If you’re looking to spice up your bookshelves or figure displays, you will want to go with a trusted and established company. One of the biggest names in the figure game is Kotobukiya. Known for their high quality and attention to detail, Kotobukiya figures are a great centerpiece for you to show off, andthese Pokemon figures are some of the bestyou can find.
Kotobukiya Lucas and Chimchar
The coolest protagonist with a beret.
The counterpart to Diamond and Pearl’s Dawn, Lucas joins the Kotobukiya figure line with another starter from the generation, Chimchar. Based on his design from the original games, Lucas is a great figure to pick up if you grew up playing the Nintendo DS games.
The male protagonist of Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, and again in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl gets his very own Kotobukiya figure, complete with a little Chimchar buddy to keep him company.
The figure is based on an illustration by Hitoshi Ariga, a prominent artist who has been creating art for the Pokemon Trading Card Game for many years. Lucas is recreated here in a 1/8 scale size and has been accurately modeled after his outfit in the original games. Chimchar isn’t attached to the base of the figure either, much like Dawn’s Kotobukiya figure, and if you have both, you can swap them between the figures to customize them a bit.
Kotobukiya Leon & Charizard Figures
The champion of Galar returns
One of the strongest duos in Pokemon Sword and Shield, Leon and his partner Pokemon Charizard are striking an intense pose, one that exudes triumph and self-confidence. These two champions can be posed together or independently as each one has its own base.
Starting off strong with a stylish figure of Leon and his partner Pokemon Charizard. Hailing from the Galar region of Pokemon Sword & Shield, Leon and Charizard come in their iconic pose from the anime. Charizard is roaring a fierce cry of triumph, while Leon, standing wide with his cape billowing in the wind, has his hand pointed to the sky.
This figure is based on an illustration from Naoki Saito, who is a regular contributing artist to the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Both Charizard and Leon can be posed independently since each figure comes with its own base, or you can combine them to have them be together, letting you customize the scene you want to build.
Kotobukiya May And Mudkip
Win all the ribbons with this May figure
The bubbly Pokemon Coordinator comes to the Kotobukiya figure collection alongside a fun-having Mudkip. The little Water Type Pokemon is splashing on the base of the figure, while May is winking and throwing her hand in the air in joy.
May traveled with Ash and Pikachu for a long time in the Pokemon anime, becoming a fan favorite after spending so much time with the characters in the show and every Pokemon fan’s childhood. She was a different type of trainer than Ash, one not focused on battles and fighting, but instead trained her Pokemon to enter Pokemon Contests to win the Ribbon Cup.
The Kotobukiya figure of May and Mudkip shows off a bit of May’s skills, with her and Mudkip excitedly striking a pose together. The figure is based on an illustration by Jitoshi Ariga, and was out of print for some time before being re-released.
Kotobukiya Arceus Figure
The power of creation, given form
There are few more powerful Pokemon than Arceus, and you too can capture that power for yourself with this impressive figure. Standing almost twelve inches tall, this figure features Arceus the legendary Pokemon standing on the ruins of Spear Pillar while meteors rain around him.
Possibly the origin of all life in the Pokemon universe, or at least the Sinnoh and Ransei regions, Arceus is a being of unimaginable power. Its figure from Kotobukiya shows off just a fraction of that might with the incredibly detailed rendition of Arceus flinging waves of energies amongst the ruins of some civilization.
The mythical Pokemon is posed above the broken pillars and ravaged earth of the Spear Pillar. This figure strikes an impressive pose no matter which angle you look at it from, especially when you see all the different meteor strikes raining down.
Kotobukiya Dawn with Turtwig
No need to worry, this figure isn’t going anywhere!
From the Pokemon Platinum era comes Dawn and Turtwig, though this time she’s dressed up for cooler weather with her coat, scarf, and beanie. This Kotobukiya figure shows off Dawn and Turtwig’s positive personality with their large smiles and the positive energy they’re giving off.
From Pokemon Platinum comes Dawn and the Tiny Leaf Pokemon Turtwig, together like never before. Dawn comes dressed in a special cold weather outfit, one that first wears in Pokemon Platinum and is rarely seen in the anime. Turtwig on the other hand, is totally fine with the chilly weather.
The neat thing with this figure is that Turtwig isn’t actually attached to the base, so you can place you the little turtle anywhere you like, or leave it off if you don’t want Dawn paired up with it.
Kotobukiya Latias & Latios Figure
The Eon Duo remain together
Two iconic legendary Pokemon from the Ruby and Sapphire era come together in a gorgeous figure. Around them, water has formed half a cocoon as they circle the Soul Dew together.
Two legendary Pokemon come together in a single figure with the Latias and Latios figure from Kotobukiya. The colors in this figure are stunning and are the first thing that catches your eye when looking at it. Despite the water flowing around them, the figure doesn’t seem too busy, instead feeling framed and self-contained while still showing off the playful nature of these two legendary Pokemon.
Even with the high amount of blue in this figure, Latios doesn’t get lost against the translucent blue water around them. The figure is based on an illustration by Ryota Murayama, who has a long history of creating art for the Pokemon Trading Card Game. In this figure, Latias and Latios are circling the Soul Dew, a special item that holds special significance to both Pokemon.
One of the cooler things about this figure is that by placing a small LED light beneath it, you can give it a supernatural glow and really make this figure stand out.
