I started collecting cards lots again in the past few months c:

But everytime I want to buy lots of cards I don't have, they get sniped ;-;

That Mega Charizard X costume is epic! You did a great job with it, Dainty!

I entered both categories (Favorite Pokemon and Dress-Up Pikachu) for the Pokemon Art Academy contest. For Favorite Pokemon, I drew Mewtwo wielding a giant spoon like it did in the Pokemon Adventures manga. For Dress-Up Pikachu, I drew Pikachu cosplaying as a Seel. Go to Miiverse, find the Pokemon Art Academy community, click Related in the left upper corner to take you to where entries for both categories can be seen. Mewtwo is on the third page under Favorite Pokemon and has my Beachball name attached. Pikachu cosplaying as Seel is on the third page under Dress-Up Pikachu with my Beachball name.

I need to steal that oddish. So adorably cute

I used to have a bunch of plushies and stuff but I downsized all my collections and only kept with my ponies and Jems. Now I only have plushes of the pokemon I like best - I have a large Wobbuffet and a small one, a small Gardevoir, a Ralts, a Kirlia, a Gallade and a Vileplume. I still need an Oddish, but I'm trying to be good since space is driving me nuts

[Princess Lala]

Thanks!!! Thats the Jakks Pacific Oddish, my step mom got him for me in 2008 at the Walgreens near Disney!! Jeeeeeze that was almost 10 years ago oh how things have changed since. I love that lil oddish! Im sure he is on the internet somewhere and he is nice and small! he is really soft...i think the fabric is called Minky?

[Taffeta]

I will have to keep an eye open for him when I have some money to spare People hate on grass pokemon a lot but I like them xD.

Back in the day ('99/'00), I bought one of these figures: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hasbro_electronic_figures

I couldn't resist Bulbasaur, who was on clearance at a comic shop for $1.  We had many fond moments together, until I got bored with it after a couple days.  Came in that exact packaging.  Never thought twice on who produced the toy.

Found a Mew figure not long after via the second-hand market.  Again, never thought twice on who made the toy.

Bulby & Mew found a new home sometime before '05 (either through here, the TP, or eBay - don't remember).


So...yesterday I found Mew, Evee, and Psyduck at the thrift store.  Tried to ID them (they're just called electronic figures).  The wiki says Hasbro made them, but they are clearly marked 1998 Tomy!

Googled "Electronic Pokemon Figure Tomy" and found the exact figures, but in clear bubble-like boxes instead of the red US packaging.

What's the deal?

Did Hasbro buy a bunch of Tomy toys and sell them on the US market without adding their brand stamp?

I'm so confused!

[tikibirds]

I have a Lapras one that says TOMY but all my others say Hasbro. The hasbro ones I got in stores here (around 2000) and the Lapras one was off ebay so maybe it was from Japan, originally?

[Princess Lala]

Awe how can people hate on oddish!? Oddish is adorable!!!!

[pyrodarknessanny]

i remember having a pickachu   of these ...
is Tomy  still a thing?
i thought  that  Hasbro brought them out,... or it was like a sister company  or a branch or something along thos lines .

also WHOLY  HORSE HAIR there was a Lugia!?!

[Princess Lala]

I HAVE THE LUGIA!!!! check my collection page in the Pokemon Swap thread, first page!!!!

Also, while they are the TOMY brand, Hasbro distributed a lot of the pikemon toys here in the US (the awesome toys with the blue and red line designs with pikachu jumping out!) especially the Takara TOMY Monster Collection toys. The electronic pokemons in their red boxes have the Hasbro logo on it but i think there was black text that said TOMY on it somewhere...

I used to have the electronic Psyduck and Togepi!!!

OMG Spiffy you got EEeeVVEE!?? If you ever wanna sell it please come to mee! Ive been looking for that one, even if it doesnt work! 

[egyptiondragon]

Yes hasbro distributed a lot of tomy figures back when pokemon was really popular.
