Just in time for Pokemon Sword and Shield’s release, fans can choose their own starter thanks to SAN-EI. The company is releasing a line of lifesized plush dolls of the three Galar region starters: Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. While normally this would be one of those Japanese exclusive items but thanks to siteSunnyshore PokeMart, you have access to your very own adorable PokeDoll(s):
Sunnyshore Pokemart is currently accepting pre-orders for the plushies at $66 each and will begin shipping out orders right after the merchandises’ release this November.
