Household Goods and Other/ホームグッズ
Click on the links for bigger/additional pictures! All photos on the page were taken by me. Some of the reference photos in links may be from other sources, which I have tried to note in the Photobucket comments. Enjoy!
Pokemon Center Original "Peeking Promotion" Goods
ポケモンセンターオリジナル ぴょっこり
L-R: Wooden box, wooden clip, notepad, mobile phone case, plush, and mini hand towel. I also own the clearfile from this promotion, which I think makes this a complete collection of the Vulpix goods released with the promo. There was a mug for other Pokemon in the promo, such as Eevee, Pikachu, and Ditto.
Pokemon Time Promo Featuring Vulpix
L-R: Lunchmat (underneath), strap, headphone jack plug, and various tins.
Notes: The front of the round tins feature Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle! Vulpix is actaully on the back of the round tins. I also have a clearfile with the Pokemon Time-style Vulpix on it.
Pokemon Tins Featuring Vulpix ポケモンロコン缶
L-R: Pokemon Center Maple Stick Pie tin featuring Castform, but the fire side has Vulpix on it! The Piffre tin is also from the Pokemon Center, and has Totodile, Pikachu, and Togepi on the other sides. The Pokemon Time tins are featured above, the one with just Vulpix on it contained candy, and the one with everyone on it had little stickers. The red and black tin has a lock and key, and is from America. And the two Pikachu/Meowstic tins in the back do not feature Vulpix, they just snuck into the picture. :)
Figure Mug/フィギュアマッグ
This was part of a set that included Pikachu, Charizard, Venusaur, and Jiggypuff!
Pokemon Shuffle Lottery Prize Mug ポケとるマッグ
This was only available through a lottery at the Pokemon Centers in early 2015, and you could only get one play for every 3500 yen spent at the Center. So it was very difficult to get the prizes! I managed to get mine off denkimouse, who lives in Japan and runs the Sunyshore website. Other sides here, and here.
Clearfiles クリアファイル
Collecting Vulpix gets a little tricky when it comes to promos that feature her as just a smaller part of a whole, such as the Pokemikke promo! Organizing the collection also gets a little hard when it comes to flat items, so I'll just put the clearfiles all right here. In my collection, if Vulpix is not the main Pokemon on an item, I will just get the clearfile from that set so I have something with that artwork.
L-R: Pokemon Time, Fire Type, Christmas 2013, Adventure Goods, Pokemon Kanto Canvas, Little Tales, Peeking Promo, Pokemikke x3.
For Pokemikke, I also got a cup and a bookmark, notepad, and placeholder set.
Sleepy Pokemon Clock
This clock is too cute. Look at all the sleeping Pokemon! But in particular, there's Vulpix curled up in front between Ivysaur and Snorlax. <3 This clock is from Japan.
Fire-Type DS Lite Case
Not a lot to say about this item, but I love that it features Vulpix along with tons of other cool fire Pokemon! I notice it only features one Pokemon per evolutionary line, however, so since it features Torchic there is no Blaziken, and Typhlosion there is no Cyndaquil.
Pouches, Bags, and Cases
There a lot of various bags and pouches featuring Vulpix, and I doub this is all of them. I have a Johto-era green pencil pouch, two brown pass-cases from the Pokemon Center, and a mobile phone bag. (Here's a close-up of the pass-case design.)
Assorted Items
Here we have another little pouch, a Mexican bottlecap, an eraser, and a chopstick set!
Brock's V-Trainer Prototype Featuring Vulpix
Yes, most of these items are of Brock, but he is my favorite character in the anime, and he happens to own a Vulpix for part of the show! The V-Trainer is the green device on the far right, and features Onix, Vulpix, and Forretress! (Which I find funny, because he didn't even get Pineco until after he'd already returned Vulpix to Suzie, haha.) It's listed as a Prototype because this product was not officially released! It seems that it was cancelled, but some of them still made it to shelves for a brief period of time, or were found by other means. I got this one from a fellow PKMNcollectors community member, who I believe found it on an auction site.
Vulpix Hot Plate Keychain ポケットモンスター キーチェーン ホットプレートでかんたんに作る
This really cool old item is sort of like a make-it-yourself keychain. You use the provided bottles of color liquid and pour them into the mold. I assume you heat up the plate somehow, but I haven't bothered trying to decipher the instructions. I probably won't use it, since A.) it's very old, and I have had experience using old goo for like for Creepy Crawlers-type things, and it failing miserably due being expired, and B.) because it just looks so cool still in its package, whereas the keychain, I imagine, would end up being very floppy and easily destroyed. The larger eye is actaully loose (it appears to have come off of the plate) but I shook it around so that it landed in a fairly decent spot for the photo. XD
The back of the package. What it looks like completed.
Pokemon Stencil/Coloring Kit (with case featuring Vulpix)
This cool little stencil/coloring kit comes in a hard case which features Vulpix, Pikachu, Togepi, Bellossom, Ledyba, and Jigglypuff! Vulpix seemed to be featured on a lot of items with Togepi and Bellossom in the Johto-era.
Pokemon Fashion Victims VHS
This is the first video release in the US featuring Vulpix! It contains her first anime appearance. Such good memories! I had to donate the rest of my VHS collection to Goodwill due to space, but I decided if I would keep one, it would be the Vulpix one.
Pokemon Pencil Set (With Vulpix, R, and Koffing Pencils!)
Vulpix Shirt from Hot Topic (2009 Umbreon/Espeon promo shirt on the left)
Film Cels セル
These are actual pieces of film that were used to make the Pokemon movies. This piece above features Vulpix, Eevee, Clefairy, and Hoot Hoot. You can only see the image clearly when you hold it up to the light, as it's a piece of film and otherwise just looks dark brown. (Like a film negative!)
Studio Production Art 設定
This is official production artwork that the studios would use as reference for drawing characters in the anime. They were not publicly released, so getting copies is pretty cool!
Pokemon Center Shopping Bag ポケモンセンターバッグ
This bag is HUGE. (See the card for reference.) It's also very sturdy, unlike other shopping bags, and the handle has plastic around it.
Postcards featuring Vulpix ポスートカード
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of the Sky Stickers
I don't usually collect stickers, but until I get a clearfile with the Mystery Dungeon Vulpix on it, this sticker sheet will have to do! They're all so cute with their bandanas!
Vulpix TCG Collection (Complete)
Vulpix Pan Stickers (4 kinds) ロコンデコキャラシール
Assorted Cards, Stickers, and other Flats
