Premium Bandai, a Japanese toy brand, has unveiled its newest Pokémon-themed item to be a life-sized Garchomp plush toy. The Mach Pokémon, Garchomp, is depicted sleeping. Since Garchomp is one of the biggest and most well-known Dragon-type Pokémon, it is perfect to be lounged on, cuddled at night, or even as a display piece. This Pokémon is perfect for anyone who is a fan of Garchomp’s claws, wings, and fangs.
The dark blue land shark is seen extending its arms out while dozing off, bringing the plushie to 160 cm long in total, measuring from the top of its head to the bottom of its tail. The quoted price is 57,200 yen, which is approximately $390 USD.
At the time of writing, the Garchomp plush is still unavailable for pre-order. However, the website does provide an expected shipping date of February 2023.
