Summary
Pokemonrevealed last week thatits next life size plush will be Eevee. Turns out that was only the start of what it has planned for its most expensive, but still very popular, plush range. It has followed up on that announcement with the reveal that every single evolved form of Eevee will be getting a life size plush of its own.
Pokemon has shared a lot of images of its new life size Eeveelutions, including an image that shows how big they are compared to the previously revealed Eevee plush, which may explain why they weren’t revealed at the same time.Pokeshopperhas shared the images alongside some of the finer details you’re going to need to know if you want any of these sizable soft toys.
The life size Eevee plush is 36cm long, which is still pretty big and significantly larger than Eevee appears in the games. Some of its evolved forms' life size plushes will be more than three times the size of the new Eevee,measuring in at anywhere between 90cm and 110cm. It’s unclear which plush is the longest, but based on looks alone, Espeon’s straighter tail gives me the impression that the Psychic-type Eeveelution might be the longest of the eight.
Every Single Eeveelution Has Been Given The Life Size Plush Treatment
Someone Call My Bank And Warn Them, It’s For My Own Good
Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Flareon are available now, Espeon and Umbreon will be released next month, and then Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon will round out the collection in June. The plushes won’t start shipping until November.
Their larger size also means the life size Eeveelutions will cost quite a bit more than the Eevee plush. Eevee’s price wasn’t clear at first, but it has now been revealed to be3,850 yen ($28). Even though the Eeveelutions are three times the size, you’ll need to pay ten times the price if you want one. The massive plushes have beenpriced at 44,000 yen each, which is roughly $309.
That’s already bad news for any of you with ambitions to own all eight. Best case scenario,it’s going to cost you close to $2,500 if you want to catch ‘em all. The range has only been confirmed to release in Japan at the moment, but it will likely come to the US and elsewhere at a later date. When that happens, it’s unlikely the price will be a simple yen-to-dollar conversion.
Other life size Pokemon plushes to have made the jump from Japan to the US have wound up being significantly more expensive outside of Pokemon’s home country.The five-foot Garedevoir, for example, costs $320 in Japan, but you’ll have to pay $450 from the US Pokemon Center. That probably means the life size Eeveelution plushes will cost about the same.
