Tomy18
AULDEY variant: a legitimate Tomy license for Asia (same mold, "Auldey" stamp, slightly different details in eyes/fingers). NOT a bootleg.
American red-lettering «Pokémon Figure Collection» blister card, with the dex number on the back. ©2001, «Distributed by Pokémon USA, Inc. Manufactured by Tomy». Sold at US retail (K·B Toys price sticker) and as singles on pokemoncenter.com at $3.95-4.95. Carries a Tomy JAN barcode, not a Pokémon USA UPC.
White stripe box (1-151, different manufacturing run). Recolor documented between manufacturing runs (tomydatabase catalogs it as a "color-tone variant"). The white stripe corresponds to one of those runs — the exact paint difference is a contribution from the physical collection (the site catalogs its existence, not the detail).
Moncolle plus: ELECTRONIC figure (Jun 2009+) that stores the Pokémon's data (type, HP, moves, bond/きずな) and communicates with Tomy devices (Moncolle Touch, Battle Stage Plus). Blind purchase.
