Uniqlo custom Pokopia t-shirts, Ditto As Snorlax plush, and Pikachu Puma sneakers
Lots of new merchandise has been released in the lead up to the Pokémon franchise’s 30th anniversary, and this week saw even more announcements and debuts of Pokémon-themed goods. Frequent Pokémon partner Uniqlo is offering customizable Pokopia t-shirts at their locations in Japan, while Puma, another continuing collaborator, has announced their new Pikachu sneakers. Plus, Pokémon Centers worldwide have added plenty of plushes of Ditto posing as other Pokémon, available online now.

Uniqlo, who has already debuted their 30th anniversary collection, is now showing off their Pokopia-themed items. This line is part of their UTme! custom print service, where customers can choose from a selection of designs and apply them to t-shirts, tote bags, or sweatshirts. Their new Pokopia designs are available now and feature scenes and characters from the game, including the Ditto player character, Peakychu, and Mosslax, among others. Customizing and printing is done on-site at select locations in Japan, and price varies by item. Find the full list of participating locations here.

For customers worldwide, athletic brand Puma is launching another Pokémon sneaker to add to their list. The new sneaker is inspired by Pikachu, complete with its red “cheeks” and brown “tail,” and will retail for $140 USD. The Pokémon x PUMA All-Pro Nitro 2 “Pikachu” is set to launch on April 1st at Puma stores and websites (including those serving the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand). While Puma currently has a line of athletic wear available at some Pokémon Centers, their previous sneakers have sold out quickly and are often upcharged on resale websites like eBay.

Finally, Pokémon Centers serving the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Germany have debuted plenty of new plushes to their “Ditto As” line, which, as the name suggests, features Ditto disguised as other Pokémon, keeping its signature simple face. There are 44 new Ditto plushes, posed as expected favorites like Eevee and its evolutions, Pikachu, Snorlax, and the Kanto first partner Pokémon. However, there are lots of unconventional picks for this drop as well, with Ditto posed as less-seen Pokémon like Morelull, Poipole, Trubbish, and Furret. All the plushes come in between 5 and 9 inches tall (12.7 cm to 22.86 cm), and retail for $19.99 USD / £16.99 / $26.99 CAN / $36.99 AUD / $39.99 NZD.
