February 27 has been anointed by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company as "Pokémon Day" to celebrate the anniversary of the series' launch in Japan. Outside of in-game events, like Pokémon Go adding a party hat to all wild Pikachus for a week, The Pokémon Company has released a new premium line of figures called Gallery Figures.
The first four figures announced in the Gallery line are some of the most well-known creatures from the original 151 performing their signature moves. The Pikachu figure depicts the electric mouse Pokémon performing a thunderbolt, while Mew is using its psychic attack. The other two figures in the inaugural line show Magikarp using its splash attack and Eevee attacking with swift.
The company sent us one of each figure to check out for ourselves. Each character features a high level of detail and cool move effects surrounding them. However, those move effects (particularly the ones surrounding Pikachu and Mew) are quite fragile, so these are definitely more for display than play. The figures range from 3 inches to 4.5 inches tall, with Pikachu standing much taller than any of the other characters thanks to its tail and electrical arcs. You can see all of the figures and their packaging below. The figures are currently available on PokémonCenter.com and retail for $16.99.
