This week’s selection spans three of Japan’s most recognized character franchises. Two officially licensed Pokemon stickers from 1997, a Hello Kitty collaboration figure from Furuta’s Choco Egg line, and a One Piece collector’s plate from Ichiban Kuji round out the picks.

Hitmonlee Pokemon Sticker No.309 — Amada 1997

Sticker No.309 from Amada’s 1997 Pokemon series, depicting the Fighting-type Pokemon Hitmonlee. Amada was a Japanese manufacturer that produced officially licensed Pokemon stickers during the franchise’s original wave of popularity, and numbered sets like this one are a direct record of that era.

Paras Pokemon Sticker No.249 — Amada 1997

Sticker No.249 from the same Amada 1997 series, this time featuring Paras, the Bug- and Grass-type Pokemon recognizable by the mushroom spores on its back. The set numbering reflects Amada’s internal ordering rather than the National Pokedex, which places Paras at No.46.

Cookie! Hello Kitty Collaboration Choco Egg Mini Figure — Furuta

A mini figure from Furuta Confectionery’s Choco Egg line, produced as part of a Hello Kitty collaboration. Furuta’s Choco Egg series — chocolate eggs each containing a small collectible figure inside — became one of Japan’s most popular collectible toy formats in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Hello Kitty, created by Sanrio in 1974, remains one of Japan’s most globally recognized characters.

Reiju One Piece Plate — Ichiban Kuji Best Edition Prize H

A collector’s plate featuring Vinsmoke Reiju from the One Piece Ichiban Kuji Best Edition lottery, designated as Prize H. Ichiban Kuji is a guaranteed-prize lottery system sold through Japanese convenience stores and hobby retailers, where every ticket wins an item from the set. Reiju is a member of the Vinsmoke family in Eiichiro Oda’s long-running manga and anime series One Piece.

About This Collection
