    So I was left with this alarm clock, and when I tried multiple search engines aswell as sale sites i cannot find anything with results or information on its value. I've never had so much trouble trying to find an item or details on anything... I was hoping someone would be able to help me figure out a little more info on this please. I have had it over 20 years and it has never been used or handled previous to me taking a couple pictures.

    I think there's been a revival in interest re: Pokemon, so that should help the value. Beyond that, I can't help you....:)

    Now - please do not quote me on this (and please do NOT ask how I even have this possible knowledge), but I THINK the ones by Solina (the OP's) were the first licensed ones produced. The quality was not considered that great when they became very popular, so the other companies were licensed thereafter.

    Of course, I could have that totally bass akward..........................

    And there is no way this clock is "one of a kind," You may not see others for sale for any number of reasons, but that does not make it unique.

    Agreed - there is one that appears the same that shows up in google results, but it leads to a dead eBay auction with no photos or details

    And if your recollection about quality issues is correct, who would want one anyway? They're probably all in landfills.

    Which of course would make any survivors "RARE" and "HTF" and a prime candidate for pricing the low four figures???????????????????;):smuggrin::smuggrin:

    When I first saw that name I thought it read; Pokememon
    ;)
    Thought it was a Jamaican adult cartoon character.
    :eek:

    Apparently, it was all the rage last summer as a cell phone game, naturally i missed out on the whole thing.

    Pokemon Go is still popular. You see people holding their cell phones out and what they are doing is "capturing" Pokemon characters that appear on their phones in certain places. We have a couple of Pokemon spots in town and I've seen it. Older kids and young adults mostly.
