The Pokémon Company International is set to launch a new set of collectable Poké Ball merchandise next year.
Called the 'Die-Cast Poké Ball Replica Series', the range will include "premium replicas" of the iconic Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Premier Ball. They're being made in partnership with The Wand Company and will launch throughout 2021.
The Poké Ball is available to pre-order as we speak and will launch on next year's Pokémon Day, 27th February. It's a pretty pricey little beast, coming in at a spicy £99.99 (other retailers available here), but if you order from Zavvi, you'll also get a free t-shirt thrown in.

Here's the free t-shirt you can claim from Zavvi when you order the Poké Ball:
"Equipped with proximity-sensing technology, the Die-Cast Replica’s button glows when it senses motion; pressing the button changes the light color or starts a Pokémon-catching illumination sequence. Ideal for collectors, each replica comes with a presentation case—authenticated by a uniquely-numbered hologram—and a polished stainless steel ring that provide multiple ways to properly protect and display the product. Fans will also enjoy multi-colored lights when opening the lid of the case, which can be controlled through a touch-sensitive metal plaque on the front of the case."
- Quality materials: Display-grade replica with a finely detailed metal shell and a deeply coloured, high-gloss lacquer finish
- Engaging: Beautifully brought to life with touch and proximity sensing
- Immersive: Brightly glowing button and animated, multicolour case illumination
- Display grade: Opening the presentation case lifts the Poké Ball for display
- Seriously collectible: The first of a range of premium collectible Poké Balls, each one uniquely numbered and officially licensed by The Pokémon Company International
- Hidden accessory: Highly polished stainless steel display ring
In addition to the four designs mentioned above, another "special" Poké Ball replica will also arrive exclusively at the Pokémon Center in the US and Canada later down the line. Intriguing...
It sure does look lovely, but that's quite the price tag. Let us know if you're planning on treating yourself to one of these with a comment below.

Maybe the premier ball
Oh that is a sexy ball if I've ever seen one
You're basically baying for a painted piece of metal and shiny presentation box.
... I'll take two.
A little pricey beast? Are you kidding me?
They are selling it at 99.99 when Poké Balls are sold for 200 at any Pkmn Center or Pkmn Mart. That's a steal!
Replica, gonna see if I can catch any animals and be the very best like no one ever was
There’s a Canadian Pokémon center??
OMG I know it's pricey but I'm so needing two or three of those.
Looks so good, and I'm so buying it.
For that price, I expected a Poké Ball that you could actually open up with a lavishly detailed interior.
But they don't appear to open at all.
@RupeeClock they probably would've charged another $50-$100 for that.
Pokeballs for $100 ?! 🤪
I have two cheap Pokeballs for $7 each standing in my book shelf with Happy Meal toys of Reshiram and Zekrom. 😛
@Chunkboi79 I've seen sexier
If I buy 10 do I get a free Premier ball?
My assumption is the other Pokéball heading to the Pokémon Center is a Master Ball replica.
Anyways, I'd consider these if they were a bit cheaper. But for the price and for my valuable space, I would want these to do a bit more
balls to that
A Beast Ball replica would be epic.
@BakaKnight got to wonder what is the exchange rate for pokedollars (or whatever they call their currency)
they are only worth the the $100.00 if they can actually catch Pokemon....lol
I say this as someone who has spent too much money on lovely but pointless clutter like the Robobot Kirby Nendoroid and the Deluxe Splatoon Figma sets.... it seems over priced.
Like it sounds lovely and I want one. But it seems like the box is where all the fancy stuff is and where my money is going. I’d trade those multi-coloured touch-pad activated lights for being able to open it up and see a nice replica of inside a Pokéball.
Get a pokeball plus controller. Then you can actually use it and it’s cheaper!
While it looks nice it’s not worth the price.
The Bandai Shokugan Special collection set of Poke Balls look much nicer and are a fraction of the cost if you buy them seperately.

$100 for a mere replica?
You mean I can't even catch a Pokémon with these bloody things?
What a rip-off.
Love this but I prefer the reflective darker red of the burger king version.
@BakaKnight
But Pokedollar used to be compared to Yen.
So 200 Yen are about 1 Dollar
...But does it work? Can I throw this at Sanya and have her transported inside?
@Azuris A lot closer to $2.
people keep saying "poke-dollar" but it's more like "poke-yen".
P200 is in the neighborhood of $2.
$2 for a bottle of mineral water from a vending machine is somewhat normal.
