Price: ~$60.99 + shipping
Type: Plush
Species: Pikachu
Gen: 7
Origin: Build-A-Bear

Build-a-bear has released many species of Pokémon plush these days, but the first was Pikachu. At the the time there was 2 kinds of clothes and two kinds of voices, self made and preinstalled. I originally got three when they first came out, one in a Charizard suit, one in a Pokeball hoodie with the preinstalled voice, and another with my own voice and no outfit. I then was able to get a fourth as at a second hand shop, with no add ones. The plush itself is not all too different from Tomy’s style of making them. Very firm , it’s not too soft or plush.

Gen: ?
Origin: Candy Store
This is a newer variant of Pikachu PEZ Dispenser. Older models have the whole body, but this one only includes the head. PEZ has produced a limitless amount of figures for all kinds of pop culture icons. There are even other Pokemon variants like Psyduck and Charmander. The candy for this type does not have Pokemon shapes, but there are some that do.

Type: Plush
Species: Mimikyu
Gen: 7
Origin: Collector’s shop
This is a 8 inch Mimikyu plush. This Pokémon looks like Vaporeon, but it’s a completely different line of species. It’s actually a Ghost/Fairy type Pokemon. It usually dresses as a Pikachu since wants to become more popular. This is actually a keychain plush, and comes in a line of plushies with all of Vaporeon’s family (pictured).

I got this at a local shopping district I go to once a month. One of the shops sells American and Japanese Pokémon merchandise, including many different Mimikyu.
