Fans of Lilligant are in luck, as Pokemon has unveiled a massive plush of the pocket monster. However, the base price of the Pokemon plush isn’t cheap, and for much of the world, getting ahold of it could be tough.
There have likely been thousands of kinds of Pokemon plushes released over the years since the series took off, but the majority of them have been smaller than the Pokemon they represent. In recent years, though, Pokemon has gradually been rolling out life-size plush versions of popular Pokemon. Spheal, Porygon, and life-size Eevee evolutions have been on the roster, to name a few, and now Lilligant is getting one that’s even bigger than the Pokemon in-game.

Lilligant Jumbo Plush Revealed
A new life-sized Lilligant has been revealed, which will open for pre-orders on June 19 at Pokemon Center China. The Pokemon is releasing as part of the Fragrant Garden line of Pokemon collectibles, and stands at 120 centimeters tall, or just under 4 feet. The Pokemon is listed as having a height of 110 centimeters in-game, so the plush is actually bigger than what fans may be accustomed to. Curiously, it’s the same height as the Hisuian Form of Lilligant, despite being its standard form. The plush can be posed, complete with a tilting head, so buyers can set it up however they like. However, it won’t come cheap, as the Pokemon has a retail price of $370 USD.

While the price may be stunning to some Pokemon fans, it’s similar to the prices on other life-sized and jumbo Pokemon plushes. The aforementioned life-sized Porygon was about $391 at release, while Spheal was a whopping $450. To put it in perspective, a 59″ Snorlax plush that was released a few years back, while not life-size, cost a stunning $700. Generally speaking, the bigger the plush, the higher the price. The price for the big Lilligant plush may get even worse for those outside of China, as there are currently no plans to release it elsewhere, so fans would have to import it from a third-party seller. Given the size, it’s likely very heavy, so just shipping it will probably tack on quite a bit of cost.
Still, these products wouldn’t continue to be made unless there was an audience for them. It may be hard for fans to resist buying a jumbo plush of their absolute favorite Pokemon, even if they’re expensive. In some cases, plushes that were only released in one region have eventually made their way to the west, such as the jumbo Spheal plush, which was originally only available in Japan. Those who are hesitant to invest in the Pokemon with all the added cost of importing and shipping might want to wait and see if it shows up at other Pokemon Centers later on.

Though there’s a lot of fun that can be had in a single Pokemon game for a generally affordable price, some merchandise can be eye-wateringly expensive. For example, a recently-released Pokemon LEGO set that features Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise is $650, while a Tiffany & Co. Pikachu necklace that released a few years back cost $29,000. These prices are notably the MSRP for the items, and resold collectibles can get even steeper, going as high as $16 million for a Pokemon card once owned by Logan Paul.
