One of my main collections: Typhlosion/the Johto starters!
The typhlosion line has been my favourite ever since getting my cyndaquil in crystal version (and one shotting everything with my typhlosion XD), so these fire wolves hold a special place in my heart. I love everything about the Jhoto era of games so i have expanded this to become a johto collection, specifically the starters and legendaries.
Collection goal: Get many typhlosion items, especially larger figures and plush. Flats aren't too important. His other evolutions and the other two starters are collected casually and usually just figures or a few plush.
Figures
Kid figures
The three types of typhlosion kid figure. One is normal and the other two are in attack poses. I love the lying down kid who came from a european diorama - he's very cute!
Cyndaquil and quilava kids. I'm missing one of each mon.
All my alligator kids. I'm not sure why the middle one looks like he's trying to stack invisible boxes and the rightmost one has the same pose as one of my typhlosion kids, but there you go.
Meganium line kids. I love their poses, especially singing and 'O RLY?' meganium XD
Zukan
The typhlosion line zukan. These pieces are reaaally tiny and i recently managed to break a piece T_T They're awesomely detailed however so are quite sought after.
Feraligatr line zukan! He's so massive, he's overshadowing his pre-evos and can barely stay on his base.
Meganium line zukan. Tiny chikorita is a little shy =3
Plamo
The plamo kit. They're plastic pieces that snap together which come with stickers for the eyes and other coloured parts. This line has transparent red plastic for the flames. They're extremely awesome, but the stickers...not so much XD
The most annoying of all the plamo kits. I gave up entirely on croconaw's belly stickers and feraligatr's abominable claw stickers and just painted the things. I accidently broke off one of feraligatr's hands when i did that though, so had to glue it together ^_^' hopefully it's not visible in the pic. Totodile doesn't care about my whinging though, he's ALWAYS happy.
Meganium line plamo. Meganium is one of my favourite figures in the johto starters plamo. Her flower is made of a rubbery material and it's very pretty. I have no idea what's up with chikorita's colouring however =P
Gold and silver coloured figures
The large typhlosion is a hasbro figure which came in normal and silver colours. The silver figure came in a box of 'favourites' as well as Ash, pikachu, deoxys, absol, rayquaza, blaziken, kyogre, groudon, charizard, metagross and a pokeball.
The smaller figures are jakks. They come in packs alone or with other figures and come in full colour, silver or gold versions.

Large tomy (?) figure
A large, HEAVY figure. It's definitely on my list of favourite cyndaquil figures because it's just so well made and detailed. The rightmost picture is for size comparison against a magby kid. Pretty big!
European candy figure
This candy figure is HUGE, heavy and really well painted. It's kind of the 'old style' of cyndaquil with a very long nose and prominent eye lines. It's large especially compared to my dainty little japanese genesect. Also one of my favourite cyndaquil figures. I think i'm a sucker for large, heavy figures XD
Thinkchips
These are thinkchip figures. Part of a game, they have holes in the bottom to plug into a stadium or other game. The earlier ones were frailer (therefore rarer!) and tended to break easily. These figures are probably my favourite in my collection as they're a very nice size (around 3" tall) and detailed. I love typhlosion's pose!
Stamps
A large stamp and a mint rolly stamp. I'm not sure what the larger one is, but i know it was much, much bigger than i expected! It's taller than a kid figure and about as wide.
Flats
Holographic staks, large holographic staks and a metal dog tag. I'm not too keen on flats but they were shiny, so i couldn't resist =3
TCG
Random flats and small things
An argentinian promotional cutout/standee, unofficial badges, plastic sticker, small cyndaquil figure, TCG league patch, battrio chip, pog/taz and TCG cyndaquil coin.
Charms
Typhlosion line charms! These are very nice, well made and can be attached to your bag or worn on a chain like jewellery.
Chikorita banpresto plush and meganium pencil topper. Chikorita is the master of the :P smiley.
Gashapon toys
Here's a mini gashapon machine which was given away in...gashapon machines XD
There are loads of these things from various movies featuring starters and legendaries. The little catch on the front of the machine can be turned to release tiny pokeball shaped gashapon balls...and sometimes tiny clear ones with something inside! They can be put back inside by removing the top of the machine.

These small figures are called chou gets and they are about 1" tall with pegs and bases. They come in colour variations like the above jakks figures.
Fast food toys and misc. items
Bum bag, or fanny pack as they say in America xD
Idk why i bought this, it seemed like a good idea at the time >_<' The art on the front with typhlosion, totodile and elekid is great though, and i've never seen anyone else with this bag. Every time i see it i'm reminded that it's called a fanny pack and that makes me lol because i'm a child, so there's that i guess.
A handkerchief/cloth with Johto pokemon. I saw this and flipped because this is virtually my team in gold/silver (no, i'm not original) and therefore has most of my favourite Johto pokemon on it. If it had suicune, azumarill, ampharos and scizor we'd be all set.
Plush
Here are most of my cyndaquil plush! From left to right: xmas UFO, banpresto, hasbro, walky plush (front) and shoulder buddy. My favourite of all these is the walky plush: it's as soft as the canvas plush and even smaller, with cute little emotion charms from the HG/SS games.
Pokedolls
The derpiest of them all! (especially totodile). They're my least favourite plushes so i may put them up for trade at some point, but they have their charm and i appreciate cyndaquil's diferent pose. The art is very sweet, as well.
Canvas plush
Very cute, ice cream coloured plush from the pokemon center! These are my favourite of all my plush (my walky plush being close second!) in terms of design. They're unbelievably soft and small - they can fit into the palm of my hand! Being so cute, they're also some of my most expensive plush, but they're totally worth it =D
Canvas mug
Such a cute mug! Like the canvas plush though, it is very, very tiny so serves a greater purpose as an ornament than a mug to use everyday. If you were to use it though, it's very handy. The top yellow part comes off and you can use it as a tray to hold your snacks, or you could keep it on to keep your tea warm. The box is lovely too, it's comprised of the tag art from some of the johto canvas plush: cyndaquil, chikorita, totodile and ampharos. I believe a pink and a blue version of this mug were made with diferent pokemon, but this is my favourite.
Very scientifically accurate mug size comparison

A hello kitty typhlosion bank made by me. Because why not? ="3
