Pokemon China has unveiled a collectible figure set tied to the 30th Celebration expansion, and it pairs miniature Pikachu statues with matching holographic cards. Here’s what we know so far.
Artistic Touch: 30th Anniversary Pikachu Figure Set
According to early reports, the product is called the “Artistic Touch: 30th Anniversary Pikachu Figure Set” and is scheduled to release on 16 September at a price of 88 yuan (roughly $13 / £10). Each box contains one of 13 Pikachu figures, with each figure recreating the artwork from a different Pikachu card found in the 30th Celebration set. Only eight of the thirteen figures have been shown so far.
Every box also includes the corresponding holographic card for whichever figure you pull, a display stand with a built-in card holder, and one 30th Celebration booster pack. It’s a neat little self-contained collectible, giving you the figure, the card, and the display solution all in one purchase.
The thirteenth figure in the lineup is a secret rare, and it hasn’t been revealed yet. With a stated inclusion rate of just 1-in-143, hunting for it will not be cheap. That kind of pull rate puts it firmly in chase territory, so expect the secret figure to command a premium on the secondary market if the set gains traction outside China.
For fans of Pikachu artwork across the decades, this is an appealing crossover between the TCG and figure collecting. Whether it sees wider international availability remains to be seen, but it’s one to keep an eye on.
