These Die-cast Poké Ball Replicas Will Be Available Later This Year
You can now own your own Poké Ball! Or at least a replica version of one. Unfortunately, we have yet to master real Poké Ball technology. Hopefully, someday in the future, that will change.
Until that day, we will have to live with what The Pokémon Company International and The Wand Company have done. They have teamed up to create some gorgeous-looking Die-Cast Poké Ball Replicas.
Those in the US and UK can now pre-order one of the gorgeous Poké Balls. Later this year, those interested can purchase the Friend Ball, Quick Ball, and Cherish Ball.
Cindy Ruppenthal, senior director of e-commerce at The Pokémon Company International, had this to say:
“The incredible response to The Wand Company’s first series of stunning Poké Ball replicas inspired us to release another premium range, featuring iconic Poké Balls that have appeared throughout the Pokémon franchise. As Trainers of all ages have a huge passion for collecting, we look forward to delivering new Poké Ball replicas as a one-month exclusive on Pokémon Center.”
I must say, I am quite a fan of this lineup. I really enjoy the look of them, but they are rather expensive at £99.99. Not out of this world expensive as far as gaming collector items go, but still pricey. I really wish more gaming collector items were just a little more affordable.
I’m a bit of a sucker for gaming collectibles, even with the price. Show me something that looks neat, and I can sit on a shelf, and I’m going to have to fight hard not to buy it.
What do you think of this lineup? Are you interested in picking any of these up? Do you feel they are fairly priced? Let us know in the comments below!
