that original packaging forever.

Y!J Finds

Picture
To the left is a Pez dispenser by Bandai, but I've yet to figure out exactly what the picture below is, beyond being Tomy brand.

I've seen them both floating around on Y!J, pretty common, and yet they've never once appeared on ebay or the pkmncollectors community. So, since I had to get them through Crescent, I still consider them to be really rare.

It's because of that rareness that I still haven't opened their bags. This probably means I'll never know what that other one is.
