The Wow Stuff First Edition Pikachu Puppetronic by RealFX toy launched on the UK Pokemon Center storefront and immediately sold out. The £89.99 pre-orders only opened in that region at the moment and are expected to ship in Spring 2026 there. The North American and Japanese storefronts are not showing listings at the moment. Note that this only applies to just one version of the item, as a wider release is planned.
All versions of the Pikachu Puppetronic by RealFX toy will behave the same way, regardless of the edition. Touching its head, nose, and stomach can cause different reactions, with the character able to make noises, move its ears, blink its eyes, open and close its mouth, and light up the red cheeks. The product page noted “more than 120 sounds and actions.” There’s also a trailer showing its behavior, though the one on The Official Pokemon YouTube channel is region-locked.
The only difference between the First Edition version of the toy from the Pokemon Center and ones that will appear after involves altered additions that show it was one of the first to market. The box will have a “First Edition” badge on it to show it was purchased via The Pokemon Center. Inside the box is a certificate of authenticity. However, the certificate doesn’t mention a number to show how many of this release were produced and which “one” you got.
This Pikachu toy did show up at the 2026 Toy Fair in New York City, so there is other footage of it online in case you can’t see the region-locked trailer. For example, the KirbyGCN17 YouTube Short before showed someone demonstrating it at the event.
The Pikachu Puppetronic by RealFX toy will release in 2026, with the Pokemon Center UK First Edition one releasing in Spring 2026. We might learn more about the worldwide release during the Pokemon Day Pokemon Presents on February 27, 2026.
