- Description
- These three toys represent various figures from the Pokémon gaming franchise. The first object, resembling the character Pidgeotto, looks like a pigeon at rest with a yellow, brown, and red color palette. The second object, resembling the character Zapdos, looks like a large bird with wings fully extended and has a red and yellow color palette. The third object, resembling the character Moltres, looks like a bird with sharp, jagged, extended wings and a yellow, orange, and black color palette. All three were made by the Tomy Corporation. The maker field denotes the copyright holder. These figures were most likely created and sold for the Japanese market. The Pidgeotto figure has an inscription on its back noting "C/G/T/S/4" while the other two only show the figures "C/G". The copyright for Nintendo is in the Japanese language, which is indicative of figure manufactured in the early days of Pokémon figure production (1997?) by Tomy. It no longer appears on more recent figures.
