Are life size Pokemon plushies too expensive? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! There have been life size Pokemon plushies for a few years now, but they always cost hundreds of dollars. Even though they are big plushies, they aren't that big, and they're almost all smaller than humans. A price increase for special plushies is expected, but not one this extreme. Charging hundreds of dollars for something like this is ridiculous, regardless of the quality. When these plushies were first released, fans expected them to be around one hundred dollars, give or take. But when the price was revealed, they were more than three times as much, sometimes more. This insanely high price tag does nothing but keep them away from fans, and it encourages them to buy the cheaper bootleg plushies so they don't have to pay for the name brand ones. There are life size Pokemon plushies out there that are much cheaper while still keeping the quality, which encourages fans to buy those ones instead. The Pokemon company may not care about keeping merchandise away from their fans, but eventually their fans will stop buying the expensive official merchandise in favor of the cheaper bootleg ones. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I wanted to talk about this because I genuinely believe the high price for these plushies is based solely on the brand alone, and not the actual manufacturing costs. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
