Pokemon's trading card game is getting exclusive collectible figures in China that aren't available elsewhere. The figures are being released alongside cards in that region, prompting Western collectors to express frustration over the regional limitation. The appeal appears strong enough that the absence of these items from international markets has generated notable fan disappointment about the missed opportunity.
TL;DR
- China-exclusive Pokemon TCG figures have created demand among Western collectors who can't purchase them locally.
- The figures accompany card releases in China but haven't been announced for worldwide distribution.
