Nintendo merchandise retailers have begun taking international orders for a standout collectible: Pokemon Center Japan’s 180cm lifesize Furret plush.
NintendoSoup Store opened global pre-orders for the oversized plush, which is produced by The Pokemon Company and marketed through Pokemon Center Japan.
At 180 centimeters in length, the lifesize Furret is the largest plush ever produced by The Pokemon Company for the Pokemon Center line.
Company materials note the plush is long enough to surpass the height of many adults, a scale that prompted side-by-side photos comparing the lifesize Furret to a standard-size Furret plush.
Retail images make clear the larger item is shown next to a standard plush only for scale; the standard plush is not included with the lifesize model.
NintendoSoup Store’s product listing describes the Furret collectible as a make-to-order item.
Because each plush is produced to fulfill pre-orders, the listing states there will be no restock after the pre-order window closes.
The pre-order period concluded on March 23, 2019 at 11:59 p.m.
Pacific Time, per the retailer’s posted deadline.
Orders placed during the window were eligible to ship worldwide from NintendoSoup Store.
Rewriting key points from the retailer and Pokemon Center information in straightforward terms: NintendoSoup Store confirmed it accepted international pre-orders for the 180cm Furret lifesize plush; Pokemon Center Japan and The Pokemon Company emphasized the item’s unique length as the largest plush the company has released; the lifesize plush was shown alongside a standard-size Furret for visual comparison, though the standard plush was not part of the purchase; and because the plush is produced on a make-to-order basis, the company indicated it would not restock the item after the pre-order close date.
Collectors interested in past Pokemon Center exclusives will recognize this lifesize Furret as part of a continuing trend of high-profile, limited-availability plush releases by Pokemon Center Japan.
As with other make-to-order collectibles, buyers were advised to place orders during the pre-order window to secure availability.
