Just in time for Pokémon Day in Japan, brand-new merch has been revealed! Plushes, snacks, charms, camping gear, a LOT has been shown off! Let’s take a look at some of the new items in the region.
Takara Tomy
One of the most sought after items is the 1:1 Pikachu plush. Taking on Pikachu’s former portly look, it’s been selling out everywhere. Unfortunately, at this time it has not made it stateside and doesn’t look to happen anytime soon.
Pokémon Center Offerings
- New clothing featuring the original Red and Green designs, hats, and bags will be available later this year.
- A poster with every single main series game up to Legends: Z-A.
- Keychains featuring cover art of each game from Red/Green to Z-A, featuring each individual box and cartridge.
- New Pikachu plushes in a gold color, holding a Poké Ball with “30th” inscribed.
- Pokemon Timeless Adventure Moleskine journal, stickers and keychain.
- Backpacks, bags, wallets and more featuring silhouettes of the original 151.
- What will likely be the most popular item, a 3D diorama of S.S. Anne, along with a black and white Pikachu plush with its original look and smaller keychain plush.
Other upcoming releases
- LLADRÓ will release 2 figures, 1 of Pikachu and 1 of Pikachu & Eevee.
- Moringa Milk releasing cookies, snacks and drinks with themed packaging.
- LOGOS releasing camping gear, including a tent, chairs, bag, cooler bags, a standing tray and more.
- Bandai Spirits will have a variety of plushes featuring starters from Gen I to IV, as well as Pikachu.
Japan is getting a lot of love! I really hope we see the monochrome Pikachu plush here in the states, as well as the keychains of each game. It’s a great way to show off the love for your favorite entry in the franchise!
What do you hope makes it over to us? And what do you want to see in tomorrow’s presentation?
