Pikachu and Gengar are coming
Kids love Pokémon, right? Kids also love Squishmallows too. If you don't know about Squishmallows, these are irresistible plush animal (or sometimes food and drink) toys that you can't stop squeezing. The company itself claims that they are "the softest, cutest, cuddliest plush around." Okay, we have to believe that.
So surely these two things are a match made in heaven? Yesterday on Twitter, Squishmallows and Pokémon playfully teased a collaboration and appearance at this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con.
And, just hours later, the folks over at Nintendo Wire managed to get a look at the brand new toys. So far, only Pikachu and Gengar have been announced, but the possibilities are making us a little dizzy!
Here's a good look at both of these cuddly fellows from Twitter user @FizzOpera.
The attention to detail is phenomenal on both soft toys, but we're in love with Gengar in particular! The spikes on its back are perfect, and the signature grin just makes this mischievous Ghost-type Pokémon look even cuter.
Attendees got a sneak preview before Comic-Con officially opens up later today, so for now, these are the only two Pokémon Squishmallows we know about. We'll make sure to update you if more information comes out about the toys!
What do you think of this collaboration? Which Pokémon would you like to see be made into a Squishmallows toy? Let us know!
RPG lover first and Nintendo fan second, Alana is often found overthinking battle strategies, characters, and stories. Fortunately, she’s also easily pleased by anything Yoshi-related, creepy-but-cute Pokémon, and SEGA air pirates.
Why is it called Squishmallows? They look more like eggs. And honestly, I think I prefer eggs.
My friend collects these things, so he told me about it early on, and I don't know what his source was, but he said that we'd get Snorlax and Togepi as well. I really hope that's true, because Snorlax is one of my favorite Pokémon, and will convince me to finally buy a squishmallow!
Why's everybody gotta make Pika such a fatty..
Uh oh...I think I might actually die from this happening... I've already got five Squishmallows!
SO CUTE! But hoping for something like Togepi, because I'm not sure I'd invest cash in either of these Pokemon.
The Hello Kitty/Sanrio ones were wickedly adorable and I bought some for my sister and cousins.
But now I have no excuses for buying these as those who I would normally buy this sort of thing for already have one (or two).
And however overrated Pikachu is, those two Squishmallows are stupidly cute.
These things are adorable. Definitely blow those ugly funko pops out of the water, imho.
Might have to get that Pikachu for my wife 😂
@HotGoomba because they’re squishy like a marshmallow! : )
Need a Mudkip one stat!
If we can eventually get one of every starter in squish form, I'll be over the moon. These initial ones look fantastic though, especially Pikachu with his little nubbin arms (though Gengar is a out of left field choice that I'm all about).
These Squishmallows are so cute. I haven’t bought them myself but they make for great gifts and excellent pillows.
I hope they make a Jigglypuff down the line!
I actually have a growing collection of Squishmallows. Being a massive Pokémon fan as well, these are a no brainer for me! I NEED THEM
This is the best news I've heard in my life. I WANT GENGAR
