💡 AMERICAN box in English (red lettering) from the 2nd gen MonColle, covering dex 1-251 (vs. the Japanese black 1-151 + yellow 152-251 split). Documented from the PokéShiny Finds physical collection — the website only documents 4 of these (Golem/Jolteon/Magmar/Snubbull); the 251 are a verified original contribution.
🔍 How to spot the original
- Flooded with fakes (even stamped): Swinub is on the community list of Tomys flooded with bootlegs — and several fakes CARRY a Tomy stamp. On this figure, the stamp alone proves nothing.
- True rarity: Swinub rates "good luck" (impossible tier) in the community 2nd-gen guide — among the rarest Johto Tomys, period. An available, cheap piece is a bootleg until proven otherwise.
- Verification routine: Run the full routine: visible two-half seam, deep crisp base engraving, clean paint, no raw-PVC smell. On a piece this heavily faked, demand the seller's OWN photos of the base and seam — never buy off a stock photo.
