In my collection
💡 AMERICAN box in English (red lettering) from 2nd gen MonColle, covering dex 1-251 (vs. the Japanese split of black 1-151 + yellow 152-251). 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
- Cream chest & belly (the #1 tell): Genuine Nidoqueen has the chest plate and belly painted cream/beige. The classic documented bootleg comes ALL blue (with purple hints), missing the cream plate. No painted chest = maximum suspicion.
- Fakes WITH the full stamp: Fake Nidoqueens have been documented with the full ©Nintendo · C.G.T.S.J · TOMY · MADE IN CHINA stamp. On this figure the stamp does NOT prove authenticity — decide on the chest paint + seam.
- Price bait: It's one of the priciest Kanto Tomys (~$75 loose in the community price guide). A 'cheap and available' Nidoqueen is almost certainly a bootleg.
🕵️ Heavily faked — how to verify yours
Why it's faked: bootleg conocido: todo azul sin el peto tan, CON sello correcto
Bootleg tells
- Nidoqueen todo azul (sin placas tan del pecho) = fake
- El sello puede ser correcto — no te fíes solo del sello
- Compara color contra referencia
Original checklist
- ✓ Sello de base: ©Nintendo·C·G·T·S·J TOMY, hundido y nítido (vintage)
- ✓ Costura de barriga presente (Tomy = 2 mitades)
- ✓ Puntas afiladas, no redondeadas (recast redondea)
- ✓ Color contra esta referencia auténtica
- ✓ Altura dentro de la spec esperada
- ✓ Precio realista (Sold Listings) y no 'set completo' barato
