The Pokémon Company has recently unveiled a delightful collection of plush toys featuring fan-favorite Pokémon: Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Eevee. These plushes are designed to accurately reflect their respective in-game Pokédex sizes, making them a perfect addition for collectors and fans alike. This plush series continues the trend set by previous releases, which included beloved Pokémon such as Slowpoke and Psyduck. As part of the Year of Eevee campaign, The Pokémon Company plans to expand this series even further, with upcoming additions of Umbreon, Espeon, Glaceon, Leafeon, and Sylveon.
The new plushes vary in size, with Vaporeon measuring approximately 27 inches, Flareon at around 25 inches, and Jolteon taking the title of the largest at 32 inches. In contrast, Eevee is the smallest of the group, measuring just 16 inches. The pricing for these plush toys is set at £379.99 for Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon, while Eevee is available for a more accessible price of £39.99. All four plushes are currently available for pre-order, allowing fans to secure their favorites ahead of time.
According to The Pokémon Center, Eevee is expected to be released in mid-June, while the three Eevee evolutions—Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon—are anticipated to hit the shelves in mid-November. This staggered release schedule gives fans plenty of time to prepare for these exciting new additions to their collections.
This week, VGC made an exclusive announcement regarding the upcoming Destined Rivals expansion of Pokémon trading cards. This expansion will feature several new cards, including a notable appearance of Misty’s Psyduck, which is sure to excite collectors and players looking to enhance their decks.
The excitement in the Pokémon universe doesn't stop at plushes and trading cards. The next entry in the Pokémon franchise, titled Pokémon Legends Z-A, is set to release later this year. While an official release date has yet to be announced, Nintendo has confirmed that the game will launch on the Nintendo Switch and will also have a special Nintendo Switch 2 edition. This edition is expected to feature significant graphical and performance improvements, enhancing the gaming experience for players.
In Pokémon Legends Z-A, players will have the opportunity to choose from three starter Pokémon: Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile. The game will allow players to revisit the Kalos region and explore Lumiose City, which is currently undergoing an ambitious high-tech redevelopment plan. Additionally, players will meet a new companion named Urbain or Taunie, depending on the player's character appearance chosen at the start of the game. This feature adds an exciting layer of personalization and engagement to the gameplay experience.
The Pokémon Company continues to captivate fans with new merchandise and game releases, making it an exciting time to be part of the Pokémon community. With the launch of the new plushes, the upcoming trading card expansion, and the highly anticipated Pokémon Legends Z-A, there are plenty of reasons for fans to celebrate their love for Pokémon.
