Along with July’s Monthly Pair Pikachu and the 5th batch of kuttari plush that came out today in Japan, the Pokemon Center surprised us with two mini stationary promotions: Mori Asobi (Forest Playtime) and Trick Battle.
These stationary mini promotions can sometimes be easy to miss, especially if they’re released without notice, but they’re great if you like Pokemon themed items (rulers, pencils, notebooks, clearfiles, etc) that you can easily use in your everyday life.
Mori Asobi is a cutesy forest playtime theme featuring Pikachu, Pichu, Pachirisu, Eevee, and Shaymin, as well as Swablu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Dedenne, and Azurill. These items are perfect if you love cute Pokemon playing together and gingham! Another plus to this theme is the lack of default Pokemon art; the original illustrations with them playing together, sleeping, and eating is adorable.
The line-up includes:
Dice Bag (Large) – 604 yen
Dice Bag (Small) – 432 yen
A4 Clearfile – 226 yen
Mini Eraser – 194 yen
Letter and Binder Set – 756 yen
Notebook – 183 yen
Pencil Board – 270 yen
12 Pencil Pack (2B | B) – 745 yen each
Set of 2 Pencils (2 designs) – 162 yen each
Pen Pouch – 1,080 yen
Mini Ruler – 270 yen
Pencil Toppers – 291 yen
One fairly unusual item is this mini sticker book. Along with stickers featuring artwork from the Mori Asobi line-up, there is also a couple pages with Pokedoll stickers. If you are a Pokedoll collector and or fan, definitely don’t pass this up!
Sticker Book – 648 yen
Trick Battle is a more standard Pokemon theme with Pokemon featured in the up-coming 2016 summer Pokemon movie: Ash’s Greninja, Shiny Mega Gardevoir, Shiny Mega Gengar, Volcanion, Zygarde 10%, Zygarde Perfect Forme, and of course Pikachu. The art is a little more defaulty, but if you like Mega Pokemon or Ash’s Greninja, then this line-up is probably more your style.
The line-up includes:
Dice Bag (Large) – 604 yen
Dice Bag (Small) – 432 yen
A4 Clearfile – 226 yen
Mini Eraser – 194 yen
Notebook – 183 yen
Pencil Board – 270 yen
12 Pencil Pack (2B | B) – 745 yen each
Set of 2 Pencils (2 designs) – 162 yen each
Mini Ruler – 270 yen
Pencil Toppers – 291 yen
Sticker Book – 648 yen
If you are interested in purchasing any of these items, there are several options.
If you have a Japanese address or can use a forwarding service, you can buy them directly from the Pokemon Amazon store or the official Pokemon Center Online store.
You can also check out Japan Stuffs (a pick-up service based in Tokyo) or Whale-Sales.
What do you think of these two mini promotions? Are you a fan of these smaller miscellaneous items? Do you own any?
I got quite some stickers myself over the past years. Also the one or other clear file. These look nice but I wouldn’t import any more stickers by now. One album filled with stickers is enough for now. <X3
