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

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.
