You might consider yourself to be a really serious Pokémon fan because you own all of the games, as well as a few plush toys and a (totally unironic) Ash Ketchum cap, but if you're truly dedicated to the brand then you'll have to up your game to the tune of $25,000 because The Pokémon Company has teamed up with the French crystal manufacturer Baccarat to present a trio of special collectable items to mark the 25th anniversary of the monster-catching series.
At the lower end of the scale, there's a 5.7 inch Pikachu figure for $440, as well as a crystal Poké Ball which is 2.7 inches tall and will set you back a cool $410.
However, the centrepiece of the collection is the 11.8 inch-tall “Pikachu Fragment”, designed by Hiroshi Fujiwara. Only 25 of these will be made, and it costs a whopping $25,000. Sheesh.
Let us know if you're even remotely considering spending cash on any of these items by posting a comment below.

Absolutely, who doesn't?
Still cheaper than a few Pokemon cards being sold.
A perfect example of money not being able to buy taste.
Is it heavy enough to knock a burglar unconscious with? If I was willing to waste $25k on this I would probably have more useless expensive nonsense worth stealing.
Lol no thanks
I don’t hate the PokèBall but I don’t have that kind of money. If I did I think it’s kind of a classy looking nerd piece though.
Same energy as that Disney junk they sell at Swarovski.
A small price to pay for salvation
Hmm...let me just ask my walle-SMACK!
Ow! Erm...yeah...that's a nope here.
I do like the 5 inch Pokeball
When I said I wanted a Pokemon Crystal remake, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
@GrailUK Yours just smacks you? Mine clamps down on my fingers and angrily chews on them until I change my mind.
Give a large price tag and a limited supply, and people will flock to it thinking they will own the rarest piece of pokemon history.
Which might be true, but good luck keeping that clean of fingerprints and scratches all those years
I imagine they are only making 25 of them because they could only find 25 people willing to buy it.
@Tyranexx !!! Wallets are cruel masters indeed

Honestly... sounds like a solid investment. Looks absolutely gorgeous. I imagine a poker player or James Bond villain using one as a totem.
That Pikachu may be diamond, but some of the comments in this thread are comedy gold. XD
Added to cart
@TheBigK How many?
Rich people stuff.
@Damo Slight typo on the height! According to the website, the priciest Pika is 11.8 inches, not 1.8!
Everybody: LOL, what kind of rube would buy this worthless junk!
Also everybody: I really love my girlfriend and we want to form a lifelong commitment, but how will I convince her I'm serious if I don't spend my next three paychecks on an inherently worthless polished lump of compressed coal?
A crystal skull pikachu.. sounds tacky
@Maxz Thanks! Fixed!
@JasmineDragon I just got her coal of the uncompressed variety and she seemed happy enough with that.
“It burns like my love for you: hot, noxious, and capable of destroying the earth”
I’m nothing if not romantic.
It looks really nice but I DEFINITELY don’t have $25,000 to buy it lol
@GrailUK Cruel AND strict!
@Kyloctopus Of the three, the Pokeball looks best to me too.
I’m just imagining some 10 year old royal getting one of these as a just because present.
These look so tacky..
I like it, I could never afford it and probably wouldn't buy it if I could. But it's fun!
I would buy it if I had many millions. But I dont
god the pokeball looks nice
Millionaires stocking fillers!
Only 25 being made??? I was planning on buying at least a few hundred. Lame.
