It’s not the biggest Pikachu plush ever made, but it is big! At 26 inches, or just over two feet, The Pokémon Company’s new big Pikachu plush is available for pre-order on The Pokémon Center website. The $199.99 plush toy is expected to ship in September 2024, according to the product page.
“This jumbo-sized Pikachu is big enough to battle, but soft enough to hug,” according to The Pokémon Company. “You can show off your Pokémon pride with one of our largest Poké Plush ever. Embroidered details and soft fabric help bring Pikachu to life in a huge way!”
Pikachu is 26 3⁄4 inches tall and 24 1⁄2 inches wide. It doesn’t size up quite as large as the older, $249.99 Pikachu plush that was over three feet tall. To compare this new Pikachu to another massive Pokémon plush, it’s a little smaller than the life-sized Psyduck, and drastically smaller than the gigantic Wailord. It is, however, bigger than the line of sleeping Eevee evolutions (which are sold out, unfortunately) that clock in at 16 inches a piece. Pikachu’s Pokédex entry lists its height at just over a foot, so the new plush is still bigger than average. It’s the biggest Pokémon plushie you can buy from The Pokémon Center at the time of writing. So, if you’re looking for jumbo, this is it.
A cheaper option that’s nearly just as huggable is the 14-inch Pikachu Squishmallow that costs under $50 It’s smaller than the 20-inch version that I have, but not by much. But if cost is no limit, I’d rather have a 16-inch fat Pikachu plush — we love a round king.

Three weeks on from its release, the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth train rolls on. That'll happen with a game that has so much to do alongside an already compelling story. Reviews and reactions to Rebirth have shown it's hard to pick holes in the early Game of the Year contender as almost every aspect of the sequel has been celebrated. That includes Rebirth's soundtrack, and if you were hoping to pick up a Collector's Edition of the OST, Amazon has provided a second chance.
If you want to play Rock Band 4 on consoles, it hasn’t been easy or affordable to pick up a new guitar controller. It’s common to find second-hand (ew) guitar controllers selling for $500 or so. That’s changing, thankfully, with the launch of PDP’s Riffmaster. It’s a $129.99 wireless guitar controller that’s coming to shelves in April for both PlayStation and Xbox consoles (either guitar is compatible with PC, to boot, and ships with a USB-A wireless transceiver). Its design accommodates right- and left-handed players.
Amiibo collectors are in limbo right now as the future of Nintendo's interactive figures hasn't been revealed. Sora's Smash Ultimate amiibo was released last month and it seems likely that will be the last one we get during the Switch era. Not only because Nintendo seems set to announce its next console any day now, but also because it has been reprinting various older amiibo, giving collectors a second chance to grab them.
A Figma of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Link is now available for pre-order. Link has been featured in the Japanese line of action figures in the past, with a Figma of him from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword being released in 2022.

It's time to saddle up, partner, because Magic: The Gathering is headed to the Wild West with its latest set, Outlaws of Thunder Junction, launching on April 19. This set draws inspiration from the romantic ideals of the American Wild West, chock full of gunslingers, masked bandits, and vigilante justice. As its name suggests, the theme of Outlaws of Thunder Junction centers around a group of villains planning a heist, using a clever mash-up of Western tropes and arcane magic.
