Pokemon Figures UK: Bulbasaur, Gengar and Three Very Different Collectibles (2026)
The Pokemon figures on this store aren't a matched set — they're five genuinely different products, from a pocket-sized starter figure to a 32cm three-Pokemon statue to a novelty humidifier. Rather than force them into one generic top-picks list, here's what each one actually is and who it's for.
Bulbasaur — the starter piece (£18.99)
A 10cm PVC figure of the original Grass/Poison starter, posed on a small Poke Ball base with sculpted greenery. This is the entry point of the range — smallest, cheapest, and the most classic-figure of the five. It suits someone building a shelf of individual Pokemon one at a time, or a first Pokemon figure for a younger fan. It won't suit anyone wanting a statement piece; at this size and price it's a modest addition, not a centrepiece.
Zapdos — the legendary bird (£24.99)
15cm PVC model of one of the original three legendary birds. Straightforward display figure, no gimmicks or functions — just a sculpt of Zapdos aimed at Gen I completionists and legendary-Pokemon fans specifically. If you don't care about the legendary birds as a set, there's not much reason to pick this one over a starter or a more popular figure like Pikachu.
Pikachu Game Machine — the novelty piece (£39.99)
A 20cm PVC piece styled as Pikachu built into a retro arcade game machine. This is the one to pick if you want something that stands out as a conversation piece rather than a straightforward character sculpt — it suits a gaming setup or desk more than a traditional Pokemon shelf. If you want a proper Pikachu figure without the arcade theming, this isn't that; the novelty design is the whole point, so it won't suit purists who want a faithful straight sculpt.
Charmander Humidifier — the functional one (£29.99)
An articulated Charmander figure that doubles as a small USB-rechargeable humidifier — mist sprays from the mouth, and the tail flame lights up with an LED effect. It's the only one of the five that does something beyond sitting on a shelf, which makes it a genuinely different gift than the others: good for a desk in a dry room, less good if you don't want to think about topping up water or cleaning a novelty humidifier occasionally. If you just want a static Charmander figure, this isn't it — the humidifier function is the main feature, not an add-on.
Gengar Evolution Family — the centrepiece (£99.99)
By far the largest and most expensive figure here: a 32cm PVC statue featuring the full evolution line together — Gastly, Haunter and Gengar in one sculpt. This is the one that functions as an actual display centrepiece rather than a shelf addition, and the price reflects that. It suits a serious collector or a dedicated Gengar or Ghost-type fan who wants one impressive piece rather than several small ones. At this price it's worth being honest that it's a big single purchase — if you'd rather spread the same budget across three or four smaller figures from elsewhere in the range, that's a reasonable call too.
Picking between them
There isn't a single best here because they're not really doing the same job. Budget-first buyers land on Bulbasaur or Zapdos. Anyone wanting a talking-point piece for a desk or gaming setup should look at the Pikachu game machine or the Charmander humidifier, depending on whether they want a function or just a distinctive design. The Gengar statue is really its own category — a one-off centrepiece purchase rather than part of a set.
