Summary
It’s difficult to know exactly how bigPokemonreally are. Take Charizard. You’d assume the fully evolved Fire-type is pretty big, and its appearances in the anime back that up. However, according to the Pokemon games, Charizard is only five-foot seven. Plushes might be the best place to turn to find out accurate measurements for certain Pokemon as according to the Pokemon Center, the dimensions of its new 59-inch Slowpoke plush is lore-accurate.
Pokemon’s massive new Slowpoke plush is hard to miss if you have recently paid a visit to the Pokemon Center website. Clearly keen for as many people to buy the new product as possible, Slowpoke is front and center on the site via a banner that includes photos demonstrating just how much spare room you will need for it in your home. Slowpoke’s big, empty eyes staring back at you, attempting to lull you into a false sense of security so that you spend $450 on it.
What’s that? Oh, yes, if you want to own a Jumbo Slowpoke plush, it’s going to cost you. $450 for 59 inches of Slowpoke, and while that might seem like a lot of money, you’re getting a lot of Pokemon in return. According to its listing, the dimensions of this Slowpoke are based on the ones you’ll find in the Pokemon’s Pokedex entry. That means the first time you encountered a Slowpoke in Red & Blue, this is the hulking beast your trainer was faced with.
Pre-Order Your Jumbo Slowpoke
Jumbo Slowpoke Plush
The Pokemon Center’s Jumbo Slowpoke is one of the biggest plushes it has ever made. Measuring 59 inches long, its size is based on the one given to the Kanto Pokemon in its very first Pokedex entry.
The Jumbo Slowpoke is only in a pre-order period for now, and it’s unclear how much stock there is or if the Pokemon Center will be at risk of selling out. We do know that even if you buy it right now, the Slowpoke plush won’t be shipped until November 2024. That’s a long time to wait to snuggle up with Slowpoke, but perfect timing if you have a Pokemon fan in your life that you think an awful lot of who you’d like to spoil this holiday season.
Slowpoke continues Pokemon’s quest to have some of its more hardcore fans fill their homes with giant plushes, and considering how big some of them are, it wouldn’t take many. You can owna Psyduck that stands at 31 inches tall for $300, and thenan additional $50 will get you a 21-inch Clodsire. A far more affordable price, but less than half the size of the new Slowpoke. Come to think of it, Slowpoke’s arrival meansour guide to the biggest Pokemon plushesand where to buy them needs an update.
