Gold Leaf (TV Tokyo prize)

📜The story

👑 GOLD LEAF MONCOLLE PIKACHU (2020) — the ultimate grail of the Tomy/MonColle line. Context: on October 9, 2020 the Pokémon anime (ポケットモンスター, 2019 series) returned to TV Tokyo's Golden Time — Fridays 6:55 p.m., its first prime-time slot since September 2018. To celebrate, the «金曜の夜を金ピカに！» campaign (“let's make Friday night golden!”) appointed Pikachu “Executive Golden Producer” in a gold suit. That's where the golden theme comes from. The figure: as part of the «4週連続視聴プレゼントキャンペーン» (watch-4-weeks-in-a-row prize campaign), viewers collected letters announced during the broadcast via data-broadcast and registered. The prize was a MonColle Pikachu finished in REAL GOLD LEAF (金箔). Only 10 winners by lottery (抽選で10名様). Rarity: zero public sales or auctions on record. Independently documented as “Pikachu Tomy Gold” on pokemontomy.fandom.com (distinct from the 2022 retail gold set and the 20th-anniversary gold). Piece corroborated in the PokéShiny Finds collection. Estimated value $2,000–$10,000+ USD.
