Rayquaza (レックウザ Rayquaza)
"Rayquaza is said to have lived for hundreds of millions of years in the earth's ozone layer, above the clouds. Its existence had been completely unknown because it lived so high in the sky."
I'm going to be honest here, I don't really know where the love of him came from either. ^^; The Destiny Deoxys movie? With a question mark? I've loved him for as long as I can remember, without him would be madness!
Now that this collection is pretty big, I've made the conscious decision to only collect figures and plush of my snake baby!

Plush
Rayquaza Pokedoll
Pokedolls are chibified plush which are usually made with big heads and huge eyes. The precursors to Pokedolls were Plushplush, and had plastic eyes. Unlike the current which are embroidered. The Rayqauzas are usually unhooked. He was my very first Rayquaza plush, and first Pokedoll. I got him from the now closed pokemoncenter.com along with a Lucario and Ho-Oh Pokedoll. He is very loved due to my love of Rayquaza obviously. I unhooked him because I wanted to move him like a real dragon. <3 LOVED DOLLS ARE LOVED. |
DX/Oversize Rayquaza Pokedoll
DX or Deluxe Pokedolls were usually sold as New Year's promotions or giveaways, and because of this, are harder to find! BUT THIS. <333 I have only seen him a few times. I found him on Ebay when someone was cleaning out their collection in Fall 2010. It was listed as being 14" tall. I measured my normal Rayquaza Pokedoll, and he was noticeably shorter than what the description was saying. Thinking he might be a DX, I planned to bid on him. I stayed up until the auction ended at 2 A.M.~ I was tired, as a was a youngin', but so worth it! |
Rayquaza Pokepark Plush (Compared with Giratina Pokedoll)
PokePark was a theme park open in Japan in the summer of 2005, Rayquaza was a top prize of some kind a presume! I mean, he's a BIG boy. ouo (about 40 inches woo-wee)
*u* Someone was selling this bub because they just bought one in perfect condition and was getting rid of this shoddy looking one for cheap! I was so excited! Even though he is deflated of his stuffing. (I'll fix that later :v) Also, his name is Edward~!
EDIT: He has since been re-stuffed and the shoddy stitching has been fixed c:

Figures
____________________________________
Rayquaza Kids
Kid figures are little hollow "finger puppets" that started way back in 1996 or so, and have been going ever since! The clear variations were released with the original as a "special chance" prize! You could get the regular version of the figure, or a clear variant, making them much rarer. Missing only the clear attack kid. I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE. KHAAAAN Edit: Welp he was out there, and I got him! KHAAAAN Still need the shiny kid though ;u; |
Rayquaza Tomy Figure (Plus variations)
Tomy figures have been going since Pokemon has existed, and it's nice that Rayquaza got three different figures! The metallic version was released in a set of other Tomy figures of Pokemon featured in the Pokemon movies up to that point! Dates to around 2007. (Their are actually different poses of Rayquaza Tomy figs that I still need ;; ) Getting all the variations? (Except other poses) FEELS GOOD MAN. |
Prototype Rayquaza V-trainer
It says "Pat. pending" on the back like my Raikou so ding ding we have a prototype! (Probably) V-trainers were little figures that were discontinued after gen 3. You could battle with them by using the little electronics on their bottoms. Kinda weird mold, but eh, I never see these for sale so I'm happy to own him! |
Rayquaza Pokedex Figure
These figures came in capsules during the Ruby/Sapphire era, and even with little inserts of their pokedex info! They are also sometimes referred to as "footprint figures" due their footprint being on their as well~ MMMM YEAH. Pokedex figures are all the rage. The little insert with his footprint (alright tailprint) and Dex info. c: |
Rayquaza Bath Salt Figure
You got these in bath salts and when the bath salt was used up, you could keep the figure! They sometimes are referred to as soap figures as well. Not sure of the company though. I think Bandai? They eventually started having a little white loop above their heads so I'm glad Rayquaza avoided that fate. HE STILL SMELLS FRUITY FRESH. PART OF A BALANCED BREAKFAST. |
Rayquaza Metal Collection Figures (Silver, Copper, and Gunmetal)
The metal collection series has been going since 1997 and they came in sets featuring various Pokemon per set. Blind packaged as well, such as in the box in the back. Well anywho, these were also released in the R/S era and came in five colors! (Gold, silver, brass, gunmetal, and copper) I honestly can't believe I have three of these. ;u; Just two to go! (Gold and brass) |
Rayquaza Thinkchip+ Figure
Thinkchip+ are upgrades of the original Thinkchip. They were made by Hasbro and made some pretty amazing figures! Gorgeous and perfect by normal Hasbro standards. They always featured dynamic poses and great paint jobs~ Pretty sure this quaza was from a discontinued set! He never was officially released. |
Re-release Rayquaza Zukan
Zukan are 1/40 scale figure that started in either the G/S era or R/S era. Some are rarer than others, and not this Rayquaza either! For some reason my camera won't pick up his vivid emerald green color :c He's really gorgeous though! Such a lucky goose to have gotten a re-release~ Though my little Karrabutt still doesn't have one.. |
Rayquaza Tomy Pose Figure
European pretty sure. Yeah. Not sure what else. One of my favorite Rayquaza figures~ Poseable and all the business. (Thank you to someone who mailed me info on this babe!) Apparently, this bug was part of a Pose Figure expansion by Tomy in 2005~ Rayquaza was part of the second set, and the series is still going on today! Rockin' yo |
Rayquaza TFG
Only 3 sets of TFGs are known, Next Quest was released officially, and a second, Groundbreakers, was announced, but was not released. An unnamed Third Set was also going to release in 2009, but like Groundbreakers, was also unreleased. For some reason Groundbreakers are the hardest to find though! ;u; Rayquaza is from the Third Set~ Cool pose, and he spins. It entertains me yes c: |
Rayquaza Stamper Figure
Apparently this little bud is a patent pending stamper! I had no idea until I bought the full stamp on accident, cause I had the no base one first, so it was certainly a surprise haha~ then some kind soul emailed me and confirmed my suspicion! Can't hide the truth from me stampers |
McDonald's Rayquaza Figures
I was super stoked about Rayquaza finally getting a happy meal toy.. but I guess I wasn't expecting him to looked like he just durped in from durptown, like dang the poor guy. He didn't even have his teeth whitened or the black rings colored! So I got two and attempted to "fix" one, only looks maybe a little better haha, but hey I tried <3 |
Rayquaza/Torchic Pokedoll Eraser (Mint in Wrapper)
Awesome eraser, I want to use him badly, but I can't 'cause. Collectorism. :u Also, there's a Torchic on the other side, but you probably already knew that. c; Well, unless you don't read titles before you start reading. :x (Or look before you read whatevs you knew) |
Pokemon Conquest Shiny Rayquaza Charm (1st Prize)
In 2012 Pokemon Conquest was released in Japan, and to celebrate the Pokemon Center decided that they should celebrate by making Shiny Rayquaza things for prizes. If you bought a certain amount at the Center you got a chance at a lottery to win prizes! The Shiny Rayquaza charm was the top prize~ \-u-/ This charm is super pretty and definitely money well spent! I'm not one for flat-like items, but metal charms make me weak in the knees ouo; |
Rayquaza Masterball Keychain
You pull apart the bottom parts of the Pokeball and a Pokemon comes out! and they only go back in if you hold them upside down. ;) I have an extra one hanging out on my school bag! :D RAYQUAZA SWAG YES B)
EDIT: OKAY apparently not that durable 'cause he got decapitated. 8| I found his body though and glued him back up, so he just hangs from my shelf now. c':

Meiji Chocolate Rayquaza/Groudon/Kyogre/Pikachu Tin
I actually really like this tin. c: It may not be Rayquaza based, but you can store your flats in here perfectly! :D Not that I do but, JUST THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES.

Rayquaza Tin
I ordered it off Ebay, but they sent me a Garchomp tin, I told them and they sent me this. I got to keep the Garchomp tin :)

Rayquaza Button
Dunno what this is. Halp! :U There's no marks on it whatsoever.. but he has a little loop on the back so if I find more I'll add them to one of my jackets. c: <3

Rayquaza Head
Now you're probably wondering, "WTF what's with the Rayquaza head?!" Well, he was a freebie, and it's the head of a figure I've really wanted for a while now, so I thought, "Why not?"
and Note* Thanks to this, I was offered the whole figure by another 'quaza collector who had an extra! You know who you are~ ;x
EXTRA NOTE: I've been putting loose Rayquaza figure pieces together to make my own Rayquaza figures. c; He's the head. <3
