Pre-order bonus figures
Starting with the Diamond and Pearl games, Kaiyodo produced figures that were given out as bonuses to anyone who pre-ordered the main Pokemon games in Japan. Lugia, Ho-oh, Giratina, and Arceus were also released outside of Japan.
Chess figures
This was a set of figures produced by Kaiyodo around 2005(?). There were 24 unique Pokemon produced as well as a special edition Pikachu.
Bottlecap figures
Kaiyodo produced bottlecap figures to go along with the theatrical releases of the Pokemon movies. They also released a 10th anniversary set that included at least one Pokemon from each of the first 10 movies. More recently, Kaiyodo bottlecaps have been packaged with TCG deck tins in the US. The figures that received a US release are: Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Serperior, Emboar, Samurott, Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, and all three Kyurem formes. Entei, Mewtwo, and Deoxys have also been released in the US, though the pose is the same as the Japanese version.
TFG figures
There was one set (Next Quest) that was officially released. It contained 42 figures, some of which had clear and pearly versions in Europe and Australia. The next set (Groundbreakers) was scheduled for release, but was postponed several times and finally cancelled. A third set was also announced, but most of the figures from this set were never seen.
Some of the figures from the unreleased third set were discovered in 2010, with Groundbreakers figures being found in the following months. It's unknown whether these figures are official prototypes or unofficial copies that were created with the prototype molds. Some of the figures from the third set have the proper bases, while most of the figures from Groundbreakers do not.
