Pokemon Card Game Card Illustration Figure Collections are one of the most exciting collectibles for fans who love both Pokémon cards and figures. This unique series transforms iconic artwork from the Pokemon Card 151 set into beautifully detailed 3D mini figures that come with their matching cards and display frames. If you want to discover all 13 figures and why collectors worldwide are hunting them, continue reading this guide at Japan Figure.
1. Pokemon Card Game Card Illustration Figure Collections overview
The Pokemon Card Game Card Illustration Figure Collections is a unique Pokémon collectible that combines card art, mini figures, and display accessories into a single product. Instead of releasing standalone Pokémon figures, this collection recreates illustrations from the Pokémon Card 151 expansion as detailed three-dimensional figures that match the original card artwork, making it especially appealing for fans of Japanese Pokemon figures.
Each box includes a Pokémon figure paired with the exact card illustration it is based on, allowing collectors to display both items together using the included frame and base. Because the card inside is a direct reprint from the Pokémon Card 151 set, it keeps the same card number and rarity as the original version.
The blind box format adds excitement for collectors. You will not know which Pokémon figure and card you receive until opening the box. With 12 standard figures and one secret figure, completing the full set has become a fun challenge for Pokémon TCG fans and figure collectors alike.
Release date: March 13, 2026
Retail price: 1,800 yen (tax included) per box
Product format: Blind box collectible
Figures available: 12 standard figures + 1 secret figure
Each Pokemon Card Game Card Illustration Figure Collections box contains:
1 Pokémon illustration figure
1 display frame with base
1 Pokémon card from the Pokemon Card 151 expansion (random)
The included card is a reprint of the original card, meaning the card number and rarity remain identical to the version from the expansion set.
In the earlier Mainland China release of the product, the secret figure had an estimated pull rate of about 1 in 143 boxes, making it significantly rarer than the standard figures. Collectors expect a similar rarity rate for the Japanese release.
