💡 THE OTHER official golden Magikarp (the only one "obtainable"): golden/shiny variant of the «はねる!∞（ムゲン）コイキング» gashapon ("Splash! Infinite Magikarp"), exclusive to Pokémon Center — a WIND-UP toy that recreates Magikarp's Splash/leap. Preorder on Pokémon Center Online on Jul-6-2023 and gacha machines in stores from Jul-8-2023. Three variants in blind capsule: male (yellow whiskers), female (white whiskers), and shiny GOLDEN. Odds of the golden one at random: one Japanese buyer documented 2 golden ones in 20 capsules (~10%; a nod to the 1/4096 shiny odds in the games).
Its own mold with wind-up mechanism and NO wave base — do NOT confuse with the 2005 MonColle grail (grail-gold-magikarp), which uses the classic mold on the blue wave. Manufacturer not confirmed in the source (official Pokémon Center gacha; attributable to Takara Tomy Arts, their usual gacha supplier).

🔍 How to spot the original
- Only ONE gold MonColle (and it DOES have the wave base): Only ONE gold MonColle Magikarp exists: the 2005 Pokémon Daisuki Club prize. It uses the classic mold MOUNTED on its blue wave base — your piece having the wave does NOT rule it out as the grail (a common myth: the reference photo and auctioned examples have it). Factory finish: two-tone PEARL champagne-yellow (pearl-gold body, pearl-white fins and barbels).
- The OTHER official gold is a wind-up (2019): The only other official gold Magikarp figure is the shiny variant of the Pokémon Center «Haneru! ∞ Koiking» gacha (Jul 2019): a jumping WIND-UP toy, different mold, NO wave base. If your gold one has a wind-up mechanism, it's the 2019 gacha, not the 2005 grail.
- Fakes: gold PAINTED over: The typical fake is any Tomy Magikarp painted in uniform metallic gold. The original is NOT gold paint on top: it's factory two-tone pearl PVC, with the wave base left blue. Demand a crisp ©Nintendo/TOMY base stamp, the two-half seam and, on expensive pieces, the original blister (sealed ~$1,100 vs loose ~$440).
- The 'HG/SS gold + red Gyarados pair' is PLUSH: The famous HG/SS-era gold+red pair is Pokémon Center PLUSH (Dec 2009; the gold one was re-made in Apr 2013 for the Pokémon Center Nagoya reopening). No such figure pair exists: the red Gyarados MonColle was a buy-5-figures campaign gift in Jan 2010 (MFC 412903), with no partner Magikarp.
🕵️ Heavily faked — how to verify yours
Why it's faked: el grial dorado es de los más repintados
Bootleg tells
- ORIGINAL dorado = perla champán 2 tonos + ola azul SIN dorar

- ✓ Color contra esta referencia auténtica
- ✓ Altura dentro de la spec esperada
- ✓ Precio realista (Sold Listings) y no 'set completo' barato
