Cote D'Azur Badge
Released: March 2017
This BADGE! I can't actually believe I have this badge!
To give a bit of background, Cote D'Azur is a Karaoke parlour in Japan. During late XY and early SM they had various badges release every month of different pokemon. To get the badges, you have to sing songs to earn tokens, and then spend the tokens on the gachapon machine these were in, so you only got a random shot at what badge you were after! This makes these rather rare, so I honestly never thought I would find this badge.
Thanks to the keen eyes of nanashi, however, this badge is in my collection! What a treasure! <3
Poketabi Hokkaido Badge
Released: 2017
This one took quite a while to find. I actually found it twice - once in the full Hokkaido set on mercari, and then mine! Those are the only two times I've seen this badge as well, to be honest.
The background colors match Alolan Vulpix so well. <3
Poketabi Nagoya Badge
Released: July 2018
This badge I got from an ebay seller, actually! It was a bit expensive, but very worth it, since even in Japan these badges are a bit of a pain to get your hands on.
This one has a special place in my heart, since Nagoya was the first place in Japan I lived. And the jewel tones are just spectacular!
Poketabi Nagoya Strap
Released: July 2018
I got this strap from the same seller as well! Why the strap doesn't have the golden karp/dolphin on it, though, I have no idea.
Metal PIn - Hyaku Poke Yako
Released: June 23, 2018
We went cray on the gacha machine at the Kyoto Pokemon Center trying to get these! My friend who adores the Vulpix line was with me and between all of us, we managed to get him a full set of all the foxes, the foxes for me, and all the claims I had (save maybe 1?).
It was a fantastic day. Fantastic day, I tell you.
Metal Pin - Hyaku Poke Yako
Released: June 23, 2018
The matching Alolan Ninetales to the above pictured Alolan Vulpix. To be honest I prefer the Vulpix because there is a little bit more going on, but to be fair I'm not sure how you can add more to this pin because of all those tails!
Glad both pins were silver, though - I love silver.
Cookie Can Badge
Released: 2017
My lord, these badges! Not the very hardest badges to find but they will give you a run for your money, and they'll be expensive, too. They are random in bags of cookies at the Pokemon Center and the bags of cookies cost quite a bit.
Even still I love them, and this Alolan Vulpix in particular is just so nicely detailed! I love the stripes in the background especially.
Round Zipper Pouch
Released: 2018
This was a get from Tokyo SkyTree...but not at the Pokemon Center there! Instead I found it in a random gift shop with all sorts of souvenirs in the basement, how strange!
REflector Mascot
Released: March 2018
So shiny and nice! These are meant to catch the light, seemingly so if it attached to a bag someone will notice and return it.
Metal Ball Chain Strap
Released: 2018
This was a very, very lucky gacha pull from the Seiyu that was across from our hotel in Tokyo! Seiyu is open 24 hours, and we went the night before leaving for Sendai to get some things in case it rained the next day. Upstairs they had this gacha set and I only had 100 yen, put it in the machine and out popped Vulpix!
Ensky Mini Metal Charm
Released: December 2016
Another one I bought the set to get. So teeny! I know if I tried to use this I would lose it instantly.
Rokon's Crystal Season - Stained Glass Keychain
Released: October 21, 2017
This keychain is superb quality. I still can't get over it - the snowflakes and ice shards, the artwork, everything!
Rubber Strap - Super Nerd
Released: December 22, 2018
A good mercari find - so glad to have this! I love the added berry as well, for some reason, just gives it that extra flair.
Kirie Series Acrylic Keyholder
Released: 2017
A gigantic acrylic keyholder to match all your other Kirie series goodies! Acrylic is the best but scratches so easily, so this stays in the pack, to be admired.
I really need to make an ita bag one of these days...
Kirie SEries Badge
Released: 2017
This was a gift from my lovely friends! They went to Japan for a visit and got this for me, such a dear gift. Thank you Zoey and Miranda! <3
Sapporo Reopening -
Acrylic Keyholder
Released: December 1, 2016
One of the first promotions featuring Alolan Vulpix! Also one of the first items I obtained of her. I got it on the pkmncollectors lj community through someone holding claims.
What looks like glitter is actually snow falling in the bg.
Sapporo reopening - Metal PIn
Released: December 1, 2016
A metal pin, and die cut as well! Sadly it's more like resin over the artwork rather than it being a bit more detailed but still very nice.
Sapporo REopening -
Metal Charm
Released: December 1, 2016
And of course, a promotion from the Pokemon Center wouldn't be complete without a set of metal charms! Like the above pins, these aren't detailed in the same way other metal charms are from the PC. At least they did capture the artwork well in both products.
BobBlehead KeyHolder
Released: December 7, 2017
Such a cutie! I ordered one from mikitzune when these first came out, but I was gifted another one as well in an exchange on the Discord. <3
Pokemon With You Badge
Released: June 30, 2017
I ordered 3 of these - adorable, cheap, and for a good cause! If you didn't know, the Pokemon With You campaign was founded to help survivors of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, and the proceeds of the badges all go to help them. So why not buy more?
Acrylic Heyholder -
Oteire Please!
Released: January 1, 2018
ignored this for a bit before finally caving and buying it from, where else, mercari! Such cute artwork, and an adorable promo. I hope they make more series like this!
Pokemon Center
Metal Charm Set
Released: March 11, 2017
The classic, the one piece of merchandise that every Pokemon in the entire Pokedex has, the Pokemon Center metal charm set. What more can be said? Fantastic foxes, fantastic charms. :3
Pokemon With You Charm
Released: March 11, 2017
Ah, the last of the old style Pokemon with You goods. I do miss this style, admittedly, and it is rather nostalgic - I remember being in Japan when the very first series was on shelves and they looked like this. The new artwork is very cute but...My heart will always love the old style too.
Ichiban Kuji Rubber Strap
Released: April 1, 2017
This was prize I in the Pikachu and Friends Happy Beach Time Kuji! I found this in Ikebukuro, in that one K Books there that has mountains of Pokemon stuff. If you've been there you know the exact one I'm talking about. 800 yen but worth it!!
Vulpix and Ice Stone Keyholder
Released: December 2, 2017
A surprise release from the Pokemon Center! I got this on my trip to Japan the following summer after it was released. I love that they included the ice stone as well.
Pokemon Center Acrylic Keyholder
Released: November 18, 2016
One of the very first pieces of official merchandise for Alolan Vulpix! Huzzah! This keyholder is actually HUGE and very nicely detailed. I really wish they would have made more of these after the first wave but, what can you do. ;A;
Acrylic Beads Mirror Keychain
Released: June 2018
What a neat item! It's a mirror keychain with little beads in that slide around. Naturally Alolan Vulpix has a snowflake shaped mirror, and blue beads. Super wintery! <3
Bottle of Confetti Strap
Released: 2016
This was a random conbini release in Japan. I can't remember at the moment which conbini sold this promo but, it was a bit difficult to find items for. t still is, in fact! That's why I got this early on and have had it for a long time.
Round Bag Brooch
Released: April 2017
I found this in a shop just below the Tempozan Ferris Wheel in Osaka. A really good shop, I also found a clear Drifblim kid there! Unlike most badges, this one is made of a very heavy plastic and seems durable, though the paint is probably easily shipped.
Christmas 2017 Metal Charm
Released: November 3, 2017
I have two sets because these are just SO darling (and because I can't display these on both Rockruff and Alolan Vulpix shelves at the same time)! I love the little sprig of holly on Alolapix's ear, a subtle and fitting touch. <3
Thai Rubber Keychain
Released: Late 2018
I don't know much about these keychains, except they were attached to snack foods in Thailand, much like some items are attached to drinks in Japan. I have this in my collection thanks to the wonderful FairyChrissy - thanks again!! :D
Its'Demo Acrylic Keychain
Released: November 7, 2017
I really wanted an acrylic keychain of just Alolapix for this promo but this is just as good. They really look like a mother and her child!! SO cute! <3
Ultra Sun Preorder Strap
Released: November 17, 2017
Another preorder bonus!! You can imagine that I also got this because of the Rockruff - thank goodness they were in the same set! But really I love the Alolan Vulpix - It's so tiny and sweet. <3
Candy Charm
Released: July 29, 2017
This one I had been searching for MIP for ages! To be fair, I was linked this a long time ago on fril, but I couldn't find the link since it was so far back in chat. However, luck was on my side and it finally popped up on mercari again! :D
School Bag Charm
Released: March 4, 2019
Have you ever thought - I need an impossibly small school bag in which I can only fit a few small keepsakes? Because this is definitely for you!
It does indeed open, though, in spite of its size. Neat item for sure!
