The newestPokemonSquishmallows are finally here, which feature series favorites Pikachu and Gengar. Interested gamers can snag these on the official Pokemon Center website, which retails for about $25 each. Each character is available in a 12-inch version and is limited to one per person. This effort onPokemon’s part could help prevent scalping. A recent example of this was seen with Pokemon cards.Last year scalpers snaggedPokemonHappy Mealspreventing fans from getting the exclusive cards. For now, it seemsPokemonandSquishmallowsare ensuring that genuine buyers are snapping up the adorable plush characters, not resellers.
Besides only Pikachu and Gengar being available for now, it was revealed that Snorlax would be purchasable next year in a second series. Perhaps more fan-favorite Pokemon will be available in Squishmallow form later on as well. Before this latest collaboration,Build-A-Bear andPokemonhad a longstanding relationship, making it the go-to forPokemonplush. Capitalizing on the popularity of theSquishmallowbrand andPokemon’s popularity can likley only mean good things for collectors of both franchises.
With the most recent release ofPokemonScarletandViolet, perhapsSquishmallowswill release products based on newer Pokemon somewhere down the line. It should prove a welcome distraction to fans who aren’t too thrilled withPokemonScarletandViolet’s debut so far.
