Pikachu Heads to Build-A-Bear

Set to debut in early 2016, the Pikachu plush will come with a Build-A-Bear Workshop-branded Pokémon TCG card as a gift with purchase, as well as a sound chip, Poké Ball hoodie and a Charizard costume. Pikachu will be available at Build-A-Bear Workshop stores throughout North America, Europe and Australia and online.

“Pokémon and Build-A-Bear Workshop both create memorable experiences for fans of all ages,” says Monika Salazar, director of licensing, The Pokémon Company International. “We are delighted to partner with a brand like Build-A-Bear Workshop that represents fun and friendship.”
