Sinnoh (or as it was once known, Hisui) is rightfully getting plenty of love lately. If you’re feeling that Gen IV amore and have cash to spare, then might I direct you to the US Pokémon Center site? Previously spotted on its Japanese counterpart, an absolutely giant Piplup plush is now pre-orderable from the American storefront.
That’s nearly three feet of Piplup, sitting upright and ready to brighten every single day you spend with it. Sure it might be a little pompous by nature, and that $350 price tag is a tall order compared to opening Professor Rowan’s briefcase and picking a partner, but until they remake these remakes as Let’s Go, Piplup! we won’t have this kind of merch push. We need to act, and act now.
Put another way, as seen on its product page: if Piplup fits, Piplup sits. Orders are live, with your extra lovable penguin expected to ship around April 2022.
