Blast From The Past Pokemon Center Report

This post will cover the Look Upon The Stars promotion that was released May 20th.

While there were no plush as part of the merchandise line-up, there was still plenty of really neat items with a cute Pokemon night sky twist.

One of my favorite parts of this promotion was the tag art. Lillie’s Bag, originally released as a full-size item when the Pokemon Sun & Moon games were released November 2016, was re-released during this promotion in a smaller pouch form. Personally I thought it was even cuter than the original because I like small things. The tag, if I remember correctly, is the same on both bags.

The Under The Stars hang tag is pretty big, which is both good and bad. Good because you get more art included on the tag, but bad if you like keeping your tags mint and uncreased (the bigger the tag, the easier it is to bend, even just getting it home from the store). To add to it, the tag has a couple bits that stick out, making it even easier to damage. Regardless, I love this art!

The only thing better than the hang tag art, however, is the little Cosmog/Nebby label that appears on most of the items.

I had been pretty excited for this promotion. I love the night, I love night themed stuff, I think Cosmog is a cutie, what could go wrong? Maybe it’s just me but the constellation print they put on most of the items seems oddly blurry, and that coupled with the oddly in focus Cosmog made things look like (to me at least) they weren’t printed well. Jen said it looked fine to her, so it might be that I’m super picky (possible) and in the end it helped me save money, but this cushion is a good example of what I mean by the weird out of focus print style.

Moving on to the merch! Pokemon Center promotions lately have been featuring backpacks as part of their line-up, and Look Upon The Stars was no exception. The backpack features the constellation print and even has little stars on the zippers.

Another neat item: the hoodie! I was conflicted over whether or not I wanted this, as once again, I love constellations and night themed merch, and I also love hoodies, and it’s a dark color which the Japanese Pokemon Center doesn’t make a lot of clothing in darker colors. Plus I loved having the constellation design on the inside.

The downside for me is the print is actually only just behind the zipper and on the hood. The rest of the inside of the hoodie is plain blue, and the material was a little too thin for what I like.

Regardless, it’s still a cute hoodie! And it even features a little Cosmog on the outside.

Some other neat items from the promotion:

A foldable compact mirror featuring the constellation print.

A cute train pass case with the Pikachu and Cosmog illustration

Two types of pens: one featuring the Pikachu and Cosmog illustration and one with the Pokemon constellation art.

Cute socks!

A tumbler with an insert that features the Pikachu and Cosmog illustration on one side and the Pokemon constellation art on the other, so you can switch between the two depending on your mood.

That wraps up Look Upon The Stars! Did you get anything from this promotion? What was your favorite item?

Until next time!
