According to Polygon, the Pokémon Center released a new Halloween merchandise collection this week featuring yard statues of Ghost-type Pokémon, seasonal apparel, and Christmas ornaments that position the retailer in the early holiday shopping season.
Serving as centerpiece are yard statues featuring Cubone, Mimikyu, Espeon, and Umbreon, each standing just over one foot tall; compared with the large skeleton decorations commonly found at home improvement retailers, these statues offer a practical alternative. Their modest size enables year-round storage.
Ghost-type Pokémon are featured throughout the collection, including Gengar merchandise in knit cardigans, T-shirts, sleepwear, and robes. This emphasis aligns with the Halloween theme while capitalizing on their popularity among collectors.
Also included is an Eevee snow globe depicting the Pokémon in a pumpkin patch, complete with a witch hat and cape. Simultaneously, the Pokémon Center released new Christmas ornaments featuring Mewtwo and Golett. These extend the merchandise timeline into the holiday season.
