Main distribution: Japan
Bandai has made several series of Pokémon bath bombs, under the Bikkura Tamago or Surprise Egg name. These come in a plastic blind bag.
There are several lines of these but I’ll only be listing the ones with the full figures here, not the older figures with the white keychain loop, nor the pokéball ones. I’ll also not list the DX here.
The bath bomb with figure comes in a blind bag, so you can’t tell which one you get prior. When opening the blind bag you’ll find the bath bomb tightly wrapped in clear plastic. It’s in the shape of a Pokéball.
Although you can dissolve them in a bowl of hot water to get the toy out, I don’t like wastage so I ran myself several baths over the weeks and threw a bomb in each time.
It fizzes mostly, and does not create any bubbles like normal bubble bath stuff would. It colours the water and it has a nice light smell. Slowly the figure is revealed. It doesn’t take that long for the entire bath bomb to dissolve, about two minutes. The bath is quite moisturising and makes my skin soft.
The figures feel quite nice and of high quality. They got a nice shine to them, and don’t feel so rubbery as some other bath bomb figures do.

I was never a fan of bath bombs, but after the Pokémon Oh!-Egg Bath Ball and Dragon Quest Friends of Slime Bath Bomb, I was sold on these cute figures that came in them. So when I saw these, I bought three initially of the 2021 Figure Collection.
I was worried I could smell them through the packaging, but once diluted in water it smelled quite nice and light. The bath bombs fizzed a bit, but gave no bubbles. And it turned the bath water in a lime green, which looked a bit toxic. That said though, it made my skin feel so nice and soft! Definitely moisturising! These are the best once I had so far.
And the figures are better than I expected. They feel nice and are shiny. They still smell, but only if you go up close to them and smell them. You don’t smell them just from having them standing in the room. And the smell is quite nice in my opinion, not sickly strong at all. They are great quality for a bath bomb toy, and don’t have that rubbery feel the others had.
I had always been on the look out for more, but hadn’t been able to get any. When I broke my ankle, I couldn’t get in the bath anymore. And while stuck laying in bed browsing the internet on my phone, I found lots of these bath bombs available again. I ordered many, and it took a while to arrive from Japan, but it gave me something to look forward to. And they roughly arrived when I was able to bath again, so this was great.
I now also had some of the other sets. The yellow Chamomile ones smelled barely, and the water kind of looks like pee… But it was equally moisturising. The blue Soap ones (which is an oddly generic description) smelled stronger, and I guess it does smell like a florally soap. It made the water blue, which made it look quite nice and tropical. Like the others it was nicely moisturising. I’m guessing some of the older ones loose a bit of their strength both in terms of colour as well as smell.
I’ve used up all of mine now. I was hoping for Gen 1, and only Umbreon, Munchlax, Sprigatito and Piplup don’t hit that criteria. I have also gotten 3 doubles (2xBulbasaur and Flareon). Overall I can’t complain with that outcome.
If anyone wants to trade my Munchlax for the Pikachu of that set, let me know! Also, if anyone has a Flareon of the Eevee Friends set, or a Mew from the Pokémon Pokémon Figure Collection I’d be interested.
If anyone would like to trade for my Bulbasaur and/or Flareon of the 2021 Pokémon Figure Collection let me know.
If you like cute or small Pokémon figures, I recommend getting these. They are nice quality. If you like bath bombs for the bath itself, these are really nice too, as they have a nice light smell and they make your skin feel soft.
Got any more details / information you think I should add? Or did I get something wrong? Do you own any of these figures? Which one is your fav? Do you bath in them or dissolve in a bowl? Do you agree or disagree with my findings? Let me know in the comments below!
