Company: Tomy / Takara Tomy / T-Arts / Auldey

Year: 2003+

Size: +/- 5 cm

Main distribution: Worldwide


The Pocket Monster Collection, MonCollé or simply Tomy figures are small figures that are highly collectable. The series has been running from the 90s and is still running now. They have been distributed worldwide and have seen various releases and re-releases in various packs. They come often in “toy sets” and are therefor generally found in generic toy stores and supermarkets instead of the more niche geek shops. In Japan these figures come also in stand alone packs.

In this blog post you’ll find all the Gen III / Hoenn region Pokémon I own. As my favourite are from Gen I, with a couple of Gen II, you won’t find many here. But some are cute and were acquired due to it being in a multipack, so I’ve decided to keep them.
