Pokémon fans in Japan are in for another nostalgic treat!

For those unfamiliar, the Psycho Soda Refresh series builds upon the success of the original Psycho Soda collection, which first launched in 2018. Known for its vintage yet playful designs, the series quickly became a fan favorite, with past plush releases featuring Pokémon such as Pikachu, Slowpoke, and Swablu. Each design captures the Pokémon in a vibrant, pop-art style, featuring distinct round eyes and charming color schemes that give off a nostalgic yet fresh appeal.

The addition of Vulpix and Alolan Vulpix brings a touch of elegance and nostalgia, while Goomy and Kumashoon (Cubchoo) add an adorable, soft aesthetic to the collection. Golem is an unexpected but exciting choice, offering a chunkier, bolder plush design compared to previous releases.
