Um, can they not be unique?

The Pokemon World Championships are being held this 12 months in Yokohama Japan, and The Pokemon Firm has been hyping them up for weeks now. Naturally, there will probably be merch to purchase there, and it seems to be like there are going to be 4 unique figures primarily based on Pikachu, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. You may recall seeing these food-fiend-themed figures earlier this 12 months, and also you’d be proper! They had been formally unveiled as a part of the brand for the 2023 Championships.

Right here’s the complete rundown from the tweet:

“When you’re becoming a member of us in Yokohama this August, these 2023 World Championships figures that includes Pikachu, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly will probably be accessible completely on the Pokémon Middle Worlds Retailer! #PokemonWorlds”

As soon as once more the World Championships will function junior, senior, and masters occasion qualifiers, with the principle occasion working in August (the date continues to be TBA).

Warning: TOO CUTE to deal with 🥺😍🥹

The Pokemon Firm actually nailed it with the Scarlet and Violet starters

Playing cards on the desk, I’m not going to Yohokama in August! Perhaps I’ll be capable to discover these on the secondhand market. Both method, there’s no scarcity of Pokemon merch, particularly in the case of the lovable Scarlet & Violet trio (and naturally, the perpetually-marketable Pikachu).

This previous weekend I virtually purchased an enormous Mew statue, so I’m undoubtedly the goal market. Plus, who can resist real-life gacha machines with food-based characters? It doesn’t matter what you pull, you all the time win.
