Build-A-Bear Launches Exclusive Riolu Plush Bundle for Pokémon Fans Ahead of Holiday Season

Build-A-Bear Launches Exclusive Riolu Plush Bundle for Pokémon Fans Ahead of Holiday Season Pokémon fans have a brand new collectible option this holiday season, as Build-A-Bear Workshop introduces an exclusive Riolu plush bundle through its online store.

Arriving just in time for gift-giving, this new release highlights both the enduring popularity of the Pokémon franchise and Build-A-Bear's continued success in delivering premium, limited-edition merchandise for the Nintendo and Pokémon fan communities. The Riolu plush bundle is a significant addition to Build-A-Bear’s licensed Pokémon collection.

This marks the first time that Riolu, the well-loved Fighting-type Pokémon, becomes available as a plush in the Build-A-Bear lineup.

Standing at an impressive 16 inches tall, the Riolu plush comes with a Premier Ball-themed hoodie—giving fans the opportunity to customize their plush companion with an iconic piece of Pokémon gear.

Each Riolu also includes five different sound effects, further enhancing the play and display experience for collectors and younger fans alike. Retailing exclusively through the Build-A-Bear online store for $57 USD, the Riolu plush bundle offers customers the choice of having Riolu shipped already dressed in its stylish hoodie or arriving undressed for a more hands-on unboxing experience.

"We’re thrilled to bring Riolu to our Pokémon plush collection for the very first time, giving collectors and fans alike a unique way to celebrate their favorite Pokémon this holiday season," said a Build-A-Bear representative in a statement for the release.

The company emphasizes the bundle’s exclusivity, making it a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors. In addition to the Riolu plush, Build-A-Bear is currently holding a Pokémon Event sale, featuring discounts on a wide selection of previous Pokémon plush bundles.

As many existing plush options are marked down, now is an ideal opportunity for fans to expand their collection or find the perfect holiday gift.

Those interested in browsing the full selection can visit the dedicated Pokémon hub page on the Build-A-Bear Workshop online store, where all officially licensed plush lines are showcased. Since establishing its partnership with The Pokémon Company, Build-A-Bear Workshop has steadily expanded its range to include fan-favorite Pokémon from various generations, aligning with milestones such as Nintendo Switch releases and popular Pokémon games.

Each plush is designed for both play and collectibility, making these releases a highly sought-after part of Pokémon merchandise culture.
