Like many, I was never a huge fan of Bidoof and Bibarel from Gen IV in Diamond and Pearl. I never really used them, and I only caught them for the Pokedex credit. I used to get annoyed at how many I would run into all the time. But one day, as I was looking through people's collections, I suddenly fell in love with these little derps. I always refer to my love for these two occurring overnight, because really, that's what happened! Suddenly I just loved them to pieces, and really, when you look at those faces, how can you not? They quickly stole my heart to become my main focus of Pokemon collecting!
They don't have a lot of merchandise, as they're not super popular, but I do have most of what they do have. I'm mainly missing a few figures and flats. Scroll down to see what I've got!

PLUSHIES
2009 Japanese Pokemon Center Bidoof Pokedoll (Minky)
Purchase Price: $25
Rarity: Very rare and hard to find
This was my very first Pokedoll, and I fell in love with it the moment I saw it online and even more when I received it in the mail! He is top-heavy and likes to do face-plants (how fitting!), which is why my hand is in the picture. He is in minty fresh condition but his hang tag (pictured) is detached and he came that way. He is incredibly soft and adorable and I'm so happy to own him.

2008 Jakks Pacific Electronic Talking Bidoof
Purchase Price: $16
Rarity: Very rare (beware of many bootlegs on eBay!)
**It doesn't actually come with a bandana, I just put one on mine!** This was actually my very first Bidoof item ever! I bought it a long time ago at my local Toys R Us because it was adorable. He says his name if you press his little foot, but it sounds more like a French or Japanese pronunciation than English. He's made of soft minky-like material and is about 12" long. In true Jakks derp fashion, they gave him teeth that stick straight out!

2008 Jakks Pacific Throw Pokeball Bidoof
Purchase Price: $5 in a lot with other items
Rarity: Getting rare and pricey
This was actually my first grail ever! I won him in a lot with other Bidoof items on Pkmncollectors. I was extremely happy to get him because he completed my official Bidoof/Bibarel plush collection! He was all I needed! He has never been a very rare plush (although he is getting scarcer as time goes on) but I could never track one down. When I got him in my hands, I was very happy. He's smaller than my palm!

2008(?) Banpresto Bibarel UFO Catcher
Purchase Price: $14
Rarity: Extremely rare
Boy am I glad I got this guy when I did! I bought him from a member on Pkmncollectors in 2009 when I was starting my collection, and now he's almost impossible to find anywhere. I got him for an amazing price and I love him. He's sans his hang tag but still has his tush tag and is in great condition! He's the only official plush of Bibarel ever made.

Custom 1:1 Scale Bidoof (Minky) by cwinget
This amazing plush was my very first custom purchase, and was commissioned from the very talented cwinget on LiveJournal! She is shown with my Jolteon Pokedoll for size comparison. She is around 2 feet tall! She is made mostly of solid minky, but her face and tummy are made of super soft and warm polar fleece. Her teeth and nose are felt and her eyes are safety button eyes! She is the pride and joy of my Bidoof/Bibarel collection and I love her to pieces. She is very huggable!
FIGURES
2007 Jakks Pacific Basic Bidoof Figures
Purchase Price: $5
Rarity: Common
These figures are very large and heavy compared to many others! Their only point of articulation is a head swivel, but they don't need anything else! They're very cute and I'm glad they made their heads movable. I bought one of them in 2009, and got the second one in a lot in 2010. These figures either came in a 3-pack with other Pokemon or were packaged separately with a marble.

2007Jakks Pacific Pull-Back Racer Bidoof
Purchase Price: $5 (won in a lot with other items)
Rarity: Slightly on the rare side
This guy is really cute. I love how he's laying flat on his belly in the grass! I'm usually not a big fan of these types of toys, but his pull-back mechanism actually works well.

2008 Pokemon Kids Bidoof Figures
Purchase Price: $3 (won one in a lot with other items)
Rarity: Very common
The Bidoof Kids are some of the cutest Bidoof figures ever! They're very tiny hollow figures, like the rest of the Kid figures. They originally come packaged in boxes with a sticker and candy, but I got both of these guys loose. They're very light-weight and the perfect size!

2008 Pokemon Kids Bibarel Figure
Purchase Price: $5 (won in a lot with other items)
Rarity: Common
This guy is very cute! He's bigger than the Bidoof Kid because he's sitting upright. He's around 2" compared to Bidoof who's only around 1" tall.

Takara Tomy Series 5 Buildable Gashapon Bidoof
Purchase Price: $4?
Rarity: Fairly common
In my opinion, this has got to be one of if not the cutest Bidoof figures ever made! I just love his little tilted head and his tiny hands and feet. This pose is very similar to the Bidoof/Bibarel zukan. The figure is about 2" tall and was only available through vending machines and came in a capsule. The base he's sitting on creates a little scene, and the figure itself is separate. He fits onto it perfectly with the little grooves in the base. He's adorable!

Chou Getto Bibarel Figures
Purchase Price: $3 (one the second in a lot with other figures)
Rarity: Still fairly common
These guys are very tiny and cute! They measure around 1.5" tall and come on bases that can interlock with each other. Both figures are the same, although there is a clear version I haven't been able to get my hands on yet. Bibarel sits on the base with a peg that inserts into his butt.

Mystery Dungeon Bidoof Cell Phone Strap/Charm
Purchase Price: $5
Rarity: Semi-rare; I've only seen one other for sale since I got mine!
So tiny, and so hard to get a decent picture of, but this guy is one of my favorite Bidoofs in my entire collection. I've never used him on my phone and don't intend to unless I get another one. He's so tiny and adorable, and I just love his little red scarf.

Mystery Dungeon Bidoof Zukan
Purchase Price: $7
Rarity: Semi-rare; haven't seen too many of these for sale since I got mine
Like the Mystery Dungeon cell phone strap, this Bidoof is another one of my favorites! He's so adorable, and much larger than the strap. He's also much larger than most zukan. This is in two pieces; the base and the figure itself. The figure fits securely on the base on a clear plastic peg that fits into his tummy.

Japanese Release Bidoof/Bibarel 1/40 Scale Zukan
Price: $3
Rarity: Very common
There are two versions of this zukan, the Japanese release, which I have pictured, and also the UK version, which I don't have. The UK release has very subtle differences, mostly with the paint of the figures, and also includes a small Pachirisu figure, for whatever reason. This is such a tiny but very well-detailed little figure set! Bidoof is just darling sitting beside Bibarel.

Bootleg TOMY-like Bidoof Figure
Purchase Price: $3.50
Rarity: All over eBay and China Towns. This guy is everywhere!
Okay, so while I hate to support bootleggers, I couldn't really say no to this little guy. I mean just look at his derpy charm! I also bought him from a China Town shop so the money had already gone to the bootleg company that spawned him. Bidoof just doesn't have enough merchandise for me to say no to his squinty face! Bidoof doesn't have an official TOMY figure, so this is probably as close as we'll ever get!

FLATS/MISCELLANEOUS
2007 Jakks Pacific Bidoof Marbles
Purchase Price: $2 (one the second in a lot with other items)
Rarity: Common
These are the marbles that came packaged with an individual Jakks Bidoof basic figure. As I never could find one in stores, I had to buy these separately! They're very random and... they're marbles?

Bidoof Megablok
Purchase Price: $4
Rarity: Semi-rare
HOW RANDOM IS THIS GUY!? I didn't even know Megabloks had created Pokemon characters until I came across these for sale on Pkmncollectors. When I saw the Bidoof blok, I lost it! I had to get him! He is so tiny, so random, and oh-so adorable. JUST LOOK AT HIS LITTLE FEET!

Bibarel Retsuden Stamper
Purchase Price: $5 (won in a lot with other items)
Rarity: Seems to be quite rare; I've never seen another one of these for sale!
Another awesomely random piece in my collection. I didn't even know Retsuden stamps of Bidoof and Bibarel existed (I still have to get the Bidoof stamp). He does indeed stamp, and the ink is red, but I've only used him about twice in the year and a half or so that I've had him and I don't want to use him anymore incase his ink dries up ;____;

Bibarel Postage Stamp
Purchase Price: Received as a freebie with other purchase
Rarity: Crazy rare, never seen another one, ever!
I have absolutely no idea what company distributed this, when it was released, or anything! I have no information at all. I just know that it's an adorable little stamp, and it's my most coveted flat item in my whole collection. I've never ever seen another one. Someone threw it in as a freebie with another purchase I made!

Bidoof Playing Card
Purchase Price: $2
Rarity: Semi-rare
I'm not sure what company released these cards, but I of course had to get the Bidoof and Bibarel cards! It has Japanese writing, and also includes some stats like height and weight in the circular text around Bidoof. The back has a picture of Palkia.

Bibarel Anime-Style Magnet
Purchase Price: $1.50
Rarity: Rare
Again, I have absolutely no information on this item. I know that this is from an officially-licensed set of anime-style magnets that included several Pokemon from Diamond and Pearl, but other than that, I can't tell you much! He's around 4".

Bibarel Mini-Chip Magnet
Purchase Price: $1.50
Rarity: Rare
This is such a tiny magnet, around 1.5"! I don't know what company released this, but it is very similar to the Retsuden-style magnet, even down to the color scheme and some of the writing on it.

Bibarel Retsuden-Style Magnet
Purchase Price: $2.50
Rarity: Rare
My favorite magnet out of the ones I have! This is around 3" tall and wide. As you can see, it's very similar to the Mini-Chip magnet. It looks exactly like a Retsuden sticker, right down to the boxes with attack information by his feet.
