Pikachu
Looks like we’ll need to save even more room for Poké-desserts (not that we mind, of course).
From advent calendars to Pika Ear Santa Hants and so-ugly-they’re-cute Christmas sweaters, there’s something for everyone.
A giant Pikachu beguiles us with its cute face and affordable price tag, but there’s one surprising hurdle to owning one.
Straight from Tokyo Game Show 2024, this cute product is set to become a hit with Pokémon fans.
