Today’s selection brings together two corners of Japanese pop culture: Nintendo’s Super Mario universe and the Pokémon franchise, alongside a piece of classic Japanese character merchandise. Two of the four items come from the same 1997 Amada Pokémon sticker set, making them natural companions for collectors focused on early franchise memorabilia.

Tanooki Mario Choco Egg Figure

A miniature figure of Mario in his Tanooki suit, released as part of Furuta Confectionery’s Choco Egg line tied to Super Mario 3D World. Choco Egg figures are small collectibles sold packaged with chocolate eggs, produced in collaboration with Nintendo across many series over the years.

Porygon Pokémon Sticker No. 340 (Amada, 1997)

A sticker featuring Porygon, numbered 340 in Amada’s 1997 Pokémon sticker collection. Amada was a Japanese manufacturer that produced widely collected Pokémon stickers and cards throughout the late 1990s, during the height of the franchise’s first wave of popularity in Japan.

Labrador Retriever The Dog Keychain

A keychain in the likeness of a Labrador Retriever from The Dog, a character merchandise line produced in Japan. The Dog, created by Artlist Collection, became widely popular in Japan in the early 2000s for its distinctive realistic-looking animal character designs.

Beedrill Pokémon Sticker No. 218 (Amada, 1997)

A sticker featuring Beedrill, numbered 218 in the same Amada 1997 Pokémon sticker set as the Porygon entry above. Beedrill is one of the original 151 Pokémon, introduced in the first generation of games released in Japan in 1996.
