My Raichu Collection
This is my Raichu collection as of 04/03/09.
All This stuff I collected over the years since I was a kid until now. Infact, I didnt really make it my Priority to collect Raichu stuff until now. I've spent the last two years collecting Kimba The White Lion merchandise, also Some Ginga Densetsu Weed merchandise too. Now I want to collect pokemon since it is awesome. Right now I focus my collection on Raichu.
This is whats in my collection:
Yep, the original Raichu plushie. For the longest time as a kid, (before ebay came along) I wanted a Raichu plush. I had about 5 pikachu ones I won in the carnival games, but at that time I had a passonate hatred against Pikachu, so when I saw this raichu plush at a toy fair, and it was mine! Had it ever since :)
The burger King Raichus, unfortunalty, none of them light up. The one the the left was the one I got from burger king while they were out, I messed up putting its tail on, and some how, I managed to brake it. So a few years later, I made a custom tail for it. The one to the right is one that was given to me as a gift.
This is a glow in the dark Raichu! YAY! I got this when the mall me and my friends hung out with had a temporary Anime stand. I saw it cheap and I of course had to have it.
This figure came out with the 3rd generation pokemon figure series. I got this in Target when it first came out. Its tiny but adorable. Though its a pain to keep it standing.
This model is from the Japanese model collection. I have to say, it is the least favorite of my Raichus. Putting together was hell, the tail broke while I was snapping it in, the ears swing around, and the body frame still wont fully snap together. Lucky its a Raichu.
YAY GIANT RAICHU FIGURE! I was so anxious to get one of these when I found of of it's exsistance. But getting one took a while since I didnt want to spend 50$ on the whole stadium thing xP so I waited and my friend got me it, he told me the box was open, and he took it for me, crazy, but sweet :D
Heres an interesting one. Its a Raichu figure released by Nintendo, its legs and tail are posable. I got it in a figure auction, and I knew I never seen this figure before and I had to have it. Thankfully I won the auction, there were other interesting figures, and the rest of them went back on ebay.
This is one of the oldest Raichus I own, the pokeball keychain. His tail came off a long time ago (i have no luck with raichu tails) and I made a custom one like the burger king raichu but it was not successful. Its has a lot of wear, but still one of my favs.
Spinny Raichu. I LOVE the pose on him, this one has to be one of the best they've made, he is sooo ready to own! I got him from a friend who collected these figures and gave me her extra Raichu
Everyone saw this coming, the collection from Tomy. Every Raichu (or any pokemon collector) has one of these. They the most common of all the different ones. I got one from each diffeent packaging. Im only missing one at the moment.
Yay for bootlegs! I got these from the flea market the school by me has on the weekend, cute little things arent they :) the one n the left lights up, well not anymore, and the one on the right is just an empty hollow raichu. But I still love it!
This Raichu I forgot to include in my big picture of all my Raichus, I got this on ebay recently. It is TINY. The picture the seller had was huge, I assumed it was a regular seized figure. I was wrong. Its black areas are green. It came with no stand to display it so i drilled a hole in it's head and made it in to a charm for my DS.
Here are my Newest Additions! Yes, they are bootleges, but, they are still Raichus and I love Raichu, so they area fine addition to my collection:
Yes, this one, hes a funny one isn't he? his eyes are pure black, and he is pure yellow. He has red checks and his ears are the way they should be. I still like him ^^
NO Raichu fan can resist this one. It is really cute! My friends thought it was a pikachu with Raichu ears, I hadnt really thought about that, but now that I do, it does! I love its facial expression, and its tail! Its amazing how these poorly done bootlegs can be so awesome at the same time :D
New Figures Update!! ---------04/09/2009----------
its the pokemon Zukan figures of Raichu, Pikachu and Pichu. Yep, it is TINY. I knew it would be pretty small, but there were no words to describie how wrong I was xDD
This on was made by Tomy. Its slightly bigger than the other raichus made by Tomy. I've been eyeing it for the longest time. I finally decided " I had to have it." and I knew from the moment I ordered it, I'd love it, and now thats its here, I LOVE it!
