A complete plush toy collection of the original 151 Pokémon is headed to Japanese Pokémon Centers starting this month.
According to the Japanese Pokémon website, a first wave of the adorable little creatures will appear in stores this Friday (13th July) and will also be available to order online. This first set will include 30 of those original 151, with fan-favourites and famous faces kicking things off.
The other 121 monsters are then set to release in November this year, rounding off a complete collection called 'Pokémon Fit' - a name fitting for their small size. For any fans of Pokémon Red and Blue, having a full set of every single Pokémon would no doubt be a dream come true, but buying 151 toys will unsurpsingly leave a pretty hefty dent in your bank account. Each toy costs 1,100 yen (approx. £7.50 / $9.90) meaning that a whole set would set you back £1,132 / $1,495 - ouch!
Would you want to have a complete collection? Are you able to resist the temptation to have every single one of the little cuties imported the moment they land on shelves? Let us know with a comment below.

I'll wait for the next wave so I can get MissingNo
I don't take all.
I want Vaporeon, Pikachu, Articuno, etc (Still Pending).
Why not have built in NFC (amiibo) chips? They're pretty cheap, what's an extra $2 per toy? Unless the 700+ Pokemon amiibo are still to come? I can just imagine the guys over at The Pokemon Company laughing bwah ha ha at that thought.
I wish the other Pokémon gens got more attention in terms of merchandise. Where's my Buizel plush?
@rjejr
Imagine if Generation 8 added, you have to buy More than 1,000 Pokemon Dolls if you are Pokemon Fanatic.
Tempting. Very tempting. I'm afraid my wallet is going to bite me for it though.
I'd probably try to get a Dragonite, Mew, and Ditto. But I am still waiting on that official Mareep plush.
Ka Chiiiiiinnng$$$$$
They're really all about Kanto this year, even more so than usual!
Maybe I'll be able to get my sister a Jynx plush after all.
She suffers from several disabilities, so I wasn't going to explain to her the idiotic sociopolitical circumstances (all thanks to a single person with their misdirected indignation) surrounding why a Jynx plush wasn't available. I can't remember what my excuse was, but she was disappointed that one of her favourite Pokémon (as well as mine) wasn't available in plush form.
I hope that I can import these. I'd love to grab Porygon as well (I've never been aware of the existence of Porygon plushes... ever). The Porygon line is quite possibly my favourite of all (I love the Vanilluxe line as well), so I would love to get Porygon2 and Z as well. I remember anticipating the seemingly inevitable "Porygon" episode of the anime as a kid (being completely unaware of the controversy back in the day) and wondering what was taking him so long to get his own episode.
It's stupid that Porygon was unjustly punished when Pikachu was the cause of the seizures.
@Kimyonaakuma yeah, I've noticed that, with both this and the remakes of yellow. Personally I find Kanto to be overrated.
@Silly_G Porygon is so underrated! I would love a plush of one. That and Farfetch'd are 2 of my favourites from gen 1.
Man all I want out of all of them is a Blastoise. Has always been my favorite Pokemon.
@Anti-Matter 1,000? I must be behind a generation. Or two. Or I forgot the shiny mega evolution dolls.
All I want is a life-sized stuffed shiny-mega Rayquaza.
@rjejr yes. It would be a pain to store but I want that
@rjejr : While there are now 807 Pokémon in total, there are also megas and alternate forms to account for, which would push the number of unique models to over 1000.
And speaking of life-size, I splurged on the giant Snorlax beanbag. I wish other Pokémon would get the treatment, but my poor wallet.
@rjejr All about that life-sized Wailord. Might need its own room(s).
Could balance a life-sized Skitty on its head.
@Balladeer : A life-size Wailord would need its own house.
Farfetch'd would be pretty cool to have not gonna lie.
@Silly_G
Life Size Pokemon ?
I want Sawk as Life Size doll which i can strip his Karate Gi to see his body.
Eh... Oopsie.
@Silly_G I live in London, I’m not sure most affordable houses would be large enough...
And you know there's multiple people out there who will "buy em all." Boy I wish I had that kind of cash to burn...
Definitely, want Raichu when it comes out, would love to get the rest of my red team I'd be happy at that.
@Balladeer : You ought to have a look at the median house prices in the murder capital of Sydney.
@Anti-Matter : It sounds like you want to play 18+ rated games with your Pokémon. Sawk ought to administer a double slap to one as naughty as you.
@Balladeer @Silly_G @AxeltheBuizel
Probably in about 30 years there will be a zoo in Japan filled with real alive life-sized genetically created Pokemon. Who knows, maybe they can give them their own island, Japan has islands to spare. They can get a replicant Jeff Goldblum to be the tour guide.
@Silly_G
Nooo...
I just want the Karate Gi from Sawk is Replaceable so i can dress him with my outfit if i want.
Oh, btw. Semi shirtless Judoka / Karateka is looks sexy to me.
@rjejr I know you likely didn't intend this, but now you are making me think of the movie Isle of Dogs but with Pokémon!
@rjejr ‘Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that...’
‘They did. They should.’
‘Fair enough, carry on.’
@AxeltheBuizel Yeah I was noticing that too. I don't think Kanto is the best region but it is more recognisable than the others. Nostalgia sells I guess
@Kimyonaakuma people grew up with it. I think a lot of the people who played gen 4 are teenagers now, who likely arent gonna be buying Pokémon stuff, even for nostalga
This is really cool to have! Expensive but if you have the money it is just awesome!
None for me but my youngest son loves all plush toys. I could see him seeing these on a shelf and wanting every single one.
I don't want to burst everyone's bubbles but they'll probably only make like 5 of each!!!!
If I were a millionaire, forget the mansion or fancy car. This is the sort of extravagance I'd indulge in!
Ampharos or no sale.
Nintendo milking that new Gen-1 audience they built over the last two years that will culminate with Let's Go this holiday season.
Would love to buy them.....would get Dragonite, Growlithe, the legendary birds, and Meowth....Jigglypuff and the three starters could get from Build A Bear.
@AxeltheBuizel Agreed. I love the original 151. But there are a ton of great Pokémon from other generations as well that seem to go largely ignored
If I get Omanyte and name him “Lord Helix”, will someone tell me it’s not the place to use that?
Neat! I just might get an Omanyte and a Ditto for my girlfriend. I guess a Venusaur and a Gengar for me, as well as some Bug-types (I would love all of them, in fact), or maybe some weird ones like Porygon, Exeggcute, Jynx, or Magneton. You know, the ones that probably never had any plushes, and maybe never will again.
Pokie Babies
@UmbreonsPapa I guess they just don't sell as well or are as recognizable as the originals. Most parents would know who Pikachu is, but aren't as likely to know what a Scolipede or Mightyena is, for example.
Yeap it's 1997 all over again except this time it's not for me
Ditto Starmie and Dragonite for me!
@Sam_Loser2 : If I ever go to Japan, I would want to take an empty luggage just to fill it with Pokémon Center merchandise. =P
This would be a pretty cool opportunity to get a plush of a less popular (at least for plushies) Pokemon.
I'd be kinda interested in a Starmie plush.
If this was extended to other gens I'd get a Cofagrigus plushie so fast...
I need Dragonite and Jolteon please.
I would get... all of them ( :
@AxeltheBuizel Isle of Dogs
Never heard of it, but just watched the trailer and now I want to.
Next up on Hoarders...
I must not spend more money. But I do eventually want all the dog-like pokemon. And the legendaries. And the starters.....
@rjejr you should watch it, it's really good!
Let me know when the Gen 2 'Mons show up.
...Though Dragonite is slightly tempting....
@Silly_G There's an unofficial Jynx on Amazon for roughly $32 after shipping, and same for Porygon. Good thing Nintendo finally wants money.
@CCore28 https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Japan.d89.Flight-Destinations
@HobbitGamer : I'm aware that unofficial ones exist, but I do not give them the time of day. They're hideous as well as being hideously overpriced. Plus, I'm not going to support bootleggers trying to make a quick buck on crappy quality wares.
Gotta catch 'em all...
@AxeltheBuizel I will when I can rent it somewhere, Redbox, Amazon, HBO, my library, seems like it's still too new though.
I want them all but i'm not rich or Otaku enough to import from Japan.
@rjejr yeah, it's pretty recent. Maybe wait a few months
Would be nice if they finally released an official Shuckle plush one day.
@Silly_G that’s what I meant; I’m glad Nintendo decided to actually create real 150s
@Silly_G It technically fits that Porygon doesn't have merchandise since it's the Virtual Pokemon. (Or maybe it should since it is man-made. Though maybe some others like Claydol and Shuppet should count in that too? And Gengar since it is now confirmed a dead human?)
I don't know if Sandslash is an oddity but Koffing and Electrode are among the not-cute ones I'd go for if I was into collecting lots of dolls. I think my Turtwig is enough for me.
The annual travelling funfair is coming to my town in september, I won't hold my breath but it would be awesome if I could come across some of those to win at funfair games, i'd be all over them.
They're looking good so far, so I'm glad the quality looks to be there.
Similar to amiibo, I wouldn't try to collect them all though, maybe just some fan favs if they ever make their way to the west
...I think they're obsessed with 1st gen at this point.
Is this going to be the first time an official Doduo plushie exists?
Whelp, my kid saw this. RIP my wallet.
