Promotional Pokemon 2013 calendars sold at McDonald's in Japan toward the end of 2012. The month of July includes a very festive Politoed (and his reflection)!
Naturally, I had to get two so I could use one for its intended purpose. The other is still sealed.
Jumbo Sealdass
Maker: Bandai

Size: 6in / 15cm
Year: 2001
Jumbo Sealdass are large, two page sticker pamphlets sold for a limited time in vending machines in Japan with different themes. This one is labelled "Jumbo Sealdass 1." This one in particular features almost strictly official art seen many times before, but the beautiful, soft pastel shading and different placement of the Pokemon gives the art a brand new look. A really gorgeous flat I feel blessed to own!
The thumbnail is only one part of a very large image, so please check out the larger version for full enjoyment! The two pages in the large image are only the inside of the sealdass pamphlet. The front and back feature Pikachu.
Spanish Magazine Poster
Size: 15in / 37cm
Year: 2000
Year: 2000
This is a poster from a Spanish magazine seemingly published around Gold/Silver/Crystal's release, judging by the year and advertisement for them at the bottom.
This is definitely one of those unexpected, random, lucky finds! It's so neat and makes me really happy. A big thank you to methuselah31010 for offering it to me!
Custom Plush by Allyson-x
Size: 14.5in / 37cm (excl. hair curl)

Made by Allysonx
My mom had this big, beautiful, shiny boy commissioned from Allyson of Kitsune Creations for my 22nd birthday in August 2011. She was very sweet and accommodating to my preferences, and agreed to put a little fabric heart inside of him. (This is something I do with all of my own plush to "give them life.") He's made of very soft fleece and his legs are jointed so he can sit or stand (while propped against something), and his hair curl has wire inside of it to make it fully posable. He's absolutely gorgeous and so well done. I decided to name him Sweets because he makes me think of cotton candy. :3
Custom Plush by Aimee
Meet Baby, the very originally named Politoed. He was an unexpected gift from Aimee/Bubble-Rhapsody and is just so precious. He's made of super soft pastel coloured minky and came with his very own King's Rock. I really love how he fits in my arms, just like a baby, and with his big eyes and pale colours that's how he got his name. Maybe one day he can grow up to be a great Politoed King!
Custom Puppet by sorjei
Okay, this thing is awesome. It was originally a cuddly frog hand puppet with a voice box that makes ribbiting sounds when you press his mouth closed, but since it was already green and yellow she went ahead and turned it into a Politoed for me! She added the hair curl, pink cheeks, green tummy swirl, and made the top of his toes yellow and the bottom of his feet green. He's definitely one of my favourite collection pieces. ;w; So unique!

This is a plush I made for myself, all sewn by hand, with materials I had laying around. The only things I can identify are the hair curl and pupils, which are made from black felt. The green fabric is possibly some satin variation; it's very smooth and shimmery. I call her Minty.
Custom Pumpkin Plush by sorjei
During October of 2012 sorjei made custom Pokemon Jack-o-Lantern plush and was sweet enough to make me a Politoed! It's very soft and the face is just perfect. He looks excited for Halloween!

Amigurumi Politoeds, one normally coloured and one with shiny version colours, that I had commissioned. They were crocheted by Juliette Backey, and are definitely in my top favourites of Politoed items I own! I named them Fred (right) and George (left), just because they seem mischievous — and they're twins!
Custom Sculpture by me

I finally got my hands on some Sculpey III clay and, after a couple practice figures, tried my hand at a Politoed! I thought it would be cute round, and it would also make it a little easier to make. XD I thought for sure I was going to mess it up but I'm actually quite proud of how it came out. Except I used translucent clay without knowing so its eyes look strange and faded...

Customs by Cinibunny
I commissioned Cinibunny for the sleeping posed Politoed figure based on a sketch she did, and she included a freebie Politoed keychain and sticker in a matching style. The keychain is a wooden box with a slide panel on the back that says "I ♥ Politoed" and has a drawing of Politoed on the inside, where you can store small items. The sculpture is so light despite its size!
The drink coaster was added later as part of a Christmas gift for me, along with a Bonsly coaster.

This is a slightly unusual collection piece, but it's the box Cinibunny mailed my customs in. It was decorated so cutely I couldn't bear to throw it out! I use it to store some flats and smaller or miscellaneous items.

Custom Charm by kandiipanda
This charm is super adorable! I'm not really sure how Shrinky Dinks work, but that's what this fellow's made from.
I was drawn to her custom charms because of the dangly parts on them (usually tails, but Politoed doesn't have one of those) along with the really cute artwork. The lines are so crisp and the colours are so vibrant — AND LOOK AT THOSE FEETS. Too cute! I love it.

This is a custom bottlecap keychain by acciolucius of the Pokemon Collectors LJ community. My photo is a little unflattering but it's a beautiful custom, made from a TCG cut out and covered with resin. It sparkles gorgeously in the light.

A super cute Perler Bead sprite! I've seen a lot of these things but never in person before. They're so neat. It's like holding a game sprite in your hands. XD This is Politoed's menu sprite from Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
Custom Pin

I unfortunately don't know who made this, but it's cute! I keep it pinned to my messenger bag.

A custom pin with INCREDIBLY ADORABLE artwork. I can't get enough of it. XD One of my favourite customs purely for the art. I'm not sure where it's from, but I believe it's from some kind of book, though I don't know if it's official. If you have any info please tell me!
Custom Felt Politoed by me

I had felt laying around and I was inspired by a felt Poliwhirl my mom found that I'd made when I was younger, so I glued/sewed together a shiny Politoed. That's all. XD

This is a VERY precious drawing by my friend! It was a big surprise to see it, and I don't think I'll ever get over how cute it is. ;w; Such happy Politoed and Mantyke friends!
