The next Pokemon plush to show up at Build-a-Bear is Sobble. This character debuted in November 2019 as one of the three new starters in Pokemon Sword and Shield. The retailer updated its online website with an exclusive bundle. However, people might also see the character without the bundle option in physical stores immediately. Online, the bundle is $64/£50. However, outside the bundle the stuffed toy is $34/£26.
The online exclusive bundle includes three other items with the stuffed animal. People get Sobble, a Sobble Shirt, a Sobble Cape, and there’s already a sound chip inside the character with five different sounds. The site notes the shirt would normally be $11.50/£9 alone and the cape $10.50/£9.
There are some details with Sobble that don’t always apply to Pokemon plush at the store. If you buy it online, you can’t get an “unstuffed” version that could be filled at home or at a store. You also can’t add any scents to it.
This means that all of the Pokemon Sword and Shield starters made their debut at Build-a-Bear. Scorbunny was the first one in the “crew” to show up. It debuted in May 2021. Grookey followed in May 2022.
Sobble is now available at Build-a-Bear. Pokemon Sword and Shield can be found on the Nintendo Switch.
