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.

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 any of pink but Mew would be good. Grimer of purple, although Gengar looks cuter. He might be able to sit lopsided. And then Squirtle or Tangela of blue. Bulbasaur will have to be green.

I’m guessing a red will come next? Or maybe black and white? I do hope they make all the colours.

If I get any more this will be updated of course.

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.
