Kids/Finger Puppets Collection!

So if I have one vice in Pokémon collecting, it is these cute little things: Pokémon Kids figures (also known as just finger puppets over here in the US). They're cheap (well, some of them are cheap) and there is always at least one made for every Pokémon (and many not-Pokémon things). In lieu of trying to collect them ALL I just go for my favorites.

...I have a lot of favorites. >//<

From right to left:

 Lillymon (Digimon), Shiny/Pink!Butterfree, regular Butterfree, Metapod, Caterpie, Sewaddle, Flygon, Attack!Flygon, Vibrava, Clear Vibrava, Trapinch, Clear Articuno, Swinub, Piloswine, Seel, Dewgong, Surskit and Masquerain

Carbunkle (Final Fantasy series), Hawkmon (Digimon), 1997 Venonat, 1998 Venonat, Venomoth, 1997 Articuno, Attack!Articuno, 1999 Articuno, Sneasel, Scizor, Swinub, Abra, Alakazam, Chimecho, Xatu, 1998 Seel

Clear Oddish, regular Oddish, Gloom, Vileplume, Bellossom, Hoppip, Skiploom, Jumpluff, Cherubi, Sunkern

Attack Joltik, Attack Flareon, Attack Vaporeon, Espeon, Umbreon, Attack Leafeon, Attack Glaceon, Clear Flareon

More come out every year, and my list of kids I want grows. It's an awful, beautiful vicious cycle.

Flygon collection


This collection isn't much...yet. But it's at least something!

Banpresto Flygon plush: my favorite plush to date!
Trapinch plush: handmade (originally to go with my Flygon gijinka cosplay)
Kids: Trapinch, Vibrava, Clear Vibrava, Flygon and Attack/Kimewaza Flygon
Bootleg Trapinch figure: hey, it's still cute, right? (it was also a gift)

Missing from the shot are all of my cards and a few stickers.
