Charmander/Charizard
Charmander has been my favorite since the beginning. Unfortunately, in the beginning I knew very little about Pokemon, as I had neither cable nor allowance to buy the cards. Fortunately, my best friend recorded the anime series, and we'd watch it together on weekends. At recess, we pretended to be Pokemon with our other friends. While everyone else was Pikachu, I took a liking to Charmander, and fire types in general, instead. I admit, I did grow to love the grace of Vulpix/Ninetales more as I grew older, but upon realizing how little merchandise there is of the foxes, and how expensive/rare it can be, I ended up going back to my fire lizard roots - and Charmander, might I add, has a TON of really cool merch! I have a few Charmeleon things, but I'm not really a huge fan of it... blame it on the old back sprite. x]

Banpresto handkerchief
This was one of those 'Hey, that's different! Let's buy it!' pieces. xD
There are others in this set, which came in a little gachapon ball.
I might take a picture of the insert sometime. ^^

Play-by-play small plush
Rescued this 'zard from secondhand store nightmare.
His tail flame is literally hanging on by a thread, and he's got tiny tears in him all over, and his claws are a mess.

Large Play-by-Play plush
The pride and joy of my Char collection!
No backdrop for this giant, so you get to look at my ugly walls and carpet instead. :D
Seriously, this guy is BIG. Look at the kid at his feet for size reference.
Compared to other PBP plush, he's pretty well-made, and in great condition!
The claws are a vinyl-esque material, and the fabric is soft.
This was a birthday present from an old boyfriend several years ago.
I've seen a few of these plush where the head is down and pointing forwards.
It could be an easy fix - this plush is notorious for broken neck syndrome.

Petit charm (custom)
When I decided to commission ~Sexual-Pancake, I had my heart
set on a Charizard after seeing the one she'd already made.
I love the little blush spots on his cheeks. Sadly, you can't see them very
well in the picture.
Like Ho-oh, this little guy also has a tiny little bell - only Charizard's is red.
Is it just me, or does it look like Charizard has its arms up for a hug? >w<

Trendmasters motion sensor & alarm clock
I don't think the motion sensor works. It's a little beaten up, and came from Value Village. If it does work, Charmander would say its name.
The alarm clock was a birthday present from the friend who got me into Pokemon, and still works! When you push the red button, there are three different sounds it makes: "Charmander Charmander!", "Char!", "Gotta catch 'em all! Pokemon!"
The last one is the TV show voice, and is also the alarm sound... which is why I never used it. xD;
Trendmasters came out with a lot of electronic Pokemon items back in the day.

Mystery KFC lamp
Ah, the source of my first post on Pokemon Collectors!
As mentioned in that post, I found this mystery lamp at Value Village.
It has the sensor switch, which leads me to believe it works similar to the Trendmaster ones.
I've never been able to find anything about this lamp, so if you know anything PLEASE let me know!

Charms
Not sure who made these, but they're really cute!
Mystery inflatable
Once again, no idea about the origins of this one.
Somehow I won this in a GA with no competition. It has a small light inside of it, which is turned on or off with the little red stick. There's also what looks to be a sound box on it, but it doesn't work.
As you can see, it's rather derpy looking from head-on. xD

TFG
Kaiyodo really needs to make more figurines!
The TFG is definitely a must-have for any 'zard collector.
I got a really good deal on this one, as it was broken off its base.
That was perfectly okay with me - I saved $6-8 on the figure, and it's an easy fix!

TOMY - with masterball
Picked this up at a convention a few years ago.
I really like the pose on this figurine.
It originally came packaged like this.

Mega Bloks set
This set eluded me for the longest time. I thought I'd have to buy it off of Y!J and suffer deputy fees, but oi_m saved me the trouble! <3
The middle picture demonstrates the full set. It comes with the pieces for Charizard, or there's extra pieces which allow you to make a helicoptor or plane. Mine didn't come with May or any of the smaller mega bloks, but that's okay. ^^

Burger King toy
Unfortunately, Charmander no longer lights up.
However, given its age, that's not terribly surprising. ^^;

Hasbro figurine with projectile
Mine didn't come with the projectile, sadly.
Still, it's a gorgeous figure. It has really pretty eyes. :3

Hasbro talking figure
Surprisingly, this also came from Y!J. Had slight competition, but I got him in the end. The seller was unable to provide any info, as the packaging is all in English. xD
As you can see, he's MIB, although the box is slightly beaten up. I definitely scored a piece of someone's collection. He's still attached to the packaging with working batteries. I've since taken him out of the box and tested, but haven't removed him from the cardboard. If I do, it's only because my shelf is getting full and I need the room. ^^;

1997 Tomy bank
Scored this off of Y!J with surprisingly no competition.
Was floored when I got the shipping invoice for it -
Bankzard was way bigger than I thought he was!
Unfortunately, the stopper to keep the coins from falling out is missing, but I plan
to scrounge something up so I can use him.
He's in great condition for his age - a few small smudges and marks, but nothing
a magic eraser can't fix! He also has a strong plastic smell. >.<

Kid
He came to me a little scuffed, but I plan to get a fellow
community member to give him a shiny paint job!

PC metal charms
Initially, I decided not to get these, as people liked to jack up the price because they're sought after. But Gin changed my mind and I snatched them up from her sales post for a great price.
Contemplating trading Charmeleon, but only for Ho-oh, Jirachi, or Mew. ^^;

Burger King gold plated card
Ended up getting my hands on one in much better condition
that included the certificate of authentication as well as the pokeball!
I'm glad I was able to score the pokeball, as it makes it much easier to display.

Bottle cap figurine
Not to be confused with the Kaiyodo figures - these are much smaller and less detailed! I couldn't find much information on them since every search result brought me info on the Kaiyodo caps. xD;
Fun fact: I used this as a D&D mini for a while because my character was a dragon, and I have no minis that remotely resemble a small dragon.

Retsuden stamp
If you've bought anything from me, chances are you've received a
thank you note with this stamped in silver ink on black paper. ^^
Sadly, his eyes don't like to stamp very well. :c
I really love the back of this stamp - it's got Charizard on it!

Chibi Stamper
Slowly but surely, I find myself becoming addicted to stamps.
They're just so much fun to use!

??? stamper
Not sure about this one, but I have a feeling it's from the generic school supplies line.
Unlike my other stamps, this one's actually self-inking.
I prefer my own silver ink pad though. ^^

Dice/marble bags
The Charmander dice bag holds my human rogue dice - they're easily the most reliable dice I have!
I'd have been tickled pink if there was a Charizard bag, but even though I don't like Charmeleon,
its rebellious and anti-social personality from the anime fit my half-nymph soulknife quite well.
Sadly, pictures don't do these dice justice. The left set is green and sparkly blue, and the right is purple and blue.

Pokemon Center NY Christmas 2001 plate
This came from a set of four plates - Squirtle, Pichu,
and Pikachu were also in the set. I did a group buy
for forest_snivy's set, and this of course is the one I picked. ^^

PC promo towel/scarf
Reminds me more of a table runner than a towel. xD
I guess you could put it around your neck to collect sweat but that's just blasphemous! >:c
This is a really cool item from the 2010 Charizard promo.
I also have a couple of the TCG sleeves from the same promo - they currently
protect my shiny Vulpix and shiny Ho-oh cards~

Fabric
I was really lucky to get my hands on this stuff. It's really hard to find!
Not sure how much is here - I want to say 2 yards?
Still debating if I want to make something out of it. I don't sew..
A pair of shorts would be nice. I like shorts, they're comfy and easy to wear. ;3

Pokemon Center shopping bag
(Click the pictures for a respective close-up of that side!)
Bought this from Gin when she was selling off her massive collection of shopping bags!
I love the Charizard promo stuff, and this sleek bag is no exception.
Once I get those folds flattened out, I plan on framing it. :3

Marble
Just a random get. I like the color of the marble.
It suits Charmander much more than, say, blue or green?

Deck box
Awww yeah old Sugimori art! <3
This box is pretty old. It also features Nidoran F on the back, but pfft.
Unfortunately, it also has black sharpie on the top. :c

TCG 'binder'
As you can see, this card binder has seen better days. I intend
to fix it up though, as it's become a permanent place for my TCG, Topps cards,
pan stickers... really, any flats that fit in it go in here.

Mini notebook
The cover of this is lenticular, and changes from Charmeleon to Charizard.
I unintentionally captured that in the picture. n.n;

Button (unofficial)
Really like the sprite art here. Reminds me of the Dot art promo.
Metal coins
Charmander and Charmeleon are the same, but Charizard has a slightly raised edge.
They're heavy enough to be POG slammers. All I know is that the Charmander and Charmeleon ones are from some battling coin game.

Shogakukan stamp clip
This clip is really old, and I couldn't find much about it.
Shogakukan is the company that made all the Pokemon stamps though.
If you have any other info, please let me know!

Unofficial sterling silver pendant
I got this from eBay back in 2007.
The seller still has these pendants, but they're extremely inflated in
price compared to what I paid.
Still, it's not a bad replica, as it's pretty detailed.
It's currently hanging from my phone along with my Spinarak, Ariados, Meowth,
and Sandslash metal charms. Yay bling!

Pokebox stickers
Saw these in an auction and BIN'd them right away. Can you blame me?
Look at how cute they are! <3
... what's that? How am I going to use them? Pfft!
(I've got to stop buying stickers... xD;)

Sticker
This was one of those stickers that came blind packaged with several others.
Over the years I ended up giving most of the other ones away.
Anyway, I believe this is from the episode where Ash and his friends are shipwrecked on the island with the giant mechanical Pokemon.
I loved that episode - mostly how Ash's Pokemon and Team Rocket's Pokemon interacted with each other. Squirtle was so mean. xD

Custom doodles
My methuselah31010 doodle collection is now at 3! <3
Not that they had to bribe me when their customer service is already
great, but this makes me want to buy from them all the time~

Honestly, I'm not sure which I loved more - this Charizard, or the Seel plush!
