Build-a-Bear released a new Pokemon plush, and this time it is an online-exclusive Riolu. It is only available in a bundle, which costs $57. This also means you can only get it with all of its clothing and a sound chip stuffed into it.
When you buy this Riolu, you get the early version of Lucario with a five-in-one sound chip inserted. This makes cries from the character from the game when pressed. It also comes with a Pokemon Riolu Hoodie, which is white with a Poke Ball-themed stripe down the center. It sort of makes the outfit resemble a Premier Ball.
As this is an online exclusive, there are certain limitations in place. For example, the product page doesn’t mention being able to have it shipped unstuffed, so you can take it to a store to have it stuffed. However, you can opt to have it arrive either with or without wearing its hoodie. If you don’t have it wear the hoodie when it arrives, that top will be available separately in the box.
Here’s how the character looks:
We’ve been seeing new characters in the Pokemon line show up on a monthly basis lately. In September 2024, Build-a-Bear brought back Mimikyu ahead of Halloween. In October 2024, Cubone joined the collection for the first time. Now we have Riolu as the November 2024 release.
The Build-a-Bear Riolu Pokemon plush is now available on the official site.
