Raikou, Dialga and Arceus
So, my reasons for collecting these babies.
Raikou is mainly due to catching one on LeafGreen by chance and falling in love. He's not a huge or hardcore collection of mine, though I do have some nice merchandise of his.
Dialga is, pure and simply, due to Doctor Who. I see so many similarities between The Doctor and Dialga, and my Dialga Pokédoll is named the Doctor!
Arceus is because he's God and I think he's epic. I collect all the plates, but Normal, Stone and Earth are my favourites.

Raikou
Raikou Pokédoll
This is Nero, my Raikou Pokédoll. When they were released a week before my 21st Birthday, I knew I had to have one to kickstart my Raikou collection! He's made of minky fabric, and is beautiful and cute, don't you think?
Johto Beasts Zukan
3 of my top 5 zukan - the Johto Legendary Beasts! Absolutely gorgeous; if you're considering buying these, DO IT!
Shiny Beast Zukan
FINALLY! These amazing shiny zukan are mine! They match with the Crown Beasts given away in Japan. So pretty!

Raikou Kid (Old Style)
This is an older kid, from the first run of Johto figures. He's about 2 inches tall and the same in length.
Raikou Sparkly Movie Kid
This is the newest Raikou kid, and he's very sparkly, as you can see on the image! He's smaller than his older counterpart, at about and inch and a half long and an inch tall.
Raikou TOMY Figure
At least.... I think that's what he is! He may be a bootleg, he might be something different all together, all I know is he's derpy and awesome!
Raikou Keshipoke
A teeny tiny Raikou! This guy is less than a centimetre in length - he really is miniscule!
Custom Raikou Pokédoll Keychain
This was made by silversnowcloak @ LJ, and he's made of sculpy clay and then hand painted. She's got his design spot on, and he is just gorgeous - I love him so much!
Dialga
Dialga Pokédoll
This is The Doctor, my American-release minky Dialga Pokédoll. He's about 7 inches tall, and made of minky fur, and just... Absolutely perfect. I think he's my favourite pokédoll yet!
Dialga Zukan
This is the 1/40 scale model of Dialga - holding him up against other pokémon to see the size relation really makes me feel back about sending my pokémon in to battle these legendaries! He's enormous!
Dialga UK Kid
You can tell that this Dialga was a UK kid release because his back fin is unpainted. He stands about an inch and a half tall, and is very cute - if unfinished! Bad Bandai, no cookie!
Dialga Clear Kid
ASkjhdlsnfbldjh EEEEE!
I was so excited to get this guy! He's so clear and beautiful and perfect.

Dialga US Kid Figure
Also known as Flirty!Dialga, because of the way he's looking over his shoulder at you. He's a properly painted Timelord, and is about an inch and a half tall and the same in length.
Attack Dialga Kids Figure
This is the final kid I needed for my collection! Here's an adorable Dialga using some kind of awesome attack. This was picked up at London MCM Expo in May 2011.
DX Dialga Kid Figure
Similarly to the Bastiodon DX Kid, Dialga's only movement is to spin the two halves of his body around - but he's still very awesome! He's about 4 inches from head to toe and the same from head to tail.
Scooping Figure
This is another odd figure! He is made of a similar rubbery-plastic as Kids, but doesn't have the hollowness of them. But anyway, look at that fierce pose!
Huge Bandai Electronic Dialga
WOAH MUMMA! This is the biggest Dialga in my collection, and he's a whopping 6 inches tall by 7 inches long. When you press his chest plate the little diamond lights up - he's fabulous, if ginormous!
Normal Dialga Chou Gett
Chou Getts are small, about half an inch, and come in a variety of poses with a variety of bases.
Clear Dialga Chou Gett
As mentioned above, these are about 1 1/2 inches tall on interlocking bases. I love this guy's expression - it's a real D: face!
Dialga Sho Pro Strap
This is a chibi Dialga on a white loop to add to keys, phones or games consoles. Such a cute timelord!
Dialga Jakks Figure
This cute little guy is about 4 inches tall and the same long, and, while slightly beaten up, very detailed and a perfect size.
Dialga Jakks Action Figure
This guy is similar in size to my other Jakks Dialga, but has a fantastic action post and a lovely face!
Dialga TOMY Figure
TOMY figures are about 2 1/2 inches tall, made of solid plastic, and are remarkably detailed for their size.
Dialga Candy Figure
This is a small figure, made of a similar material to TOMY figures, and he came in a pokéball with stickers and sweets/candy. Very cute!
Dialga 7/11 Racer
This is a driving Dialga! This Dialga was sold in Japan during his movie run, and you can pull the little car back and it rolls forward. I wonder if it travels in time?...
Dialga Keshipoke
The Tiniest Timelord in Town!
This little dude is less than an inch in either direction. He's so tiny but perfectly detailed, I really love these figures!

Dialga Marble
This is a great blue marble, showing a cool pose on the front.
Dialga BK Card Case
This was released in Burger King Kids Meals in 2007, and is the perfect size for carrying your pokémon cards in.
Arceus
Arceus Pokédoll
This is Gok, my Arceus Pokédoll which my mum bought me from Sunyshore Pokémart. He's made of minky material, and is just so cute and soft - who knew a godly-being like Arceus could be so cute!
Why, yes, he is wearing bunny ears.

Jakks Arceus Plushie
This is, without a doubt, the derpiest, daftest, crappiest plush in the world. He doesn't stand, he has to lean, but god do I love him! He's super soft and was a US only release, but I snagged him in a sales post on pkmncollectors. He's brilliant! And affectionally named Derpceus.
Arceus Movie Shoulder Bag
This image shows a my Arceus Movie Shoulder Bag. It's about 8 inches by 5 inches, and has two pockets - I'm torn whether I should use it or display it! I got it in a group auction on pkmncollectors.
Arceus Earth Plate Zukan
I got this zukan as a part of a group auction on pkmncollectors. And oh boy did I have fun putting him together! I felt like all the kings horses & men fixing humpty dumpty. But the results are pretty damn epic, don't you think?
Arceus TOMY figure
This is the only TOMY figure I own that spends a lot of it's life on it's side - he has one leg too short and falls over a lot! But, still, he's a wonderfully detailed 1-inch tall figure, who came from the Sunyshore Pokémart along with Nero.
Arceus Kayeido Figure
This is a special figure which was given out in America if you pre-ordered both SoulSilver and HeartGold. I got mine on eBay, and found myself impressed with the detail on this 4-inch tall figure.
Arceus Stone Plate Chou
This is the Arceus Stone Plate Chou, who is about an inch tall including his base and has a rather remarkable amount of detail. I recieved him from a sales post on pkmncollectors, along with my clear Dialga chou.
Arceus Normal & Attack Kids
These are my Arceus kids - the attack is on the left who I got from Sunyshore, and the normal Arceus kid, who I got in a multipack from the UK Toys R Us, is on the right. He's about an inch and a half tall, and has a very imperious look on his face.
