Any other 90's kids here remember these things? I just remembered that I owned a few of them and got intense nostalgia, as I literally haven't given them any thought since about 1999. I'm pretty sure they were tie ins for the first movie or something.

What gives you pokemon related nostalgia, /vp/?

Yes, I have some of those left at my house. I also have some of the big plastic pokeballs they gave out around the same time.

My stupid sister knew it was some cheap bullshit that came with a happy meal or whatever, but she still broke open the plastic casing and bit into to see if it was real gold, and left a mark on it forever.

Think you had to buy these from Burger King or something, I used to have all of them. Not sure if I still do or if I gave them to my cousins.

Red's starter in the manga was a poliwag, which he later evolved into a poliwhirl. (If I'm not mistaken, this is the arc in which he encounters Mew in the first issue).

I'm only 19 now, so I hardly remember when these things came out, but I own 4 complete, still packaged sets of these things.

My grandpa collected all sorts of goofy toys, his favorite was marbles. But he knew that my absolute favorite was Pokemon when I was a kid. So he spent at least two years buying everything Pokemon-related that existed. But he never told me.

When he died he left me three complete sets of the Pokemon marbles, all in the huge Pokeball-shaped marble-carriers, the marble bags that each set of marbles came in, and the four sets of plaques, two red boxes and two blue box sets.

I love my grandpa.

Given >>21739147, the 90s pushed Poliwhirl harder than it would have been otherwise. Poliwhirl had a lot of merch out there back then even though it never took off like Pikachu.

Back then, KFC gave out little beanie/plush toys. Kind of shitmons, you got Seel and Zubat... but also Vulpix and Dratini, the ones I got.

In retrospect, I wish I got Zubat, but Vulpix is my little plushbro.

I also got a bunch of the toys from Burger King, including a little Oddish which fits neatly in those Pokeball cases that they recalled because kids were stupid enough to put them over their mouths and try to breathe.

That's what people thought about Action Comics 1, and so they all got tossed out. Then guess what happened.

One of these days, anon. You keep sitting on those. You'll be a millionaire soon enough.

The vast majority of Pokemon merchandise is worthless because it was super overproduced and has remained in good condition because it was made to be collected, as opposed to just used and thrown away. Oddly enough, the only pokemon merchandise that has any collector's value nowadays are the games, especially if they are in good condition and have the box and instructions. Mint condition sealed and boxed pokemon games for gens I and II can sell for hundreds of dollars. My local game shop sells pokemon crystal (just the cartridge, mind you) for 60$ if it's in good condition with a working battery, and the best deal you'll get on ebay is 40-50$. Granted, that's the most expensive of any of the gen I/II games, but it shows how well they've kept their value. And then of course there are the first edition cards from the basic set, which will be worth a lot just by virtue of being first editions. Overall I'd say collectors in the 1990s would have been a lot better off just buying a bunch of boxed games and hoarding them in their closets than buying cards.

This is no action comics 1. It's not just that they were mass produced and everyone has them, it's also that they really don't serve any purpose. They aren't very good mantle pieces, don't have any function in any game and just aren't particularly interesting. I don't think they're even good gold, are they?

All of mine are still in the balls.

I took them out of the box because I was a child and liked the sparkling gold cards.

I never took them out of the plastic cases though.
