HUGE HAUL UPDATE!
Instead of cards… I got an odd assortment of items.
First of all I wanted to show off my amazing profile picture I commissioned from the extremely talented @aeyu!
Darkrai & Umbreon STAFF 2019 Regional Championships Playmat
The two goth GOATs on a Playmat that was given out to staff at Regional Championships in 2019. Super happy to own this.
Darkrai (4-3-007G) Mezastar Tag
My first Pokémon arcade game tag! For those unfamiliar: there are various arcade games where you bring your Pokémon tags and put them in the machine in order to battle with those specific Pokémon.
Darkrai Mini Flashlight
A Darkrai mini flashlight distributed at Pokémon Centers in 2008. Unfortunately the battery is dead & cannot be replaced. However, when it worked it would shine a silhouette of Darkrai!
Darkrai Ink Stamp
Not much to say about this one other than I think it’s adorable.
Darkrai Iron-On Patches
A few designs exist for Darkrai iron-on patches but I believe these two are a bit more difficult to find. I’d like to get the other ones that exist one day!
Rise of Darkrai Movie Bubble Stickers
I loved Bubble Stickers as a kid, and here’s some that were made to promote the Rise of Darkrai movie! Not going to use any of these, just keep them in their original packaging.
Darkrai Winter Hat with Earmuffs
This is a bit of a strange one: a Darkrai Winter Hat… with Earmuffs? For the small crossover between Darkrai & Holden Caulfield fans I guess! Speaking of Darkrai hats: awhile ago I got scammed buying a Darkrai Organized Play Cap and haven’t been able to find one since. Currently I have a WTB thread looking for one. This Winter Hat has filled the void in the meantime!
AND FINALLY… THE PIÈCE DE RÉSISTANCE…
Rise of Darkrai Movie Toy Truck
The greatest Darkrai oddity. This toy truck originally came as part of a bundle with another toy vehicle promoting a completely different franchise. I can’t recall the listing my friend found after I had purchased this toy truck that informed us of this, so if anybody has any information regarding this toy truck it would be appreciated!
Anywho…
I had a lot of fun hunting down these items and I hope you all enjoy this giant update! I haven’t bought a Darkrai card in a long time and I plan to go back to grabbing cards in the near future… I just have too much fun finding these items you wouldn’t necessarily think of!
Doomrai out!

‘Hey Doomrai, what sort of Darkrai stuff do you collect?’
Doomrai: Yes.

I have this. But I got totally ripped off because the DVD inside was WRONG. It didn’t come with the card, but I do have the card too. Not sure if you have it or not, but I thought it was kind of a fun oddity to collect.

Your toy Darkai truck seems to be the following:
2007 Takara Tomy Shareholder Exclusive Set (Transformers/Pokemon)
The Transformers car is from the Tomica toy line (Tomica (toy line) - Wikipedia), while the Pokemon car is from the Choro-Q toy line (Choro-Q - Wikipedia)

Cheers!

I only own the card, I’d love to get the DVD someday that it originally came in! Very cool!!
Thank you so much sharing! How strange to see them both come together in one package.
Brilliant!!

Long time no update! Been busy with college and have been needing to post about this.
Behold!
I have a brand new custom binder engraved by CutScoreEngrave with art by my friend @aeyu ! the entire English Darkrai collection has been moved into Dragon Shield Crimson Sleeves and it’s now housed in this custom 4 pocket binder!
I also have brand new placeholders created by my pal @slowqueen that I absolutely love!
Going to be grabbing more Darkrai cards, been stuck at owning 30 out of the 58 cards I need for awhile. I’ll post some of my favorites I obtain here!
P.S. still searching for the Darkrai Organized Play Cap. If you know anybody who owns one - send them my way! Seems to be my white whale for Darkrai collecting.

Welp… here it is. The most expansive & hardest to find English Darkrai. I got a really good deal on it and it’s very good condition for being HP. Just wanted to show this off!
This is Dark Explorers 107/108.
I’ve also started collecting Japanese Darkrai cards. There’s 58 English Darkrai cards as of me writing this but only 55 Japanese Darkrai cards. That being said, there is 046/DPt-P which is the one Darkrai I will never, ever get in my life. My one truly nonfindable.
Hope everybody is having a great start to their week and enjoys Z-A dropping this Thursday! I’m truly excited for the game.
