The Plush Parade: Pokémon Center’s Latest Cosplay Creations
In a world where collectibles reign supreme, keeping tabs on the Pokémon Center’s releases has become a ritual. Devotees eagerly await new drops as anticipation builds for plushies that evoke excitement and nostalgia. Yet, timing is key as some treasures sell out before the ink dries on a press release.
This week, a set of five Pikachu plushies crashed the scene. They each sport cosplay looks that Pokémon Go fans will instantly recognize. First up, there’s the quirky mad scientist Pikachu Ph.D., whose whimsical charm makes it a standout. Meanwhile, the dazzling Pop Star Pikachu and its counterpart, Rock Star Pikachu, strike a chord. The Rock Star Pikachu, in particular, flaunts epic eyebrows and a fierce ‘70s look.
However, the real crowd-pleasers have been the Pikachu dressed as Eevee and vice versa. Sadly, these cuties sold out swiftly in the U.S. and Australia. But fear not, they remain available on the UK Pokémon Center. If you’re game for international shipping or have a British buddy, this might be your only in. A dash of international savvy could secure these plush magicians for your collection.

Yet, these cosplay Pikachus are just the tip of the iceberg. The Pokémon Center’s lineup also features a slew of fresh plushies that promise to delight. Fans can find the unique Rotom Dex form stuffed toy, adding a touch of gadgetry to the plush universe. New versions of beloved classics make a reappearance too. Greninja, Dragonite, Latios, and Latias have jumped into the fray, rekindling old favorites in this soft form. And don’t overlook the 10-inch iterations of every Eeveelution. Oh, and let’s not forget the latest, poseable Mewtwo—a masterpiece of plush engineering.
To further fuel your plush frenzy, we’ve gathered a stunning slideshow showcasing these Pikachu wonders. Be prepared for a visual treat that might just cause plush envy, especially with those elusive Eevee versions.
The Collector’s Dream: Pre-Order Spotlight
Speaking of avoiding disappointment, a notable addition now graces the pre-order stage. Yes, the life-size Gardevoir is yours for the taking—at a cool $450. A splurge, perhaps, but one that makes a statement in any Pokémon collection.
Here’s a thought for The Pokémon Company, just a modest suggestion: manufacture more, sell more, and leave fewer fans in dismay. It’s a simple equation, but could there be marketing genius in its simplicity? Time will tell, as fans clamor for these incredible plush creations, driven by a blend of love and collector’s zeal.
