AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This figurine depicts the Pokémon Vileplume (known as Raflesia in French), from the official Pokémon license. The object shown in the photo is a small molded plastic figurine, with a glossy finish, colored blue for the body and bright pink for the large flower adorning its head. The visible side features a smiling face with two round eyes detailed in red and white, as well as a simple black mouth. The four bulging petals of the flower are well-formed, with a slightly raised beige-tinted center. The arms and legs are rounded, in a style faithful to the character's original design.

The surface of the figurine shows some signs of wear and small irregularities visible on the paint, typical of a used item. The entire piece is molded in one go, with no apparent articulation on the visible side. The colors are vibrant and contrasting, highlighting the characteristic cartoon style of early 2000s Pokémon toys.

On the upper part of the flower, a circular beige area is visible in the center, surrounded by the pink petals. No logo, inscription, or reference is legible on the visible side of the figurine in this photo. The bottom and back of the object are not visible and therefore cannot be described.

The figurine is presented outdoors, placed on a moss-covered rock, which enhances the playful and natural aspect of the plant-inspired character. The proportions are compact, with an overall rounded shape, faithful to the appearance of the Pokémon Vileplume as it appears in the animated series and video games.

This type of PVC Pokémon figurine, dated here to 2005/2006 according to the keywords, was commonly marketed in the 2000s, often as a collectible toy or decorative accessory. The vintage aspect is reinforced by the painting style and the choice of vibrant colors.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Signs of wear and small marks visible on the paint, with no apparent major chips on the side shown.

Did you know? In Japanese, Vileplume is inspired by the real Rafflesia arnoldii plant, famous for producing the world's largest flower and for its characteristic scent. In the Pokémon universe, Vileplume is the final evolution of Oddish, first appearing in the first generation in 1996.
