Build-a-Bear Munchlax Pokemon Plush Debuts

Build-a-Bear launched its latest Pokemon plush, and it is the Snorlax baby form Munchlax. It costs $66 in the US storefront and £52 in the UK one for the special bundle online, though it is possible people will eventually be able to find the plush alone in-stores for $34/£26 like other entries in this line.

As Munchlax is a baby Pokemon, elements in the Build-a-Bear online exclusive bundle are a nod to that. To start, you get the stuffed animal in the bundle. It is apparently 13 inches tall. It comes with a five-on-one sound chip, which is only available with this online bundle. You also get a bib and a Tamato Berry it can hold. (That two-pack would apparently be a $10.50/£9 value.) Things are rounded out with a Heavy Ball hoodie for the character to wear. (That is assigned a $13.50/£11 value.) This has a design reminiscent of the Poke Ball of the same name, which is designed to be better at catching heavier Pokemon.

Here’s a closer look at the plush and its items. 

Snorlax is already a part of Build-a-Bear’s Pokemon collection. It debuted on the site back in August 2019. It’s an extra-large one, so it doesn’t fit standard clothing and is more expensive. It’s returned from time to time since its launch, though it isn’t in the US or UK storefront at the moment.

Munchlax is now available via Build-a-Bear.
