Pikachu is coming to BABW! He's BACK!

[ZennaBug]

Pikachu is my favorite Pokemon, so I flipped when I saw this.  I keep checking for release dates or photos, but nothing yet.  The closest BABW to us is in Indianapolis, which is about an hour drive, but I made Mr. Zenna promise to go with me to make one.    I'm more excited about the hoodie and pokemon card than the costume anyway, plus I like to stuff my own.

All I know is I wish it came out before Christmas since I would so get it for my sister.

Maybe get her a gift voucher for it, and put it in an envelope with the Pikachu announcement? Then you're technically getting it for her for christmas

That's a cute idea!

Pre-orders are up! No release date yet.

It's not as cute as the Japanese plush, but I'm totally getting one anyway.  I get paid Friday, so I will probably preorder her this weekend, just to make sure that I get one.  The internet package has more cool things, but I would miss out on the fun of stuffing mine myself!

Got Pikachu today! Totally caught by surprise, I spotted him in store when I was at the mall doing some shopping. Super cute! I opted out of the accessories though, The ones I want are online exclusive. *Cuddles super soft pika-pal*

I just got an email that he was out.

Looks like I'll be going to BABW tomorrow with Kenai.

So ... if the pre-orders for Pikachu have ended, does that mean we missed out on receiving the online-only Charizard hoodie?

[sailorstitch]

I don't know..... I just went to look at him myself. All I could find was the page about preorders being over. I hope I can get him in store without doing the preorder thing.

He's in stores in Australia, only with the Pokeball hoodie. I asked after the Charizard one but they hadn't got any. On the plus side, he is INSANELY silky furred, round, squishy and huggable! I put a honey scent in mine and he's just irresistible. Regular BAB hoodies and shoes fit fine, other shirts and jackets are rather tight on him (especially a button-up letterman jacket that I have). Pants don't fit at all because he doesn't have a defined waist or thighs. It's very fun to put different clothes and accessories on like Cosplay Pikachu from ORAS.

This is how I dressed mine.

Sorry if this thread already exists (I couldn't find one), but as the title said - I wonder if anyone knows anything about the BaB Pikachu plushie that's supposed to come out during 2016?
I'm having a hard time finding information about it, and I sorely want one.

Any help is appreciated!
(UK info will do just fine, I don't think there's a BaB yet in sweden, but I'll be going to the UK  more frequently from now on).
