Next Quest
This is the first and only set of trading figures released in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia in 2006 and North America and Japan in 2007. The series was unfortunately discontinued in 2009 despite having a planned second and third sets.
What piqued my interest in these figures was the striking resemblance of the Pikachu TFG with a bottlecap figure of the same character. True enough, I found out that they are both made by the same company - Kaiyodo. Since then, I dedicated myself in completing the trading figures. Though it seemed to be impossible at first, I managed to complete the Next Quest set minus the special crystal and pearl figures.

Salamence
Number : 13/42
Rarity : Rare
Sculptor : Nakazawa Hiroyuki
Notes : Salamence was bought fairly cheaply from a store that sells TFGs. Apparently, Salamence is pretty common which kind of contradicts its rarity symbol which is "rare". One rather interesting trivia about Salamence is that it is always seen together with un-released 3rd set figures in eBay sets and Chinese stores. Though I've no idea why.
