Last year, Pokémon Center and The Wand Co. teamed up to launch replicas of Poké Balls. Now, the two companies are launching a miniature version of the classic red-and-white Poké Ball.
The new Mini Poké Ball Replicas feature the same construction as the full-size Poké Ball replicas, complete with touch and proximity sensing technology. The Mini Poké Ball Replicas will also come with a touch-controlled display stand with an illuminated Pokémon logo and a display ring. Each Mini Poké Ball Replica will also come with a collectible token featuring a different Pokémon silhouette.
“The Poké Ball is an iconic part of the Pokémon brand, and these replicas created in collaboration with The Wand Co. have become a staple collectible for many Trainers around the world,” says Amy Sachtleben, Senior Director of Licensing and Promotions at The Pokémon Co. International. “With the new Mini Poké Ball Replicas, fans can look forward to the same high quality and vivid detail they admire in the full-size replicas, but now exquisitely miniaturized to add a whole new dimension to their growing Pokémon collections.”
The Mini Poké Ball Replica will launch next month with the Mini Great Ball, Mini Ultra Ball, Mini Cherish Ball, and Mini Premier Ball releasing throughout the year. The two companies are also continuing to release full-size Poké Ball replicas, including the Beast Ball Replica coming in October and more next year.
