The Pokemon Company announced that the popular Generation 1 Water/Ice-type Pokemon Lapras is getting a giant plush, and it’s available to pre-order right now for a limited time. The new Lapras plush could make for a great holiday gift for Pokemon fans later this year, as it’s expected to be released sometime in December 2024.
Lapras is one of the original 151 Pokemon in the series, making it a fan-favorite Pokemon for multiple generations. Although it can’t evolve into any other Pokemon, Lapras can use Gigantamax if it has a Gigantamax factor in Pokemon Sword and Shield. In the Alolan region, Lapras can be seen as a gentle and helpful contributor to Alolan society, with the Pokemon often helping fishers and travelers navigate the region’s waters. Lapras is present in all mainline Pokemon titles, and players may capture Lapras in the Pokemon GO mobile game as well.

What’s more, the Lapras plush is embroidered to emphasize the Pokemon’s prominent features, such as the large gray shell on its back.

Pokemon fans who pre-order the new Lapras plush can expect it to ship sometime in mid-December 2024. Standard shipping will take roughly five to nine days, depending on where the customer is located in the United States. Fortunately, users in the United Kingdom and Canada may still purchase a Lapras plush by shopping at the UK and Canada Pokemon Center online stores. The Pokemon Company is consistent with releasing its products in the aforementioned regions, with one of the most recent releases being the new Marill and Dragonite Squishmallow plushes.
Lapras’ popularity means that fans can expect more official merchandise from The Pokemon Company in the future, and the Pokemon will certainly return in future game entries. In addition, Lapras fans in the Pokemon community will likely continue to make custom designs and original concepts for the Pokemon. One recent example saw a Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player design a convergent form of Lapras with a unique aesthetic to call their own. The convergent form gives Lapras different abilities and traits compared to the original form from Generation 1.
