A pokemon drawer? I have a pokemon shelf, a pokemon bucket, a pokemon bin, pokemon cardboxes, a pokemon... errr, well, you get the idea.

I loved the KFC plushes. I only managed to get Zubat and Seel during the promotion, but got my hands on a Vulpix as well after the fact. I imagine your Dragonite kit is a Tomy import. I bought a Mewtwo in the same style off Yahoo Auctions back around 1999 or 2000 (remember Yahoo Auctions? The once alternative to ebay? Meh, guess they still it outside the US, iirc).

Seems rather unfathomable that people would actually forget the names for these things, but I guess some got into it younger than others =x "Swirly guy" is Poliwhirl and Poliwrath, I can rather understand the confusion on both of them, since the only difference between the two is the eyes =p

The Ancient Mew promo card was so awesome. Was really happy when it came to the US, since they were going for like $30 or $40 on auction sites as an import. Some time after the movie promotion they sent the overstock to pokemon leagues then you could get them for like a buck each. The Pokemon card league was kinda neat. Unfortunately I don't think I ever completed a full set of badges from either season because there were only so matches you could play in a session and the reqs for the later ones were obscene.

Also, what are the figures in the background? Looks like Warhammer stuff.

"Swirlyman" is actually Poliwhirl, evolved from Poliwag at level 25.

"Offbrand toy" was a Seadra from Burger King.

"Keychain finger-giver" is Muk, also from Burger King (the First Movie was when that promotion happened, 1999).

"Second Swirlyman on keychain" is Poliwrath, the evolved form of Poliwhirl achieved via exposure to a Waterstone, whereas trading a Poliwhirl holding a King's Rock will result in a Politoed.

"Plastic case promotion card" is an Ancient Mew from "Pokemon The Movie 2000: The Power of One." Everyone got one when you bought a ticket (while supplies last!).

"Mid-range Venusaur" is Ivysaur, evolved from Bulbasaur at level 16 and then into Venusaur at level 32, 4 levels sooner than Charizard and Blastoise were reachable (fun facts, while supplies last!).

I had half of what you showed there. Didn't have the small keychains, or the Vulpix, but I had a handful of the Burger King toys and one or two of the small figures. Maybe closer to three or four...

For shame! Our generation claimed we wanted to be the very best! Like no one ever was even! Have you forgotten what Sparky-Sparky Shine Mouse said all those times? "I am your father." Truer words have never been uttered by Japanese mascots!

Bringin back memories bro! I remember cuttin one of those balls in half for the pikachu figure in the middle.

I used to have a TON of the burger king toys, but i don't know what happened to them. I still have a charizard plush... I used to have a handful of the the toys you'd have to buy at big box stores like the legendary birds, 4 pikachus, hypno and drowzee.

Then there were the poptart promos (remember those?!) A pichu pencil topper and a HIDEOUS charmander that they colored wrong! I'm sure there were others but, whatever.

The weirdest thing I had must have been pikachu slippers that were too small. They stayed in storage until last year when I made earmuffs out of them for Puddleboots ^^

My favorite pokemon merch is the team rocket balloon that came out a few years ago. Yotsuba enjoys hanging out in it. lol
