The pixel Pikachu plush that we collectively lost our minds over earlier this year is now available to buy. I expect nothing less than a stampede to grab one, so brace yourself – or join the queue before it’s gone, I guess.
Following its reveal at a Pokemon 30th Anniversary merch event, the ‘Pikachu 1996 Style Plush’ just became available for $29.99 at the Pokemon Center (or £24.99 if you’re based in the UK). Considering how positively feral the community, including me, went for this thing, I feel honor-bound to let you know that it’s now up for grabs.
Pokemon Center
Pikachu 1996 Style Plush
Look out, a wild Pikachu appeared! Recreating the electric mouse as it appeared back in the original Pokemon Game Boy games, it’s a dead ringer for how the pocket monster appeared when you’d find it in Viridian Forest. Not that it’s pocket sized, of course; its dimensions are 6.7 x 7.1 x 9.1 inches.
UK: £24.99 at Pokemon Center
Because there’s so much anticipation surrounding this little guy, I have absolutely no doubt that it’ll sell out quickly. If you want to guarantee one for your own collection, I’d suggest running – no, sprinting – to the Pokemon Center as soon as you can. I don’t mean to sound alarmist, but I’ve spent a long time tracking both the best Pokemon merch and the card game, and gear as cool as this almost never stays in stock for long; they get snapped up alarmingly fast. I may be wrong, but I suspect the same will be true here.
If you want to grab a nostalgic Pikachu plushie of your own, I’ll keep my fingers crossed you get through. Good luck, trainers.
