Snorlax 2004 Japanese Pokemon Bandai Kids Fire Red Leaf Green #070 POP 1 CGC 5.5

The Bandai Kids (also known as Pokémon Kids) series is a long-running line of Japanese collectibles that began in 1996. Unlike the standard Trading Card Game (TCG), these cards were originally released as "bonuses" included inside boxes of Bandai’s popular soft vinyl finger puppets.

The FireRed & LeafGreen variant was released between 2004 and 2005 to commemorate the remakes of the original Generation I games on the Game Boy Advance. This era of Bandai Kids cards is highly regarded by collectors for several reasons:

• Distinctive Design: These cards feature a thicker cardstock compared to standard TCG cards and often utilize unique, high-energy character art that was exclusive to Bandai's promotional products.

• Set Transition: This period marked a shift in the series where the packaging moved from "blind boxes" to "open packages," allowing fans to see which figure (and corresponding card) was inside.

• Kanto Nostalgia: As a tie-in to the FireRed & LeafGreen video games, the set focuses heavily on the original 151 Pokémon, updated with the vibrant art style of the mid-2000s.

Graded examples of these cards are increasingly rare, as they were originally intended as toy inserts rather than protected collectibles, making this CGC-certified piece a standout addition to any vintage Pokémon archive.
