Pokemon fans, prepare to open your wallets, as a life-size Slowpoke plushie is making its way to the online Pokemon Center.

The incredible BFF was spotted by Twitter’s Joe Merrick [via NintendoEnthusiast], who shared snaps of the huge Slowpoke on social media.
The massive plushie is a whopping 1.5 metres in length, and eight kilograms in weight. As you’ve probably already guessed, the plushie isn’t going to be cheap, coming in at an eye-watering $450 USD.
“We may never know what Slowpoke is thinking—or if it’s even thinking at all—but its willingness to happily laze the day away is worthy of admiration. With this jumbo Slowpoke plush by your side at home, school, or work, you’ll always have a reminder of the importance of taking it a little slow from time to time,” says the plushie’s official description.

If you can’t live without a life-size Slowpoke, you’ll be pleased to know the plush isn’t confined to Japan. Pre-orders for both the US and Canada are now live – sorry UK folks!
