New Pokémon Bandai S.H. Figuarts Action Figures!
"I wanna be the very best/ Like no one ever was/ To catch them is my real test/ To train them is my cause"
That theme song makes me warm and tingly inside every time I hear it, like hot chocolate and Babes in Toyland (1934) on Christmas morning.
The Pokémon action figures I've been waiting for my whole life will be arriving some time in July 2017. They are Ash Ketchum and Team Rocket! I hope these do well enough, so we can get Brock and Misty to join the line.
Ash Ketchum stands a little over 5 inches and will retail around $54.99.
Included with the Ash action figure :
-Pikachu
-Ash Ketchum optional expression part
-Optional head part without cap
-Optional right hand part
-Poke Ball holding right hand part
-Pikachu shoulder riding part
S.H. Figuarts are highly articulated action figures. Ash will most likely have about 30 points of articulation. This Pikachu is an accessory so it seems to have one point of articulation. But if you want an articulated Pikachu, S.H. Figuarts already released one a few months ago. You can check that one out here.
Team Rocket's Jessie and James both will stand just under 6" and will retail around $109.99.
