Give-away ends Noon EST Dec. 30th (Sunday), 2018 so don’t forget to enter before the deadline. Good luck!

Pokemon Center Seasons Pikachu & Eevee

Although there were no new merchandise announcements from the Pokemon website on Friday, Saturday (December 22nd) made up for it with a bunch of cute releases all at once.

One of which was the Winter version of the Pikachu & Eevee Seasons pair plush series. This plush features Eevee and Pikachu cuddling in a box of Pokemon shaped chocolates!

Ditto Plush

Next up – a new volume from the very popular Ditto Transform! series!

As with every Ditto Transform release, this set featured 5 Pokemon (Leafeon, Glaceon, Litwick, Misdreavus, and Poipole)

Ditto Transform Mascot

in both plush versions and mascot plush size versions.

(My favorite is of course Litwick!)

Pokemon Center Ditto Transform Figure Collection

Along with the two types of plush, there was also a matching gacha figure collection set with the same five Pokemon!

For the record, Poipole loved me. I played 10 times and 6 were Poipole. Left and came back to try again… another Poipole. Came back another day … three more Poipole!!

(I was able to eventually get a Litwick Ditto thankfully)

Pokemon Center Super Nerd

The big release for this weekend was the Super Nerd promotion…

Pokemon Center Robot Pikachu Super Nerd

… featuring Robot Pikachu!

Super Nerd Mascot

Along with two sizes of Robot Pikachu plush (normal size and an extra large foot tall version), there was a smaller mascot plush size version plus mascot plushies of Pikachu, Charmander, Alolan Vulpix, and Piplup, all wearing matching scientist coats!

Pokemon Center Super Nerd

The promotion featured some Pokemon Center staples, such as the blind packaged rubber charm collection

Super Nerd Items 1

There were also a bunch of other cute and original items, including a Robot Pikachu memo note holder, a set of cute acrylic clips, a writable mini size blackboard, eyeglass cases, phone cases, and pens and pencils with small Robot Pikachu charms (among others!)

Super Nerd Shirts

We got a bunch of new and cute Pokemon Center socks as well as two types of t-shirt designs.

Pokemon Center TCG Super Nerd

The Super Nerd promotion even included the TCG crowd with two original card sleeve designs!

Pokemon Center Eevee Bell Charm

And if all of those expected releases weren’t enough, there were some surprise releases as well!

A set of Eeveelution themed bell charms came out on Saturday, which featured all the Eeveelutions (minus Eevee who already has a bell charm).

Note that they’re called bell charms because the charms are bells!

A set of Pokemon shaped carabiner clips (Pikachu Tail, Eevee Tail, Eevee Face, Gulpin, Pyukumuku, Diglett, and Charjabug) were also released this past Saturday.

That wraps up this week’s Pokemon Center Report!

Thanks for looking and (to those who celebrate) Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Pokemon Center Report – New Plush + TCG + Magikarp Jump

Pokemon Center Report – New Plush + TCG + Magikarp Jump

Hello everyone!

In my attempts to catch up with a bunch of releases that came out all at once, here is part one covering new Pokemon Center plush, card sleeves, Magikarp Jump mini promotion, and a couple miscellaneous items.

First up: new Pokemon Center exclusive plush!

ORAS Plush Again

I should probably say “new” as the majority of plush in this batch came out about two years back or so with the release of Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.

With such a large number of Pokemon, many of which don’t have official plush, I’m not sure why the Center gave us plush of Pokemon that literally get plush all the time, but the Pokemon Center does what it wants. With that said, the plush are still cute!

Tomy Dusk Lycanroc

Our very first official plush of Dusk Lycanroc came out a few weekends ago!

Along with this adorable Rowlet plush that comes with a little backpack to carry him around in.

Lycanroc & Shiny Mimikyu

Last weekend, two surprise and unannounced Pokemon Center plush were released under the rader: shiny Mimikyu and the second official plush of Dusk Lycanroc!

September TCG

Two Friday’s ago, a bunch of new Pokemon card sleeves were released along with the release of the “Awakened Heroes” and “Ultra-Dimensional Beasts” booster packs.

A matching deck case featuring beautiful Silvally artwork also went on sale the same Friday.

Schedule Books 2018

Four schedule books for 2018 went on sale last weekend also with little fanfare and no previous announcements.

The two Pikachu books are made of leather and the price for both reflect it, as they’re double the price of the Ditto Transform! and Eeveelution books. All of them are cute!

Magikarp Jump

Last and certainly not least, a very small amount of official Magikarp Jump merchandise came out two weekends back. Not pictured here is the blind packaged acrylic charms. (I have two on the way and I’m excited to see which fish patterns I pull!)

Stay tuned for more exciting Pokemon Center Reports!

Until next time~
