Pokémon x Santa Cruz: A Limited Edition Collaboration Unveiled

The world of Pokémon has collided with the skateboarding culture of Santa Cruz, resulting in a vibrant and electrifying limited edition collection. This collaboration introduces Pokémon-themed blind bag decks and apparel, offering fans a chance to own a piece of skateboarding history with a touch of Pokémon magic.

Decking Out in Style: Pokémon Blind Bag Decks

The star of this collaboration is the Pokémon Blind Bag Decks, a unique and exciting collectible for both Pokémon and skateboarding enthusiasts. These blind bags contain a surprise 8″ skateboard deck, featuring iconic Pokémon characters and stunning artwork.

Here’s what makes these blind bags truly special:

• Variety is the Spice of Life: Each sealed blind bag contains one 8″ randomly assorted variant skateboard. This means that every bag holds a surprise, making the unboxing experience an adventure in itself.
• Shine Bright with Holo Foil Variants: Among the assortment, lucky collectors will discover 15 holo foil variants. These feature a different Pokémon character printed over silver prismatic rainbow glitter foil and silver metallic paint. These variants add a dazzling and unique touch to your skateboard collection.
• Chase the Gold Foil Editions: If you’re looking for something even more exclusive, keep an eye out for the 5 special gold foil edition variants. These stunners boast black and metallic gold ink over metallic gold foil, creating an eye-catching and luxurious design.

It’s akin to Pokémon cards, but with a twist – a $100 US skateboard version that promises excitement and surprise with every blind bag. These limited edition decks are a testament to the creativity and dedication of both Pokémon and skateboarding communities.

A Fast Sell out and Hope for More

It’s worth noting that these Pokémon Blind Bag Decks were in high demand. They sold out rapidly, with many fans eager to snag a piece of this unique collaboration. Unfortunately, for us outside the available regions like US and NZ, obtaining these limited edition items became a challenging endeavor, as we will have to pay scalpers rates. At the moment the $110US boards are listed $250US + on ebay already within 24 hours.

For collectors and fans in regions without Santa Cruz stores or access to the purchasing app (which is us as the App can only been downloaded in the US), the quest for these exquisite decks might involve navigating the world of resellers. Nevertheless, the Pokémon community remains hopeful that the success of this collaboration could lead to more exciting releases in the future, perhaps with broader availability.

While the blind bags may have vanished from shelves and virtual stores, the Pokémon x Santa Cruz collaboration has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on both the skateboarding and Pokémon worlds. It’s a fusion of two iconic cultures, celebrating creativity, artistry, and the enduring appeal of Pokémon in a whole new way.
