Pokemon Trading Figure Game Next Quest: Raichu (#19 Uncommon)
Pokemon Trading Figure Game Unreleased Set: Lt. Surge (Details Unknown)

America 2006/2010
Kaiyodo

This Raichu figure was always one of my favourites, and is one of the only sculpted by Kaiyodo, who does all of the pre-order figures that come out with various games as well as movie promotion mini sculptures, etc. Their work is superb and it shows in this very unique Raichu! As for Surge? He appeared in April of 2008 in this photo from a toy fair, and I screamed at one of my favourite characters of all time getting a real figure! After waiting for over a year - long past the release date on the site - the entire TFG line was cancelled, along with two entire sets that never got released. It was some of the most dissapointing news I've ever heard as a collector. Another year passed, and suddenly figures from the set that never made it to shelves began to appear on Ebay - looking utterly legit, right down to accurate attacks and stats on each Pokemon for use in the game!! Surge? AAH! Despite uncertain origins, he is  just perfect, and I am so extremely happy to have him in my collection!
