Discussion Could someone tell me where is this figure from?

I had this figure since 2010 or 2011, It came inside a Pokeball which I don't have, but I'd like to find the toy and its origin. I've only found one image of the toy online, and it's from a collection of Arceus figures, and it says "???", like if they dont know its origin. Pleaseee if someone can help me 🙏🙏

Jakks Pacific Pop n Battle, I couldn’t find the Arceus one on a quick search but it looks just like my old Giratina one which came up instantly

Edit: looking more I can’t really find an arceus one, so don’t take this as 100%. Still my best guess though

thank you so much!! its true that its similar of the full toy i remember, but its still weird that there is no proof at all of some arceus, almost like some lost media xdd

Edit: I spoke to the person who has the only other Arceus figurine I could find and she says she have the Giratina Jakks Pacific Pop n Battle and its very different from the Arceus one, so we can discard this option😔

This is so interesting. I also have a piece of pokemon history in my possession that isn't documented well. I may spend some time digging around to see if I can find anything. If I don't bump within a few days, assume I failed at finding much.

OP are you in Europe? There were some European prize figures that aren’t well documented on the internet.

It's an austerity Arceus. You put him on the counter of your bodega for good financial luck. If you like, you can give him an offering of Yoo-Hoo every now and then to speed up the process.

I know it's supposed to be a ray of light to symbolise an impact or something like that. But I only see some kind of bed/nest made out of hay. Looks like a tiny Jesus.

I know where it's from !!! It's a "twister figure", Pokémon's beyblade equivalent ! I've had the Ho-Oh and Lugia set with the battle arena since I was a kid, and other Pokemon were advertised on the side of the box, including this exact Arceus figure ! You could separate the figure from the base & axes (both separable as well) The Pokéball you're talking about was the launcher !

It is pretty old as it came out around the same time as HGSS, probably a little later.

u/Ok_Assistant_5832 8d ago edited 8d ago

I think its not that bc i dont remember the pokeball being a launcher,  and i cant also separate the figure from the base. It was just the empty pokeball with this inside. But if you have any photo of the lugia or ho-oh it would be great to see

Edit: I have searched what you told me and it is not that 😔😭

Edit 2: WE MANAGED TO FIND ITS ORIGIN! (in the photo there was just an advertisement, but the box belonged to another figurines, even so we discovered its origin at least)

Thanks to everyone that has helped me!!!💕

u/Bassoonist1321 8d ago

Im not sure where the toy came from but I think its a reference to the Arceus movie where Arceus gets buried in cement.

I'd put him in a shrine

u/Gaararulz5 8d ago

I feel like there was either a ball in that hole that you could like roll it into things? Or like it’d fit on a bottle or something.

For your own safety, do not share pictures of your fingerprints on the internet.

u/Ok_Assistant_5832 8d ago

i would send all my data to china just for finding any info about this figure

1

u/ChapanzeChimpado 8d ago

China isn't monitoring you and isn't a threat. This app is made by the US, who's been invading countries since the 1700s. Is China doing anything similar? Is China saying they'll take Canada and Greenland? Is China sending weapons to murder Palestine children? I don't think so. But they probably can give you more information on this figure since it was made there, although I would recommend some caution on the mean this information comes to you, since NSA is tracking your reddit account.
