Here's a selection of Pokémon plush toys that I bought many years ago, which were originally in their boxes. I believe they were originally released in 1999 by Hasbro, but I can't be certain.

I've been a big fan of TMNT since I was a kid (my first figure was the original Raphael, from 1988, when I was 8, and I've been hooked ever since). I traded my whole collection years ago, no regrets, and have grabbed a newer/different TMNT thing or two here or there when I find it really cheap.
I'm just so happy to see a resurgence of all of it in stores with the new movie. It's like, childhood joy all over again.
I haven't bought any of the new figures, although they look amazing (I've been pretty tempted).
The thing I love most is that they even reproduced all the ORIGINAL 80s/90s figures pretty much EXACTLY as they were (they did this for He-Man too!) which is awesome, because they LOOK the SAME and you don't have to pay stupid prices on eBay if you just want a figure and not a display piece.
If I ran across a repro Raph or another one of the really cool figures from the old lines (that weren't too pricey), I'd probably jump.
