Summary
Pokemonand Squishmallow are teaming up to introduce two new Squishmallows, this time adding Eevee and Chansey to the collection. The Gen 1 Pokemon have remained iconic and popular since their inception in thePokemonseries, making them good choices to join the group.
When it comes toPokemonplush toys, there are many options for potential buyers to choose from.Pokemonproduces many plush variants of its pocket monsters itself, and also works with third-party companies like Squishmallow and Build-a-Bear to create specialized variants, too. WhilePokemonBuild-a-Bearsare special for their customizable nature and speaking chips,PokemonSquishmallows are loved for their squishy, huggable qualities and their slightly simplified, chibi-version designs of iconic Pokemon.
As of this writing, both Eevee and Chansey are now available for pre-order atThe Pokemon Center. The two plush toys are the same size, coming in at 12 inches in height and 10 inches in width. As officially licensed products, the two plush toys feature an embroidered Poke Ball patch on their backs, and are made out of soft, touchable fabric that makes them inviting to squeeze.Chanseylooks a little closer to how it appears in games and the animated series, down to a three-dimensional protruding egg pouch and a long tail. Eevee is a little rounder and sillier looking, shaped like an egg overall, though it also has a large bushy tail of its own.
Pokemon Squishmallows for Christmas?
The two Squishmallows are available for $29.99 USD and are estimated to ship by mid-January in 2025. This makes them a little too late to pick up for someone as a Christmas present, but there are plenty of otherPokemonSquishmallowsavailable for purchase now that should make it with time to spare if buyers don’t wait too long. As the holiday season gets closer, buyers should avoid delaying a purchase, asPokemonSquishmallows have sold out in the past.
However, those who wait too long may still be in luck, asPokemonSquishmallows typically make appearances at other stores following their Pokemon Center launches. These tend to be different sizes than the Pokemon Center versions, and they lack the special Pokemon Center Poke Ball patch on the back. They’re otherwise identical, though, andPokemon Squishmallows have a history of flying off shelves at places like Target and Walmart. The cute and affordable plush toys make a great choice for anyone interested inPokemon, especially when a fan’s favorites get the Squishmallow treatment.
