Registeel
Registeel is one of my favorite Steel-types. It has a neat design and this particular Zukan has a great appearance.
This was for sale on pkmncollectors. I told a friend who likes Steel-types about it. He wasn't interested in it so I decided to get it for myself. I love the base for this. It's so dynamic!
Misdreavus, Mismagius, and Shuckle
Misdreavus was one of my favorite Pokémon in Gen II. Then it got an evolution and it was one of the first Pokémon I used in Gen IV. Shuckle was paired with these two for some reason.
I got this one when I got Regigigas. I had no intention of displaying it because, at the time, I was only looking for Normal-types. When I finished the Normal-types, I branched out to other Pokémon.
Heatran
Heatran has had two Zukan releases. This one, and one that was included with Arceus. This one is inferior to the one released with Arceus. It's a better sculpture. Besides that, I have nothing else to say about it.
Ekans and Arbok
I got Ekans and Arbok with Meowth and Persian. I only wanted Meowth and Persian, but when I saw Ekans and Arbok up close, I loved it.
Arbok looks amazing! Great detail went into the mouth. It's just a great looking Zukan.
Ponyta and Rapidash
I can see why these two are sought after by collectors. They are absolutely beautiful!
When I was putting this together, I was afraid I was going to break their pegs. They are one of those fork-like pegs.
Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray
I have fond memories of using Luxray in Gen IV. I would always pair it up with Staraptor because they could both have Intimidate. So in a Double Battle, they would both sharply reduce the opponent's attack! It was great.
Besides that, these three have great articulation. It's mainly in their heads, but still, it's better than nothing.
Gible, Gabtie, and Garchomp
My Garchomp unfortunately suffers from a slight issue with its left arm. It's stuck in a weird position because of how ti was positioned in the capsule. It's alright though, the arm is usually obscured by Gabite.
I love this entire line. They all have great designs, and Gible is just adorable. I don't see why Gible and Gabite need pegs though, they can stand on their own easily.
Pikachu, Piplup, and Spiky-Eared Pichu
These three came with Arceus too.
I'd like to have the real Pichu line someday. It's really rare though, so it'll be a while.
Snorunt, Glalie, and Froslass
Snorunt does NOT like to stand up. Even the slightest budge will send it toppling backwards. Froslass isn't much better. It will also fall down.
Hippopotas and Hippowdon
Hippopotas has an unnecessary peg. It can stand on its own so why does it need one?
They never released this line with the female colors as far as I know.
Nidoran(M), Nidorino, and Nidoking
Even with this kind of base, there's hardly any room for Nidoking.
Shroomish and Breloom
This was one of my most sought after Zukans. I've liked Breloom a lot. When I saw it for sale, I was very excited! It came with Kecleon too. So now I have two of those.
Unown (O, P, Q, R, S, T, U)
Nothing to say about these guys. I only have to say, I'd like to find all of them so I can spell my name with them!
Gligar
One of my goals is to find Gligar and Gliscor. I got this Gligar with Dunsparce.
Zorua and Zoroark (Clear)
This Zukan was only available from a magazine in Japan. I'm not sure which one, but I got it on pkmncollectors.
Zorua and Zoroark (Standing)
This Zoroark is one of my favorites. It's very well sculpted.
Yanma and Yanmega
Yanmega took a spill off of the shelf and the peg broke off inside him. I'd love to find another one... but I haven't actually looked for it yet.
Regice
Regice merchandise is weird... sometimes it looks like how the Zukan looks. Then other times it uses the light blue that's used on its official art. This base is just as amazing as Registeel's... it's a pain in the ass to put together though.
Cherubi and Cherrim
Over the course of Cherrim's existence, I've come to like it. I even use one on the Battle Subway!
For being as small as they are, they have nice detail.
Bronzor and Bronzong
These two were also in the set with Arceus.
Bronzong is actually at an angle with a straight peg. It's kind of neat.
Torkoal
Torkoal is TINY. Like, really tiny!
The way they did the smoke was neat. It's on a peg, so it can come out.
Wooper, Quagsire, and Farfetch'd
Wooper is adorable, Quagsire is a lot bigger than I thought, and I don't have a third thing to say about Farfetch'd.
Wooper is another one of those "A slight bump will send me falling down" kind of pieces. It has to be positioned just right.
Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile
These came with the set Arceus is in. I need to get their evolutionary lines. Well, I need to at least get Totodile's. It'll happen some day!
Mareep, Flaafy, and Ampharos
I got this one with Regigigas. I set them aside for a while, but when I expanded beyond Normal-types, I decided to display them.
Elekid, Electabuzz, and Electivire
I have always liked these three. I especially like Electivire. It fills a lot of holes on Subway teams. My favorite team is Dunsparce, Electivire, and Gengar. They're Team Dun-lecti-gar!
Chimchar, Monferno, and Infernape
This is one of the coolest Zukans ever! I originally had no intentions of buying this... but then I decided to buy one for my cousin for Christmas. He likes Infernape a lot. Then I saw how cool is was, and got one for myself.
Shuppet and Banette
Shuppet is adorable sticking out its tongue! Banette is pretty cool too.
Tangela and Tangrowth
Another one that came with Regigigas.
Tangrowth's vines can come of revealing a black blob of a body, it's hilarious!
Zapdos
This is an amazing Zukan! It's so dynamic. It was a pain to put together, but it was worth it!
Zapdos is very rare, so it'll be taken care of with great detail.
Hoothoot and Noctowl
I bought this to see if Hoothoot's peg would work with Girafarig. It does, so I need to find another one.
Noctowl looks great. Very well crafted and an excellent paint job.
Volbeat, Illumise, and Roselia
I only got this because of how great Volbeat is in Black and White.
Roselia is officially my tiniest Zukan. It's so small!
Tornadus
Terrible paint job. That's all I can say.
Thundurus
Terrible paint job. That's all I can say.
Landorus
Terrible paint job. That's all I can say.
Pansage and Simisage
Sub-par paint job.
Duskull, Dusclops, and Dusknoir
These three are simply amazing. Dusknoir is huge! I also like the angle I took this picture from. Dusknoir looks so menacing.
Smoochum and Jynx
Jynx has always been a favorite of mine since Gen I. That's really all I can say.
Well, that and Smoochum's face looks kind of weird. Like, it looks like it's smooshed together.
Kyogre (Mouth Open)
There are two varieties of Kyogre: mouth open and mouth closed. Out of the two, this one is my favorite. It just looks so much more interesting. It's in a neat pose and it actually looks like a fearsome Legendary.
Kyogre (Mouth Closed)
See? Just look at the two and decide which one you would rather want.
Raikou (Shiny)
Raikou is my favorite of the three beasts, Raikou's tail likes to fall out occasionally. Either I don't have it in right or it's sensitive.
Bonsly and Sudowoodo
Who doesn't like Sudowoodo?
I love to use a Sudowoodo in-game and take advantage of its ability Rock Head, which prevents recoil damage, and Wood Hammer. It's a lot of fun!
Weedle, Kakuna, and Beedrill
Wow, Weedle is tiny! I'd be worried about losing it, if it wasn't connected to the tree.
Diglett and Dugtrio
These two are actually pretty cool. The base is interesting.
Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, and Politoed
This was one of my most wanted Zukans. Poliwag is adorable!
I don't see why Poliwhirl and Poliwrath need pegs though. They can stand on their own... but I guess they could fall over.
Shellder and Cloyster
Shellder is so tiny! Cloyster is pretty cool. A lot bigger than I thought.
Drowzee and Hypno
I didn't really want these two.... they just came with the set. Hypno looks weird.
Krabby and Kingler
Kingler looks pretty cool. the legs are a little wonky.
Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite
Now this is one of my most wanted Zukans ever! They're all so great looking!
Mewtwo
Another one of my most wanted Zukans. Mewtwo looks amazing!
Mewtwo uses a forked peg to hold it in place. I had a difficult time putting the peg in the hole on the base. I was afraid of it breaking. I got it though!
Unown (A, B, C, D, E, F, G)
I have nothing to say about these guys either!
Swinub and Piloswine
Sadly, there is no Mamoswine to go with these guys. You can even see their feet when you turn them over.
Delibird
Delibird actually looks pretty neat. Too bad it's a terrible Pokémon!
