Pokémon Company and Build-A-Bear Launch Yamper Plush Bundle for Nintendo Fans
The Pokémon Company continues its longstanding partnership with Build-A-Bear Workshop, welcoming another beloved creature to its expansive plush collection.
Introduced as part of the ongoing collaboration, Yamper—the charming Puppy Pokémon from the Pokémon Sword and Shield titles—makes its Build-A-Bear debut starting today.
With the popularity of Pokémon global merchandise at an all-time high, this new plush is poised to capture the hearts of franchise enthusiasts and dedicated Nintendo Switch players alike.
Yamper’s introduction marks yet another milestone for the Pokémon Company, which has successfully expanded its brand into gaming hardware like the Nintendo Switch and digital storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop.
Now, its presence in physical collectibles is further cemented with this new Build-A-Bear exclusive.
Available immediately through the Build-A-Bear online store, the Yamper plush is offered as part of an online-only bundle priced at $65 USD.
This carefully curated set includes the cuddly Yamper plush, a signature 5-in-1 sound chip that replicates noises from the Pokémon franchise, and two themed accessories: an electric cape and a bandana, both exclusive to this offering.
A Build-A-Bear Workshop spokesperson shared that the company continues to see strong demand for Pokémon merchandise among collectors and fans of all ages.
"We’re excited to introduce Yamper as the latest addition to our Pokémon plush range," the representative stated, highlighting the community’s ongoing enthusiasm for bringing their favorite Nintendo characters to life through high-quality plushies.
In addition to online sales, Build-A-Bear has confirmed that the Yamper bundle is expected to be available at most physical Build-A-Bear retail locations in the coming days, expanding accessibility for fans eager to add the puppy Pokémon to their collections.
Since the introduction of Pokémon plush collaborations, Build-A-Bear has released a variety of iconic creature companions, from classics such as Pikachu and Eevee to Sword and Shield newcomers like Grookey and Scorbunny.
These plush offerings have been praised for their attention to detail and collectible accessories, driving strong sales and fostering a unique fellowship between the worlds of Pokémon and physical play.
To purchase the Yamper plush bundle, customers can visit the official Build-A-Bear online store or check local Build-A-Bear Workshop locations as in-store availability increases.
With the Pokémon Company’s ongoing commitment to quality experiences—both in game and through collectibles—this Yamper release promises to be another favorite among Nintendo fans and Pokémon collectors worldwide.
