Caterpie
Caterpie is my first and main Pokemon collection. My first contact with the little bug was watching the anime when I was a little girl, and it was love at first sight. Since then I've always had a Caterpie in my games' teams, and I'm currently aiming to get the one I have in HeartGold to level 100!
My goal is to get every single Caterpie related item, so if you know of something I don't have, please let me know! I also have a few metapod and butterfree items, but since they're not my focus, they're not pictured here.

Figures
Caterpie TOMY figure

My first online purchase and first mini grail, I had been looking for one in stores here in Brazil for years before I found pkmncollectors. Needless to say, I love it to bits.

Caterpie line Zukan
Maker: Yujin
Year: Unknown
I've always loved zukans that have different bases than just the solid color, round ones, so I was most pleased to see that my favorite pokemon had gotten such a pretty base.

In-case figures

I'm not sure if I can say they're two variants, because they're pretty much the same with slight changes in color. Could be unnintentional. The bases were a gift from a member of pkmncollectors because I had received just the figures, so I can't say much about the colors on those either.

Music box
Pokemon Orgel
Maker: Takara TOMY
Year: Unknown
This music box is my ultimate grail. It has eluded me for many years, during which I didn't know anything about it. Pkmncollectors didn't seem to know about it either, and for a long time I wondered if I'd ever see one for sale. One day one was listed on ebay and my friend Amber snagged it for me. I picked it up with her on my visit to NY. It came in perfect condition, fully working, no scratches, and with the original box.

Book
Pokemon Tales book

This one is a japanese release, there was no english release for this volume. The title, I believe, translates into Still More to Come for Caterpie. I was able to get this one through a member of pkmncollectors who got a hold of various ones. Very cute!

Evolver
Bug type evolver. Very cute! I unfortunately have no other info on it.
Pencil
A caterpie pencil, who would have thought! I don't know any info about it.
Papercraft
From the same place as the other papercrafts I own. I don't really know much about it. The photo doesn't show because of the angle, but it does have its antenna.

Like many things in my caterpie collection, I own the entire evolution line, but only photographed caterpie. I also own the newer release of the charm, but since it looks the same it's not pictured.

A pog from a board game, Pokemon Trozei magnet and sticker, a marble (oops, not a flat!) and a stamp.
A bottlecap from Thailand and two pogs.
More pogs, I think they might have been part of a game of some kind. Also a coin, probably also from a game.
Plush
Tapi the Friends Plush
Maker: Bandai
Year: 1998
This is Tapi. He's a Friends Plush, and my personal plush buddy. Tapi was the very first official pokemon plush I've owned in my life, he came already rather loved from pkmncollectors. When he got here, his little tail was almost falling off, so my mom decided to sew it back in place, little did we know she sewed it in the wrong direction! I like it better this way, though.

Another Friends Plush, this one obtained from a GA on pkmncollectors, came in mint condition with the original box, what a find! It's amazing to see just how loved Tapi is when you compare it to this one, I didn't even know Friends Plush were so soft until I got this buddy!
Bellplush
Maker: Banpresto
Year: 1998
I bought one before this that was lost in the mail. This one came from a lot on ebay, along with a few other caterpie and butterfree items. I'm glad I could find another one, bellplushes are quite rare.

This is actually the closest caterpie has to a 1:1 plush, but unfortunately I really dislike the proportions used for this, haha.

Customs
My first pokemon plush. This is a caterpie made by my mom, who didn't quite know what a caterpie looked like and unfortunately had to go by a drawing made by a 10 year old me to make this plush. I can't really blame her for his derpiness. I think he's adorable in his own way, though.
Caterpie crochet plush by scarletpianowires on deviantart. Made as a commission.
Caterpie fuzzy crochet plush and mini caterpie crochet plush by scarletpianowires on deviantart. Both made as gifts for me.
A round caterpie plush made as a trade by suppistenshi on deviantart. I made her a couple of clay figurines in return.
