I am back two nights in a row, slowly getting caught up with my Pokemon Center Reports!
The latest release from San-ei’s All-Star series was originally scheduled for the 12th (same day as December’s Monthly Pair Pikachu and New Years 2017) but because San-ei doesn’t really like to follow release rules, they came out a week early. Why not?

The release consisted mostly of a bunch of regular sized plush, a couple medium and large sized plush (some bigger versions of previously released Pokemon) and three cushions from the fluffy and soft (mochifuwa) cushion collection.
So what all was included? Let’s take a look!

We had a fairly low key release this past Saturday with the Pokemon New Years 2017 promotion. Which was fine by me considering how stressful next week’s release is probably going to be!

First up, the Monthly Pair Pikachu plush for December came out on the 12th! These two Pikas are going snowboarding and nothing is getting in their way of having a good time.
The first thing that surprised me about the plush was the snowboard – based on the previous plush and their accessories, I thought the snowboard would be made out of a felty cardboard sort of material that could bend easily, but actually it’s made of plastic. Second, the fabric they used for the jackets feels very much like the type of fabric commonly used for jackets worn for winter sports or I guess sports in general, which I thought was a cute touch.

The tag is just as adorable as the real plush! There have been some cute pair plush in the past, but this pair might be one of my top favorites from the set.

The second main event for Saturday was the New Years merchandise. I’ve noticed that most New Years merchandise gets overlooked, and I have a feeling this year will face the same fate, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a bunch of cute items included in the line-up.

With the cutest item being the plush! It’s actually a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It seems like recent plush are either smaller than expected or bigger, but no middle ground…which is fine when it’s bigger!

I thought we would have another uneventful Friday with no updates, but the Pokemon site decided to wait until the moment I left the house to give us news, because they’re nice like that.

I can’t complain much with a Darumaka Pikachu plush that looks as adorable as this, though!
