We're just under two months away from the launch of Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, and if you consider yourself to be a superfan of the show - and perhaps, only if you consider yourself that - you might want to check out this particularly pricey limited edition.
The F.U.N. Edition, which was first revealed towards the end of last year alongside a (slightly) cheaper 'Shiny Edition', will release on the same day as the game itself, 23rd June. It costs an eye-watering $299.99 / €299.99 / £259.99, but does come with all of the following:
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
You can get a closer look at it in the video at the top of this article - that flexible tongue certainly is something, isn't it?
If you want to add one of Switch's most expensive limited edition games to your collection, pre-orders are available. You can grab it - or the Shiny Edition - below, assuming you're not too fussed about your mortgage, hobbies, or food.

I pity the fool.
I love SpongeBob, but I don't think too many people have the money for a collectors edition like that
Bit of a waste of money I rather just get the game it self
Not gonna lie those figurines look pretty dope.
..when are we gonna get a Yoshi figurine with flexible tongue though?
That's some fun looking collectables. Hmm....
you had me at flexible spongebob tongue. to bad there’s no US affiliate links.
I would be lying if I said I didn't want it. I would also be lying if I said I would actually buy it
I love SpongeBob but I think just the base game will do for me. Also waiting on reviews as licensed games generally aren't that great.
Looking forward to the remake, and the contents of these collectors editions appear quality; the fact they produced these (and the remake being created in general) is proof that the developers understand the fondness and appreciation fans have for what is often initially perceived to be another mediocre licensed game. But I’m passing on these. The items included aren’t necessary for me. If THQ Nordic asked me to buy one of them, I’d run off after saying (in the words of the sponge) : “I think I have fudge in my pants...”.
Stop ripping off your fans you evil gits.
"Fancy splurging $300 on a SpongeBob game?"
No.
end credits
I want it but $300 is a lot to spend on one game.
Those statues do look nice though.
Hmmm if I sell one of my Switches then mabey.....
The first thing I ask when I see this is "why" followed by "where would I put that?"
I think I learned by lesson a long time ago when it comes to these special editions, there's only so much space for this type of thing.
I've already pre ordered BFBBR for £30 then the day after I got an email saying the game is now £25 so I ended up paying £5 more
Spongebob battle for bikini bottom has very unique designs for the robot enemies I think they should of included them in the figures to represent the identity of battle for bikini bottom more. Otherwise this looks like any kind of sponge bob toy
This has been known for a loooooong time guys
Honestly the stuff included looks really cool, I would consider picking up one of the collectors editions for the right price. Fingers crossed these get a dramatic price cut down the line lol
This is complete insanity, probably just like SpongeBob would want it.
I’m a fan of collector/special/limited edition games but why have a lot of companies gone the route of statues?? It just drastically drives up the price and makes my living space seem cluttered
Give it a bit of time. It will go down in price.
A lot of CE's go down in price after a few months of not selling.
I buy A LOT of CE's, and this is a common method for less wanted CE's of games
$300 seems a bit much unless those are massive statues. Maybe they hope to get Johnny's first college job money buying everything he couldn't have as a kid.
Yeeaaah... Nope. I'm good.
Love SpongeBob but not that much! I’ll stick with the regular edition for 30 beans thank you very much! With the money I save I’ll grab the regular edition for PS4 also!
AU$500 here. -.-
$500!!
I’m not someone who loves this game, I’ve never played it. I’ll pick up a copy, I’m sure, but I’m not splurging on this edition... though the socks do interest me... for some reason...
I feel like the target audience here is the hardcore Sponeborg fan who REALLY wants those figures... and will take the game as an added bonus, rather than the other way around.
Just wondering whether this CE will quickly be 75% off. Are there still big SpongeBob fans?
I think I will stick with just the game for roughly 30 EUR. Also still have the original Bikini Bottom on GameCube, though never played it. Heard it's great!
Both versions ordered.
Imagine paying that much just to find out it's also 299.99 cad in Canada...which is about $220 usd...🤣
