Pokémon - Topps Movie Edition - Blastoise - 1999

Topps Pokémon: The First Movie Edition (1999) - Rainbow Foil Blastoise

Release Date: August, 1999.

Step back into the height of Pokémon’s late-90s craze with the Topps Pokémon: The First Movie Rainbow Foil Blastoise, released in 1999 to celebrate Pokémon: The First Movie – Mewtwo Strikes Back. Unlike traditional TCG releases, these Topps cards feature a distinctive rainbow foil finish and bold illustrated design, making them instantly recognizable among vintage Pokémon collectibles.

This card highlights Blastoise, the powerhouse final evolution of Squirtle and one of the original Kanto starters, captured in a vibrant foil treatment that perfectly reflects the style of the era. The Movie Edition set is deeply nostalgic, tied directly to Pokémon’s silver screen debut and the height of its cultural explosion.

With its unique artwork, limited release, and historical value outside the core TCG line, the Rainbow Foil Blastoise is a standout piece for collectors. A true vintage gem that embodies the magic of Pokémon’s first cinematic milestone and the timeless appeal of the original 151.
