New Merch Roundup: Paldean TCG accessories, Pokémon skincare from Japan, Build-A-Bear’s new Mudkip, and a holiday freebie from the Pokémon Center

There is quite a variety of new Pokémon merchandise this week, ranging from practical Trading Card Game accessories and skincare to cozy plushes and holiday décor.

Long-term partner of The Pokémon Company International, Ultra PRO, has announced the Paldea First Partner accessory bundle, available online now only at Ultra PRO’s website. The bundle includes 65 protective card sleeves, a 24 inch by 13.5 inch playmat, a deck box which holds 80 or more cards, and a card storage box which holds up to 500 sleeved cards, all decorated with the Paldea starters Quaxly, Fuecoco, and Sprigatito. The set retails for $44.99 USD and ships internationally.


Fans in Japan can find new Pokémon merchandise from skincare brand SENKA, which announced Pokémon packaging for their line of Perfect Whip cleansers. The original Perfect Whip features Pikachu, the White Clay formula features Eevee, Sylveon appears on the collagen-infused Perfect Whip, and the medicated acne-care formula features Piplup. SENKA announced that the Pokémon packaging would appear nationwide at Japanese retailers beginning November 8th. Two-packs of each formula are available on Amazon Japan for between ¥1,146 ($7.59 USD) and ¥1,315 ($8.71 USD), and will begin shipping internationally on November 10th. A variety pack of all four Perfect Whip formulas with the Pokémon packaging is also available via Amazon Japan for ¥2,472 ($16.38 USD), and will begin shipping internationally on November 17th.

Another long-term Pokémon partner, Build-A-Bear Workshop, recently announced the latest addition to their Pokémon lineup. Mudkip is the very first Hoenn Pokémon to come to Build-A-Bear, available exclusively online as part of a bundle for $72 USD. The bundle includes the plush Mudkip, a sound chip featuring 5 Mudkip cries, and two outfits: a raincoat set and onesie pajamas. Unlike Build-A-Bear’s previous release Mimikyu, Mudkip is not currently available in-store, nor can it be purchased separately from the bundle.

To round out the new merchandise for this week, The Pokémon Center is offering a free holiday ornament with orders placed online, not including pre-orders or digital products, from now until November 23rd or until supplies last. There is no order minimum, and the simple brass ornament will be automatically included with the purchase of any product, though it would probably go nicely with this year’s holiday collection.
