Riding off the success and highly praised cuteness of the “Eevee and Colorful Friends” collection and other adorable Pokémon Center Eevee merchandise, November 21st is the starting date for Project Eevee, which offers a slew of equally cute (if not more cute) items.
The main part of this new promotion is a social media campaign. Looking to own a full set of Eevee wearing the ponchos of its evolutionary options? Posting the hashtag “プロジェクトイーブイ” on Twitter and Instagram will gain you an entry. Sadly, this is only open to residents of Japan.
Besides that, Pokémon Centers in Tokyo and Osaka will be holding their own social media promotion throughout this week. Both locations will have a photo booth set up with Eevee themed accessories. Take a photo and show the Pokémon Center staff and you’ll receive a sticker sheet for free. Proceed by posting the photo and you’ll receive a second sticker sheet!
Now onto the merchandise. With a chance of appearing in 2018 for North American fans via the Pokémon Center site, there’s a line of sleeping Eevee and Eeveelution dolls! Priced at 4,104 yen (roughly $36.48), these sleeping Pokémon are extremely cute and quite big. Sizes will vary from each character, but Eevee is at least 17 inches long. Definitely at a 1:1 scale, if not bigger.
Other goods include stationery products (pens and clear files) and a dish towel with matching plates. For Pokémon TCG enthusiasts, buying curated bundles of card packs will also get you a promo card of Eevee dressed as Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Glaceon, Leafeon or Sylveon.
With all the love Eevee has been receiving this year, there’s no chance in running low on cute merch. What are your picks among the latest products released in Japan?
