ThePokemonBuild-a-Bear collectible line is gaining another starter Pokemon, withPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Sprigatito now getting the plushie treatment. The charmingPokemon Scarlet and Violetrecreation is likely to delight children as well as adults, and fans shouldn’t wait long to get one, asPokemonBuild-a-Bear releases tend to sell out.Pokemonand Build-a-Bear have a significant history at this point, with many of the game’s collectible creatures having been turned into adorable plush toys. While there are plenty of other options out there forPokemonplushies, Build-a-Bear toys are extremely popular due in part to their customizations and careful attention to detail in design. It’s typical forPokemonBuild-a-Bearreleases to have optional accessories that let players dress up their Pokemon should they wish, though in this particular case, it seems like one common feature is missing.RELATED:Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Players Have Limited Time to Redeem This New Mystery Gift CodeThePokemonSprigatito Build-a-Bear is available for purchase through the Build-a-Bear website as of this writing.Sprigatitois recreated with all of its usual adorable features, with bright pink eyes and leaf tufts peeking out from under its chin. The grass-type is available for purchase with a Sprigatito Sleeper and Sprigatito Cape that can be worn by the plush. The green and white sleeper is covered in a crosshatch Pokeball design, while the Cape offers a different design also featuring Pokeballs and leaves. The full bundle costs $55 USD when bought directly from the store, with a limit of five purchases per customer.
Interestingly, one particular feature that seems to be missing is theBuild-a-Bear sound chip. While optional, mostPokemonBuild-a-Bear releases have included an audio chip that lets them speak some of their iconic cries from the games or anime. When making the initial reveal to the public, Build-a-Bear had stated that Sprigatito would come with the sound chip option, but it’s since been removed. A new version without any mention of the chip was uploaded in its place, and an official statement from the Build-a-Bear Twitter indicates that the sound chip is “not currently available” with no further information to share.
Pokemonand Build-a-Bear have been releasing new plushes regularly since the collection began, with aGrowlithe Build-a-Bearhaving recently made its debut. With Sprigatito now out, it stands to reason that its fellowPokemon Scarlet and Violetstarters, Fuecoco and Quaxly, won’t be all too far behind. However, there are plenty of non-starter Pokemon that have been recreated by Build-a-Bear, so fans holding out for some older Pokemon or others from the newest games shouldn’t give up hope.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violetare available now for Nintendo Switch.
