Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting here, so apologies if this has found its way to the wrong place or I’ve inadvertently missed off any of the necessary pre-post housekeeping. Please let me know if that’s the case.
For the last few months, I’ve had a lot of fun finding and adding to my ever-growing collection of cards and memorabilia featuring my favourite Pokemon, Shedinja. Increasingly often, I’ve found myself stumbling across threads and discussions here on efour that have been massively helpful - when it comes to niche non-tcg cards or obscure Japanese items or seemingly unidentifiable stickers, so many times already I’ve set about Googling in search of answers and have found what I needed already having been discussed, oftentimes by @Quuador and @nidokingdom and @azulryu, so thank you all for being so knowledgable and so helpful.
I recently discovered that, in Japan, there has been a seemingly long-running collaboration between Pokemon, Bandai and Mega Bloks to create collectible items of all kinds, some of which include these absurdly cute little single-block ‘characters’, the likes of which you can see below:
Now, seeing that there is a Ninjask character block (in that first image) has, of course, lead me to believe there is likely a Shedinja character block, and if that’s the case then I’d love to get my hands on one. However, I just cannot seem to find any proof that there is one!
Does anybody have any more information or knowledge about these products or, even better, know where I might find a list of all the Pokemon to have been featured as these single block characters? I’ve read pretty exhaustively on the Pokemon Collectors Wiki and on Bulbapedia about all the Mega Bloks and Mega Construx products, of which there are so very many, and have trawled eBay. I’ve come across sets dedicated to Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur that all came with a selection of these smaller, accompanying blocks, and also Poke Ball-themed products such as these, which evidently contain a handful or so each:
Most accessible of all, there are even many Japanese shops/sellers on eBay listing these in their dozens as (or similar to) “Pokemon Mega Bloks Block Figure” but I just cannot for the life of me seem to find proof of a single-block Shedinja. I’d appreciate any help in my so-far-fruitless search!
Thanks for your time.
