If you, like me, would take bullets for the Shinx line of Pokémon, then the merch gods have something in store for you: a new line of goods titled “My Rentorar’s Story” (Rentorar is the Japanese name for Luxray), combining wholesome storytelling, electric blues and blacks, and… FILA sportswear? The lineup includes the following:
- Plushies for Shinx (3,740 yen), Luxio (3,960 yen), and Luxray (4,180 yen)
- Plush keychains for the whole line (1,210 yen each)
- A Shinx airpod case (2,728 yen)
- An LED Shinx light (4,400 yen)
- A felt pouch displaying the three Pokémon (2,728 yen)
- A phone case designed so that closing it looks like Luxray picking up Shinx by the scruff of its neck (3,300 yen)
- FILA Shinx shirt (5,500 yen)
- FILA Luxio hoodie (13,200 yen)
- FILA Luxray windbreaker (18,700 yen)
- FILA Shinx shoulder bag (5,940 yen)
- And more!
This is all in relation to the theme of “Shinx’s growth,” conveyed alongside a promotional graphic, conveniently in English:
It personally kills me that none of this is conveniently available to international audiences (especially that phone case I would attack someone for that), but if you’re internet savvy or just live in Japan, you can pick up your My Rentorar’s Story goods beginning January 15th. (Pre-orders begin on the 8th!)
