Takara Tomy Pokémon Figures (2026): Every Moncolle Series Explained
By Dexhaul Team · October 31, 2026 · 6 min read
Takara Tomy's Moncolle line is the most complete run of Pokémon figures available from a single manufacturer: hundreds of characters, five distinct formats, and price points that range from under $10 to just over $25 per piece.
If you just want a single figure for a favorite Pokémon, start with the standard 2-inch MS series. If you collect Mega Evolutions or Terastal forms specifically, those have dedicated sub-lines. This guide breaks down every Moncolle series, what makes each one distinct, and how to tell a genuine figure from an imitation.
Every Takara Tomy Moncolle Series
The Moncolle name covers five distinct figure formats. Each targets a different collector need, and the secondary market prices below were observed on October 31, 2026 from independent shops.
| Series | Height | Focus | Observed price (Oct 2026) | In stock now |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moncolle MS (standard) | ~2 in / 5 cm | All eras, widest character range | $9.95–$27 | Yes |
| Moncolle 4-inch Collectible | ~4 in / 10 cm | All eras, larger detail | ~$18.49 | Yes |
| Moncolle Mega | ~3–4 in | Mega Evolution forms | $14.99–$25 | Yes |
| Moncolle Primal | ~4 in | Primal forms (Kyogre, Groudon) | ~$25.99 | Yes |
| Moncolle Terastal | ~2–3 in | Scarlet and Violet Terastal forms | ~$20.99 | Yes |
The MS series is the one you'll see most often. It uses a sequential numbering system: MS-01 onward, with each number assigned to one Pokémon. From the available listings, MS-16 is Blastoise, MS-19 is Tyranitar, MS-27 is Raichu, and MS-55 is Turtwig. Different release waves can share the same number across separate series, so two figures labeled "MS-58" can coexist: one is Torterra (Sinnoh), another is Quaquaval (Paldea).
That numbering quirk is the clearest sign the line has been running across multiple distinct production waves rather than a single unbroken sequence.

Where to Start with Moncolle
The standard 2-inch MS figure is the right entry point for most collectors. It is the cheapest format, covers the most characters, and fits easily on a desk shelf or windowsill without dominating the space.
Standard MS figure for your favorite Pokémon
Pick one character, find its MS number in a listing, and buy it. Secondary market prices for common MS figures run $9.95–$14 from import retailers. The figures ship in packaging that shows the MS number and the Pokémon name in both English and Japanese.
Mega Evolution figure for the XY era
If your Pokémon has a Mega Evolution, Takara Tomy produced dedicated Mega Moncolle figures with the transformed design. Mega Venusaur and Mega Rayquaza are both available in the secondary market at $14.99–$25, and the figures are noticeably larger and more detailed than the standard MS line.
Terastal figure for the Scarlet and Violet era
The Terastal Phenomenon series is the newest Moncolle sub-line, covering Pokémon in their Terastal forms from Scarlet and Violet. Scarlet and Violet introduced Terastal as a mechanic, and the Moncolle figures capture that crystal-geometric design in physical form. These run around $20.99 in the secondary market and are the best option for collectors focused on the current generation of games.
How to Tell Official Moncolle Figures from Imitations
The Moncolle line is officially licensed by The Pokémon Company and manufactured by Takara Tomy. Bulbapedia's Monster Collection page documents the full history of the line going back to its earliest releases. That licensing shows up in several places on the packaging and the figure itself.
On genuine figures, look for the Takara Tomy logo on the base of the figure, the licensed Pokémon trademark notice on the packaging, and the product code (e.g., "MS-16" or "TKT" catalog number). The packaging will include Japanese text even on imported versions.
Imitation figures often omit one or more of these details, use slightly off-color plastic, or have seam lines that are more visible than on the originals. The DexHaul fake-check guide covers these tells in more detail for any Pokémon product.
Paint finish quality varies across the line: standard MS figures are injection-molded in a single or dual color with minimal paint detail, while the Mega, Primal, and Terastal sub-lines add more painted accents. Neither is "better"; the simpler paint on MS figures is a deliberate design choice to keep the figures durable and affordable.
Display, Sizing, and Building a Collection
The 2-inch MS figures fit naturally on a standard bookshelf or desk rail. Ten figures in a row take up about 8 inches of horizontal space.
Mixing series heights works well: a standard MS Blastoise next to a Mega Blastoise creates a natural size contrast that mirrors the in-game scale difference. The Primal Kyogre figure is significantly longer than it is tall because of the body shape, so plan shelf depth accordingly: around 4 inches of depth for larger figures.
Collectors building a complete Kanto set will find the MS series the most practical format: nearly every Gen 1 Pokémon has a numbered MS entry, and the 2-inch scale keeps the complete 151-figure run at a manageable display footprint. The Takara Tomy Arts plush line complements the Moncolle figures for display; pairing a plush version of a character with its Moncolle figure is a popular collector approach.
Moncolle Figures as a Q4 Gift
A single MS figure at $9.95 is the lowest-cost officially licensed Pokémon collectible available in the secondary market. That makes it a practical stocking stuffer or add-on gift for Pokémon fans of any age.
For a more substantial gift, a set of three MS figures (one base form, one Mega, and the Primal variant of the same Pokémon where it exists: Kyogre and Groudon both qualify) runs around $45–$55 and gives the recipient the full evolutionary and legendary context for their chosen character.
The 4-inch Collectible format at $18.49 is also a strong standalone gift: it reads as more premium than the standard 2-inch figures and fits well in gift packaging. For the full gift guide, see the DexHaul holiday gift hub.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Moncolle MS and EX figures?
The standard MS figures are roughly 2 inches tall and cover the widest range of Pokémon. The EX and 4-inch Collectible figures are larger (closer to 4 inches) with more surface detail. The characters available differ between formats, with many fan favorites available in both sizes.
Are Takara Tomy Moncolle figures suitable for children?
The standard MS figures are solid, non-articulated plastic with no small removable parts, which makes them more durable than articulated figures. Check individual packaging for age recommendations; most are rated for ages 3 and up, but the Mega and Primal figures with extended wings or fins have more delicate protrusions.
Do Moncolle figures come in sets, or are they sold individually?
Most Moncolle figures sold in the secondary market are single figures. Some multipacks (covering a starter evolution line, for example) were released at retail, but the secondary market predominantly lists individual pieces.
How do I know which MS number a specific Pokémon has?
The MS number appears on the packaging and the figure's base. Import retailers list it in their product titles (e.g., "MS-16 Blastoise"). Searching by Pokémon name on DexHaul's figures collection will surface available listings with their MS codes.
