Golem
I was shopping late at night with my grandparents at ToysRUs (they always spoiled me and my sister). We saw them stocking up on the Pokemon figures and I saw the Golem and Geodude pack.

I instantly fell in love with them both. THEN the guy unpacking showed me the others, including Gengar and Meowth. My grandparents liked them too enough to let me buy both sets. Golem & Gengar lead me into a life-long interest in Pokemon ever since then. (Of course if I started paying attention to Cartoon Network I would have found about them anyways.)
