Mystery
The third set of TFG figures was supposed to be released after Groundbreakers. It is still unnamed as of the moment and will probably remain that way. Everybody thought that this set will never get released until early this year when these figures suddenly appeared in eBay. First thought to be bootlegs by Pokemon collectors, they have now finally came to a conclusion that these are official products due to the detail and quality on these figures that are also present in past sets.
'Mystery' is just a name I use to refer to it because of its enigmatic source. There are also 42 figures in total with 3 promotional figures. Like the Groundbreakers set, due to being unofficially released the figures don't have any rarity symbols on them.
A lot of the figures here have more back story than the other figures because it wasn't easy finding them. They are also the reason I joined communities such as PKMNCollectors and PokeGym.
With the help of other collectors, the missing figures have finally been identified and they are Minun, Sneasel and Tyrogue. Any info as to where they can be acquired would be really really helpful.
STATUS : 39 / 42
Aipom
Number : 01/42
Rarity : Unknown
Sculptor : Kagawa Masahiko
Notes : The first Aipom I found has the paint on the tail chipping off so I had to pass. I finally found an okay one but it seems that most Aipoms have problems on their tail.

Bayleef
Number : 03/42
Rarity : Unknown
Sculptor : Kagawa Masahiko
Notes : I had already seen pictures of Bayleef in the Internet in sites such as PokeGym and PKMNCollectors. When I actually saw one in a store, it was pretty hard to believe. But the detail and quality made me buy it despite of the lingering thought that they are bootlegs.

Notes : Corphish is one of the latest figures I received from the third set. It was bought from eBay from a lot of TFG figures. I'm thankful the seller allowed me to buy only the figures I needed.
I then had to trade my first Corphish to white_chocobo. I got another one but was somewhat unsatisfied with a broken part in one of his legs. Good thing the Corphish I bought from eBay which I thought was lost finally arrived.

Notes : Diglett is my very first TFG from the third set. Before I saw it in a store I actually saw a picture of it on the Internet but because of the fact they were discontinued I had doubt of its legitimacy. Though unsure, I still bought it along with others because it is really detailed and amazing just as a real TFG would look like.

Goldeen

Notes : After buying my first couple of trading figures from the third set, I looked around in a mall to see if I can still spot any. As luck would have it, I chanced upon another shop that sells a few figures and Goldeen was one of them. I consider getting Goldeen a lucky buy since I never found another again.

Haunter
Number : 16/42
Rarity : Unknown
Sculptor : Nakazawa Hiroyuki
Notes : The first time I saw Haunter, I only saw its base and its hands on the wall being sold in a store in the mall. When I actually obtained it, it led me to believe that these figures really are authentic because of Haunter's special ability indicated at the bottom of the base. I didn't think any bootleggers will go as far as producing an almost authentic sticker with attacks that go well with the game.

Notes : Magnemite was received from another trade with waynegg of PokeGym. He already offered Magnemite before in our first trade but I thought I'd be able to easily find one so I opted for a Giratina pre-order figure. Magnemite was the hardest figure to obtain for me to date as I missed several chances including a bid war in eBay with mamath without us knowing.
