Gotta Catch ‘Em All: Life-Size Eeveelution Plushies Take the Pokémon World by Storm!
Pokémon fans, prepare to empty your wallets! The Pokémon Company is releasing a line of life-size Eeveelution plush dolls, and they're as adorable (and expensive) as you'd imagine. Starting with Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, these massive plushies are set to delight collectors and make a serious dent in their bank accounts.
The news first broke on the Pokémon website, with the initial announcement of a life-sized Eevee plush doll going on sale. On April 24th, the online Pokémon Center store in Japan, and later in-stores on April 26th, began offering the initial wave of plushies. The Eevee plush, measuring 36cm high, 41cm wide, and 25.5cm long, weighs in at 396 grams and costs 3,850 yen (approximately $27 USD). But that's just the beginning.
Alongside Eevee, the online store also launched the life-sized plush dolls of Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. These bigger Eeveelutions come with a bigger price tag: 44,000 yen (around $308 USD) each. Vaporeon measures a whopping 68 by 60 by 92 centimeters and weighs 4,400 g. Jolteon is 81 by 81 by 96 centimeters and also weighs 4,400 grams. Flareon is 64 by 83 by 110 centimeters and weighs 5,800 grams. Imagine snuggling up with one of these behemoths!
For those aiming to complete the entire collection, the Pokémon Center plans to release the remaining Eeveelutions – Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon – in the future. Release dates and the order of release haven't been announced yet, leaving eager fans in anticipation.
The release is part of the Pokémon Company’s “Year of Eevee” celebration, dedicated to the beloved fox-like Pokémon and its diverse evolutions. This prompted speculation among fans that a new Eeveelution might be in the cards, especially with the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A returning to Kalos, the home region of the fairy-type Sylveon.
Currently, the plushies are primarily available on the Japanese Pokémon Center website, but they have made their way to the U.S. Pokémon Center store as well, albeit with a price increase to $400 per Eeveelution. Pre-orders for the initial four (Eevee, Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon) in Japan run until May 19.
These Eeveelution plushies join a growing line of life-size Pokémon merchandise, including popular choices like Gardevoir, Lucario and Porygon, catering to the desires of hardcore Pokémon enthusiasts.
