Build-A-Bear Workshop started taking online pre-orders for their upcoming Pikachu plush today.
In October, they announced that they would be teaming up with the Pokemon Company to bring a Pikachu stuffed animal to their line-up.
They originally planned to add Pikachu to their stores in early 2016, but then decided to bump up the release just in time for the holidays. The official release date hasn’t been shared, though it’s anticipated to be sometime later this month.
There are two options for pre-ordering Pikachu. The exclusive web-only package is a cool $60. For that you get a pre-made Pikachu plush, sound clips of the various noises Pikachu makes, a Poke Ball hoodie, a special trading card, and a Charizard costume.
If you pre-order a Pikachu plush for in-store pickup, you get to make it yourself. The plush and special trading card are $28, and the Poke Ball hoodie is $12.50 extra if you want to add it to your purchase.
