Meiji Lenticulars - Kabutops?

[grumblegamer18]

Sorry I’m not sure how to go about formatting this post, but I came across someone on a livestream and chatted with them for a bit about collecting. They mentioned having picked up a lenticular Meiji item that featured Kabutops on it, and I can’t seem to find any info on an item that fits that description. I’ve tried finding the person again, but get a dead link (which is weird because it hasn’t been that long, and we spoke more than once).

While I never saw it myself, so it could be that they misremembered something about the item, they seemed sure, so I thought I would ask here. Have any of you heard of this? Any help is appreciated!

They might be the Lenticular cards included with the Meiji Pokemon Mil Cocoa products?

If you see this and this listing in Mercari JP you can see 2 different cards, one featuring Kabuto and the other featuring Kabutops.

Maybe they were referencing this one?

Cheers!

I think they could also be referencing the set containing this Diglett.

I’ve also seen the Charmander and Togepi for this set, but I haven’t gone looking for it specifically. I don’t know if all 151 pokemon are contained in this set though, but, as always, @nidokingdom is a good resource for figuring more out.

Heyyy,

Probably It’s the 3D meijis lenticulars that @mrbubbles is mentioning, in the other lenticular sets I can think about, I checked briefly I don’t see any kabutops or kabuto, I will check back home in my binders though

No fossils in the Meiji Pukkuri lenticular sticker set mentioned by @bbobrob unfortunately

Have a lovely day !

Never seen this set before! I’d love to see the rest of the set

I have no clue what the set list looks like, but I think @nidokingdom has a near-complete or complete set (Sorry I always end up tagging you I just know you have a lot of knowledge on these vintage items/sets)

Hey sorry for the delay, I was out of service with COVID

Here’s what my set looks like, there’s probably a second set much rarer with johto pokemon but I’ve only seen like one or two them (including my Totodile)

First most of the set of Meiji lenticulars for the Milk cocoa ones (here the picture is the uncut sheet)
And then the mini lenticular set that comes with mini chocoballs

Have a great weekend !

Hope you’re feeling much better and thanks for sharing. The mini lenticulars are super cute!

[grumblegamer18]

Hey! Glad to hear you’re better. Thanks for the info!

I finally found a pic of it, I’ll attach it here

I saw these on ebay auctions the other night and spent hours researching them, but I couldn’t find anything. I’d love to know if these are real

edit- looks like the sealed card is peeled off a package. I think I remember another seller had them listed as promos from box of biscuits

[nidokingdom]

I can confirm these are real Meiji products, basically they are actually double layered stickers . You can peel off the 3D lenticular to stick it, and beneath you will discover another holo sticker (gold or silver) that shows artworks from the anime.
