The Squishmallow Pikachu and Gengar plush toys sold out immediately when they were released in November, and The Pok\u00e9mon Company and Squishmallow maker Jazwares promised that more would be coming in the spring.<\/p>\n
However, Pok\u00e9mon and Squishmallow fans recently spotted Pikachu and Gengar on sale in bins at Walmart, but they vanished as quickly (and quietly) as they were put out. A Jazwares representative told Polygon that the plush toys were put out too early at some stores. The full, actual release is scheduled for \u201croughly\u201d February \u2014 a bit before the spring forecast.<\/p>\n
Some people were successfully able to purchase the popular plush toys at Walmart, but that’s since changed: Some that found the Squishmallows in store were denied the sale at the register, where the toys came up in the system as recalled. Multiple people on Reddit have reported this over the past few days.<\/p>\n
The Squishmallows are not actually being recalled for any safety or health issue; the move is likely intended to keep stores from selling them.<\/p>\n
\u201cSquishmallows x Pok\u00e9mon are not being recalled, they simply set a bit too early,\u201d the Jazwares representative said. \u201cFans can expect to see them roll out soon for purchase. This happens sometimes \u2014 stock goes out on the floor a bit early and systems have not yet caught up.\u201d<\/p>\n
So, Squishmallow hunters: You’ve got a short wait before they’ll reappear on shelves again.<\/p>\n
The first batch of Pok\u00e9mon Squishmallows were limited edition, specific for The Pok\u00e9mon Center website. The next wave will be slightly different \u2014 they’ll come in different sizes, and won’t have the Pok\u00e9mon Center badge. Squishmallows can come in a bunch of different sizes, as small as a 3.5-inch clip-on keychain and as large as a 24-inch plush. Jazwares and The Pok\u00e9mon Company intend to make more Pok\u00e9mon plush toys, too, beyond just Gengar and Pikachu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
