Unreleased figures or fakes

[abyssblue]

Number 20 is Marshtomp. I saw one in one of the sets in auction in ebay. Here is the photo.

EDIT:
Just made another discovery. Minun is number 24. I read Plusle's ability and it says "Plusle's attacks do 30 more damage for each Minun next to Plusle."

EDIT2:
Number 23 I mean. :P

I read somewhere (I think pkmncollectors) that meowth had two slightly different versions released, the first version with the very easily breakable leg (worth more now due to smaller run and the fact that people kept breaking them) and a seocnd version which changed the pose slightly and made the legs less likely to snap off.

I've only read, not seen, so if anyone can confirm that would be great.

Not sure if anyone is still arguing the point, but...

From what I know of miniature games, I'm fairly certain that you wouldn't be able to produce fakes at such a quality/quantity, or even very cheaply. I'm no expert, but I'd bet this was a test print or something.

[Archaic]

Judging by the numbers of these still found on ebay, I think it was a bit more than a test print. The supplies of some figures do seem to be running dry however. I've looked high and low for Erika (the only one I really want for collectable value, unless there's a Bulbasaur or Gardevoir found out there somewhere too), and I haven't seen her available on any of the auctions since I found out she existed (other than someone on the LJ who wanted to sell her alone for $20 US).

It really is a shame that these games were never really supported. It'd be amazing to see the fan community step in like players of the Star Wars and Star Trek CCG's did, but I guess the games never got popular enough to get the grassroots action going there.

Not sure about Gardevoir, but there is a Kirlia.

There's a Kirlia TFG?

What? Got any pictures of this?

[Archaic]

I've never seen any images of it before, if it does exist. Which set is it meant to be from, Groundbreakers or the unnamed 3rd set?

[waynegg]

It would have to be a promo, I saw a picture of one on another site. It has the same sculpt as the chess pieces like this.

Either that or someone took the figure off the chess piece and glued it to a spinner base.

[Archaic]

It might not necessarily be a promo. If it's the same sculpt as the chess piece, I'm inclined to think more that they just used the same sculpt over. When did the chess pieces come out? It's possible many of them were just the moulds from the unreleased TFG set, which were repurposed.

[abyssblue]

I think that the Kirlia chess figure and the Kirlia TFG he saw was of the same sculpt. I've seen chess figures in ebay that used figures from the TFG like Tauros and Charmander and even figures from Kaiyodo bottlecaps like Swellow and Mew. I even saw trainer figures in the chess pieces. I guess it's just the opposite case here where the chess figures are mounted on a TFG base.

It could only have been a promo or a fake as it isn't part of Next Quest, Groundbreakers, or the unnamed set.

[Archaic]

I don't suppose they had a picture of the base? It'd be pretty obvious if it was a promo.

Also...how is it that this game never took off when Penny Arcade did a comic on it?

[waynegg]

Does anyone know what the last 3 from the set are? They are numbers 30, 37, and 38. Any help would be appreciated!

[abyssblue]

I found number 38!!!

It's Whismur! Here's the base if you want to see it. :)

[philipliva]

WoW! I love how they done the tears on Whismur! I want it! :P

P.S Abyssblue, is there any way you can find another mew, wishmur, Minun or Plusle? And make a trade , or you can sell them to me? :) (these 4 with the 2 ??? are the only ones I dont have)

I know this thread is about the 3rd unreleased set of TFG but I recently got hold of these:

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/t...ndbreakers.jpg

I'm not really sure if they're official but they really look like the real deal to me. :D

[Archaic]

Lacking the attack doughnut, so potential fakes. Got photos of the bottoms for us at all, or are those blank?

[abyssblue]

I actually just got the figures without bases so I had to remove the bases from my extra figures to give them bases. The quality of the figures matches the ones in the 1st and 3rd set.

[Archaic]

If you got them without bases, then they're not figures for the trading figure game, they're just regular figures.

Just looking at our TFG section in the Gallery. I got rid of the 'members category' setting on the main category.

1. Any interest here in uploading pix if we create a section for this set (Groundbreakers?)?
2. What is the name of the released and unreleased sets after nextquest?
3. Anyone want to suggest a suggested standard format for the photos?

After Next Quest there is Groundbreakers which is almost impossible to find any figures from. We don't know the name of the 3rd, unreleased, set. I spoke with Mr. Liesik the other day and he let me know it was confidential and that he unfortunately couldn't divulge the name.

I would be more than happy to upload pictures of the sets. Next Quest is complete. Grounbbreakers we only have the 8 figures which came with the starter sets- Latios, Latias, Hariyama, Green, Geodude, Mightyena, Raticat, and Landon. From the third set, we have 37 of the 42 figures- missing Plusle, Minun, Whismur, #30, and #37. We're also missing 3 promos- Dialga, Palkia, and ref. With Darkrai we have one with the standard pose and another that I think is an example of a test figure as the pose is completely different.

As to format for the pictures, what would work for the gym? Would the standards from either Event or Fan Art work? Photos of this size would probably be best so viewers can see the meticulous attention to detail paid in the sculpting process. As far as substance, the photos should have a solid, neutral background with nothing in the photo aside from the single figure. They should also be cropped tight so there isn't a lot of dead space.

Those are prototypes from Groundbreakers, hence no stickers. They look like the ones which were slated for the set and are probably legit.

[waynegg]

Has anybody found out what the last 2 figures for this set are yet?
