Earlier this year, The Pok\u00e9mon Company released a special retro-style Pikachu plush in Japan to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Pok\u00e9mon series. This was followed by confirmation the plush (and a key chain based on the same design) would be getting a local release in the future.<\/p>\n

This plush has now been made available on the Pok\u00e9mon Center, and while it seems stock has already sold out in the US and other locations like Australia, it’s worth checking back for a restock in the coming days and weeks. The Pikachu 1996 Style Plush<\/a> is priced at $29.99 \/<\/strong> \u00a324.99<\/strong> (or your regional equivalent<\/em>) and the key chain<\/a> is $12.99 \/ \u00a39.99<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Pikachu 1996 Style Plush is bursting with retro charm. With its monochrome palette and pixelated features, this charming little chonkster faithfully recreates Pikachu\u2019s original appearance in the Pok\u00e9mon Red<\/em> and Pok\u00e9mon Green<\/em> video games for Game Boy. In addition to the infinitely huggable plush, there\u2019s also the Pikachu 1996 Style Plush Key Chain that brings big-time nostalgic vibes to your bag, backpack, or lanyard.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
