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

Release Date: August, 1999.

Capture a true piece of Pokémon nostalgia with the Topps Pokémon: The First Movie Rainbow Foil Venusaur, released in 1999 to coincide with the theatrical debut of Pokémon: The First Movie – Mewtwo Strikes Back. Unlike traditional TCG cards, these Topps editions feature a unique artistic design and glossy rainbow foil finish, making them stand out as both collectibles and historical memorabilia.

This card showcases Venusaur, one of the original Kanto starters and a fan-favorite since the franchise’s beginning, brought to life in a vibrant foil treatment that reflects the bold style of late-90s collectibles. The Movie Edition series is particularly cherished among collectors for its nostalgic connection to the Pokémon phenomenon at the height of its cultural impact.

With its striking artwork, limited-era print run, and unique place outside the standard TCG line, the Rainbow Foil Venusaur is a must-have for fans of vintage Pokémon ephemera. A grail item that celebrates both the original 151 and the Pokémon franchise’s explosive debut on the big screen.
