When it comes to video game world-wide popularity, it arguably doesn’t get any bigger than Pokemon. And when it comes to fan-favorite Pokemon, it arguably doesn’t get any bigger than Snorlax. To capitalize on the popularity of both, Pokemon Thailand has revealed two massive Snorlax plushies that carry equally large price tags and are available for pre-order now.
The “small” Snorlax plus is 35 inches tall, while the larger one clocks in at a remarkable 59 inches. The 35-inch plush costs 595 baht ($145 USD) and the 59-inch behemoth costs a staggering 22,500 baht ($700 USD). The enormous plushies look true to the character’s design, but the price tag is the major sticking point. For now, these Snorlax are only available in Thailand, but demand could influence whether the plushies are released internationally. Snorlax is one of the more popular normal type Pokemon that fans have been attached to since the original Pokemon Red and Blue.
Although plenty of Pokemon would work well as stuffed animals, Snorlax appears to be a good fit for a giant pillow-like plush. Snorlax made his gaming debut by sleeping in the way of the player, so turning it into a plush for laying on just seems right.
This isn’t the first time the snoring bear of a Pokemon has been turned into a plush either, as last year a Snorlax Build-A-Bear was made available. While not nearly the same size as this Pokemon Thailand plush, the Build-A-Bear version did include a pair of pajamas to hammer home the pocket monster’s love of sleeping.
Snorlax is one of the most traveled Pokemon out there. The “Sleeping Pokemon” is seen in nearly every mainline Pokemon, has notable appearances in the manga, animated show, and spin-off Pokemon games such as Pokemon Snap. Just recently, Snorlax was added as a big event in Pokemon Cafe Mix, the puzzle game on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.
Just when fans may have thought that Snorlax couldn’t get any bigger, a Gigantamax version of Snorlax was added to Pokemon Sword and Sheild via an event recently, enlarging the monstrous and adorable bear to unprecedented sizes. So big that a tree is literally growing on him, the Gigantamax Snorlax most likely is simply looking for some food so it can get back to sleep.
