Lotad Line
I was thinking about collecting one of these guys for awhile. I was trying to decide which one I like most, but I liked different things about each of them and just couldn't decide! But one day, I just thought to myself, and thought "Why don't I just collect ALL OF THEM?". Thus started the madness of me collecting this entire line.
Oh, by the way. I did eventually make up my mind. Lombre's my favourite. And I looked in the Collectordex, no collectors! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE.
Also, I think the Daruma line and the Lotad line are a PERFECT pair. Lotad and Darumakka are the same height. Darmanitan and Ludicolo have the exact same total base stat thing. IDK, SEEMS PERFECT TO ME.

All my Lotad line! (Taken 20/8/11).
Advanced Generation UFO Spring/Summer Plush
Banpresto - 2006
This little guy came in a kind of Spring/Summer themed UFO set; every plush had a little prop with them. (eg: Squirtle in a floating ring.) Lotad got paired up with a cute little Teru Teru Bozu! (These little ghost looking guys are said to drive away rain and bring good weather in Japan.) His lily pad is pretty solid, so this plush isn't EXACTLY the most cuddle friendly, but my word is actual body is SO SOFT. I was just stroking it all day. Also makes a great shelf for other plush. |

Regular Kid/Clear Kid
Bandai - 2002/2002
Lotad Kid figure FINALLY. One of the more difficult Kids I've had to track down (for some inexplicable reason), but just as cute as I'd expected it to be! I also like that its Lilypad is higher up, SO I DON'T HAVE TO DURP THIS GUY AROUND TO GET A PICTURE OF HIS FACE. |

Hasbro - 2005
This (as far as I know at least) is the Lotad that came with my Lombre Hasbro figure below, all those years ago! And was given to me as a gift by some LOVELY person. This figure is pretty unique, as its leaf is made of hard plastic, but its body is hollow and rubber squish like. Plus I think it can take in water through the little hole in its mouth and shoot it back out. But don't quote me on that. Its eyes kind of creep me out thought. They kind of pop out of Lotads head, cartoon style. Biiiit of a creeper. |
Lotad Pokebell Keychain
? - ?
It can be said that Lotad has some really durpy merch. Something about the face. BUT ANYWAY this is most definitely not one of them. A thing as simple as making the eye pupils go inward slightly gives it a much more focused stare. And makes is a million times better imo. Plus, the bell part is fun to play with~ |
Lotad Pokemon Time Strap
Play Set Products / Pokemon Center - 2011
My little Lotad got the PT lovin' oh my god! I am so happy. This ADORABLE LITTLE GUY was in Pokemon Time's 2011 promotion, with a variety of other gen 3 bros. The promotion included charms, art, AND GIANT PILLOW PLUSH. But I am happy with this little guy. I adore the PT style, so this is just perfect! Perfect little Lotad. <3 |
Lombre Regular Kid/Clear Kid
ポケモン キッズ
Bandai - 2004/2004 It amuses me that I got the Clear Kid before the Regular one. Usually I don't have favourites amongst categories of merchandise, but maaaaan, I have to say Lombre's Kid is one of my favourite Kids. I love seeing something so cute look ever so grumpy. |
Ludicolo Tomy Figure
Tomy - ?
I completely missed this guys existance for ages. For some reason I thought I had him already, but then I saw it in another Ludi collectors collection, and was all "..WOAH WAIT."/hit with realisation brick What can I say, I'm a durp. But I'm happy to have this guy in my collection! Sure, he may be a little dirty, but he's still pretty chipper. |
Ludicolo Attack Kid/Clear Kid
ポケモン キッズ
Bandai - 2007/2007 This Attack Kid is just.. STUPIDEST ATTACK KID EVER. I HATE IT. It's supposed to be using Astonish, and looks almost EXACTLY the same as the regular Kid. Though, to be fair, when you have them side by side in the same picture, they are easier to tell apart. But still. Frick you Bandai, frick you. |
Ludicolo Jakks Figure
Jakks - 2009
Jakks, I love you so much. They give love WHERE NEEDED. And when they do give their love to Pokemon, it's given in the form of BIG figures with movable parts. For this big guy, Jakks decided to make his arms moveable. I suppose that is the logical choice. Though they DID forget to paint the black part on the front of Ludicolos hands, I forgive them. Because besides that one little point, this figure's amazing. |
Pokecolle Cap Figure
Tomy - ?
I hear these guys are super hard to find? ANYWAY HERE'S LUDICOLO IN ALL HIS DURPY GLORY. Just chilling on his clear bluey blueness. When I bidded for this in a GA, I could only see the back of him. And when it came to my door... Wow. His face. I MAINTAIN THIS GUY LOOKS LIKE HE'S SEEN DEATH. |

Lombre Retsuden Stamp
? - ?
A birthday present from my dear friend Kenna. I could barely BELIEVE it when I opened the little box sent from the other side of the world. I don't give two tits that this stamp (which, may I add, is at least a decade old) is out of ink I will find an inkpad and make that shit work because this is SO IMPORTANT TO ME. THANK YOU MY LOVE. Still stamps like a dream with some external ink!

Lotad Line Metal Charms
Pokemon Center - 2012
Just another acquisition of mine from the metal charm collection that included every single Pokemon released at the time. I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. I was really trying to limit myself on these charms, but I couldn't help myself with this line. JUST LOOK AT THAT LOMBRE. LOOK AT HIS STUPID LITTLE FACE. These were kind of a celebratory gift for myself for finishing my mid year exams. THEY'RE TOTALLY JUSTIFIED OK? But I love the Ludicolo and Lombre so much so I may have bought off a friend that just wanted the Lotad. I DON'T NEED MONEY, I JUST NEED CHARMS. |

Ludicolo Pokedoll Sticker
Pokemon Center - ?
Who doesn't love a good Pokedoll? I know I sure do, and a Ludicolo one would've been amazing. Buuut it seems the Pokemon Center hates me or something, since they never actually MAKE the Pokedolls I would've loved, they just dangle art and figures in front of be because they're jerks. Though I'm glad to have this all the same! This sticker is so tiny, AND IT SHIMMERS. |
