Bandai Pokémon Plamo: Every Model Kit Set and Series (2026)
By Dexhaul Team · October 30, 2026 · 6 min read
Bandai Pokémon Plamo model kits are officially licensed, snap-fit plastic builds spanning over 60 numbered entries, with prices running from $9 for a beginner Pikachu to $30 or more for a large-scale Mega Rayquaza.
The line divides into two active series. The standard Plamo Collection, sometimes called the Select Series, has been numbering kits since the early years of the franchise.
The newer Quick series (branded "Quick!!") uses a separate number system and is designed for first-time builders who want a finished figure without a complicated build.
Neither series requires glue. Most Quick series kits are tool-free. Select Series kits may need hobby nippers for clean runner removal, but nothing is glued permanently.

The two Bandai Pokémon Plamo model kit series
Understanding which series you are buying from saves money and avoids surprises. The two sub-lines share the Plamo Collection branding but differ in complexity, number of parts, and intended audience.
The Select Series (standard Plamo Collection) uses a single running number from early-numbered classics like Lugia (#04) through to recent releases such as Kyogre (#62). Kits from the same era tend to share similar part counts and detail levels. Older low-numbered kits are simpler; more recent high-numbered kits take advantage of Bandai Spirits' modern runner technology.
The Quick!! sub-series uses its own numbering, currently running from #01 to at least #24. Boxes are clearly marked "Quick!!" in large type, and kits in this range use pre-colored runners designed to snap together in a single short sitting.
| Series | Kit number range | Typical parts | Price range (observed Oct 30, 2026) | Skill level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plamo Collection (Select Series) | #01–#62+ | 30–100+ | $9–$35 USD | Beginner to intermediate |
| Plamo Collection Quick!! | #01–#24+ | 15–40 | $8–$15 USD | Beginner |
Both series are produced by Bandai Spirits, the hobby arm of Bandai, under official license from The Pokémon Company. Products sold through authorized retailers carry both the Bandai Spirits logo and the Pokémon Company International license text on the box.
Where to start with Pokémon Plamo
Three kits cover the range from complete beginner to committed collector.
Quick!! Pikachu #01 or Charmander #11 (first-time builder)
Both come in under $11 and use pre-colored, tool-free runners. Pikachu #01 is the most widely stocked entry point in the series.
Charmander #11 runs at a similar price and suits fans of the Kanto starters. Either kit is a complete, finished figure out of the box without any extra supplies.
Bandai Hobby Pokemon Plamo Riolu & Lucario Figure Model Kit
$15.00 USD Sponsored
Riolu and Lucario Select Series (step-up kit)
This dual-build kit pairs two Pokémon in one box at $15 USD (observed October 30, 2026), making it one of the best-value Select Series entries in stock. Riolu is smaller and simpler; Lucario is a mid-complexity build with a more articulated pose.
It is the most useful kit for someone who has finished one Quick series build and wants to understand the Select Series format before committing to a premium kit.
Mega Rayquaza #61 Select Series (advanced showcase)
Running at $30 USD (observed October 30, 2026), the Mega Rayquaza is the longest-running premium Pokémon Plamo kit in active circulation. The build involves multi-stage wing construction and is designed for display rather than shelf storage. The numbered slot at #61 reflects a modern Bandai Spirits sculpt standard.
How to tell an official Bandai Plamo kit from a knockoff
Unofficial plastic model kits for Pokémon exist, and they copy the box art and numbering system closely enough to fool casual shoppers.
Check the box for "BANDAI SPIRITS" as the manufacturer. Authentic kits also carry the Pokémon Company International license text, typically on a rear or side panel.
The runner gates on official kits are clean and consistently colored. Bootleg kits often show mold seam lines on the runners themselves, incorrect font weight on the number badges, and missing license text on the interior lid.
Older kits from before the Bandai Spirits rebrand may say "BANDAI" only without the Spirits suffix. These are still official products: Bandai Spirits is the renamed hobby division of Bandai. If the kit lacks any Pokémon Company International mark at all, it is not an authorized product.
For more on vintage Pokémon toys and authentication by brand, the Tomy and Hasbro guide covers similar licensing markers for older figures.
Display and care for finished Pokémon Plamo builds
Completed Plamo kits are unglued by default, which means they can be disassembled for transport or storage.
Keep finished builds out of direct sunlight. The colored plastic runners used in Quick series and Select Series kits will yellow or fade under prolonged UV exposure, similar to any uncoated plastic.
A glass display case or covered shelf provides adequate protection.
Dust with a soft dry brush rather than a damp cloth. Water can work into the joints of snap-fit parts and cause warping in the long term. For other Bandai-made Pokémon figure lines covering prize figures and Banpresto sub-lines, care guidelines are similar.
Pokémon Plamo model kits as Q4 gifts
The Quick!! series starts at under $10 per kit, making it one of the most genuinely affordable licensed Pokémon builds available this Q4.
A good gift pairing is a Quick!! kit (under $11) alongside the Riolu and Lucario Select Series dual-build ($15) for a recipient ready to move beyond the introductory level. Both ship as compact boxes and require nothing beyond the contents.

FAQ
Does Pokémon Plamo require glue or paint?
No. Both the Quick series and the Select Series are snap-fit builds. Glue and paint are optional for collectors who want a finished display piece; neither is required to complete the kit.
What is the difference between Quick!! and Select Series?
Quick series kits use pre-colored runners and have fewer parts, making them the faster and simpler option. Select Series kits have more parts, more pose variation, and often higher part counts.
Select Series numbers run from #01 into the 60s and above. The Quick series uses its own separate numbering also starting at #01, so always check the box label to confirm which sub-line you are buying.
Are there bootleg Pokémon plastic model kits?
Yes. Unofficial kits copy Bandai's box art and numbering closely enough to fool casual shoppers.
Look for "BANDAI SPIRITS" on the box and the Pokémon Company International license text on a rear panel. Missing either is a strong indicator the product is not authorized.
Which kit is the most advanced in the line?
Among currently in-stock Select Series kits, Mega Rayquaza (#61) is the most complex, with multi-stage wing construction and a higher part count than standard character builds. Its observed price of $30 USD (October 30, 2026) reflects that additional complexity.
