Ash Figure

At right we have Ash, the human-hero character from the imensely popular Pokemon series.

This toy stands about two inches tall, and has a fairly decent paint job. The mold is crisp and clean, and appears to be first generation.


Blue Figure

And at left we have Blue from Blue's clues.

Blue is also about 2" tall, from a good mold, and painted well.



What the heck do these two figures have in common? The answer is the following bootleg: Clues & Monster.

Figures on Card

Yes, for some inexplicable reason, the worlds of Blue's Clues and Pokemon have collided, with this bootleg as a result.

There are six fiugres blister carded to a single-sided backer. Clockwise from top left we have:

The backboard has pictures of all six characters underneath the blister, with Pikachu up by the logo. Other than a child safety warning in the lower right corner, and the logo at the top, there is no other text on the backboard.

Overall, this is one wacked out bootleg. Sure, Pokemon and Blue's Clues are both popular kids shows, but the juxtaposition here makes no sense. You might as well have packed Blue with Batman and called it a "Detective Two Pack".
