First revealed back in June, THQ Nordic and Nickelodeon have announced that Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, the remake of the much-loved GameCube-era platformer, is getting not one, but two special editions that include a whole load of physical Spongebob goodies. You might want to start saving now for its non-specific '2020' release date, though, because they won't come cheap - especially the F.U.N. Edition.

The first of the two bundles is the Shiny Edition. You can view it the trailer at the top of the page and it includes the following:

An 8"/20cm SpongeBob Figurine with Golden Spatula and flexible tongue
Wallstickers
6 Lithographs
SpongeBob SquarePants tennis socks
The Game itself

SRP: $149.99/€149.99/£139.99

Not bad - quality statuettes can cost you an arm and a leg. The pricier F.U.N. Edition, which you'll see in the trailer below, includes all that plus some extras:

An 8"/20cm SpongeBob Figurine with Golden Spatula and flexible tongue
A 7"/18cm Figurine of Patrick
The Sandy 8"/20cm Figurine
Wallstickers
A set of Tiki Keyrings
6 Lithographs
SpongeBob SquarePants tennis socks
The Game itself

SRP: $299.99/€299.99/£259.99

The statues and assorted goodies certainly look lovely, but then again the F.U.N. set costs roughly the same as a Switch! Still, die-hard Spongebob may well be tempted by these treasure troves. The pre-orders are up now, although the game has no fixed release date just yet.

If you missed the original announcement of the remake back in June, here's a summary of the salient points from the official blurb:

- Play as SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy and use their unique sets of skills
- Thwart Plankton's evil plan to rule Bikini Bottom with his army of wacky robots
- Meet countless characters from the beloved series
- Faithful remake of one of the best SpongeBob games ever created
- High-end visuals, modern resolutions and carefully polished gameplay
- Brand new horde mode multiplayer for up to two players, online and offline
- Restored content that was cut from the original game like the Robo Squidward boss fight and more
