Loretta's Pokemon Toy Blog
Big news for Pokemon
toy enthusiasts today--Target EXCLUSIVE Jakks
packaged toys have been hitting the shelf this
week! The first two items I saw yesterday were
playsets including figures that have been
released in other forms either before or
recently (note that the latest wave of Jakks
figures, singles and 3-packs, hit my TRUs last
week; this was the wave that promised Dialga,
Palkia, etc.): Forest and Battle Arena. These 2
sets were in the price range around
$17.99-$19.99 I believe; they were new so I'm
not sure I caught a correct price... The Forest
set included an exclusive Gengar and there was a
Ponyta (or Rapidash?) and a Carnivine in that
set. The other, Battle Arena, included a Pikachu
and a Lucario among the 5 figures (both sets
have 5 figures). The boxes are very decorative,
with cardboard settings for the scene...
Now. Sorry about the sketchy details above. You see, the real focus of this day's trip was what I just spotted. *drum roll* TRAINER sets!!! $9.99. Not spotted on e-Bay *yet* (run, run, parents to the store NOW!)... Ash and Starly :D This is AWESOME. Ash looks GREAT. Since I'm not in the toy loop of any big company exec., I am not aware of the trainer packs in other formats--didn't I see something about them, tho'? Maybe someone remembers... It would seem logical to see Ash packaged with Pikachu or Dawn with Piplup... so... Maybe, just maybe, when Target shows these exclusives, perhaps we'll see other trainer sets elsewhere-? While Target was slow to get the TFG, they really revived my faith with these great offerings this week. One of the local stores also has been restocking the latest wave of the mini plush, too; so, I managed to score the lovable but annoying Woooooobuffet! ;) With all the offerings this year, will Santa have any room left in his bag? Will the Stantler need some extra berries to keep its health? (watch Pikachu's Christmas DVD, http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Pikachus-Winter-Vacation-Bonus/dp/B000JBXHBE/ref=sr_1_1/002-4814744-2567239?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1192818768&sr=1-1 to find out--hey, look, the Amazon pic shows a bonus Xmas music CD with this now!).Pi Pikachu! Bun Buneary!!! Loretta 10.19.07 - Late News Addendum: Random scans (Target 5-packs) - (outrageous pricing...):
