I love Gashapon, Pokémon and I’m an artist. These were made for me! The first volume, the pink series, was very quickly sold out, and the ones for sale seem quite expensive. I wasn’t that fussed at the time. It was just pink. But now that more colours are announced I’m hoping to get at least one of each!

However, I am quite picky with these. I only like the Pokémon of Gen 1, maybe Gen 2. And I like to display these without their bases, and I don’t think that works for all of them as some I don’t think can stand on their own.

I found the yellow series from an anime shop on Instagram for a nice price, and I knew I wanted 1. Psyduck seemed the one to tick all my boxes, so I bought him.

He looks so dorky and cute! The colours are nicely done, and the paint looks lifelike.

Couple years later I’m visiting this shop in Amsterdam I always go to when I’m there, and I see these figures (yellow only). I got excited, I saw Pikachu, and immediately bought it. Then I remembered I already had Psyduck, I only wanted 1 of each colour, and I wanted them to be able to stand without base. I realised as soon as I had paid for him… oops. So if anyone would like to trade Pikachu for another colour, Gen 1 that can stand without base, hit me up!

I do hope to score Growlithe of the orange series! He’s one of my favourite Pokémon but I don’t like much merchandise of him. This one would be perfect. As for the others, I think Chansey for pink. Grimer for purple, although Gengar looks cuter. He might be able to sit lopsided. Ditto looks cute too but not sure if he can stand either. And then Squirtle or Tangela for blue. Bulbasaur will have to be green. Brown will be tricky, as I’m not sure any will stand without base, so I’m guessing Eevee would be the safest bet.

I hope they make more colours (red, grey, black, white), but looks like this line has stopped for now.

If you like Gashapon, or small, cute little figures of Pokémon, or love paint / art, this set is highly recommended!
If you prefer larger figures, these would be a miss for you.
