Following the release of the fan-favourite range of Die-Cast Poké Ball Replicas, The Pokémon Company International and The Wand Company will be expanding the offering to include Mini Poké Ball Replicas.
The first of five versions, the Mini Poké Ball Replica, will launch in February. Fans will have the opportunity to further expand their collections with the Mini Great Ball, Mini Ultra Ball, Mini Cherish Ball and Mini Premier Ball as they are released throughout 2024.
With the same display-grade, ultra-premium, precision die-cast metal construction as the full-size Poké Ball Replica, the Mini Poké Ball Replica is equipped with touch and proximity sensing technology.
The Mini Poké Ball Replicas will also come with a new, touch-controlled, Mini Poké Ball sensing display stand featuring an illuminated Pokémon logo, as well as a multicoloured glittering display ring. In addition, each Mini Poké Ball Replica will also come with its own collectable silver-plated token, featuring different Pokémon silhouettes, which can be used as an alternative way to display the replica.
The line of full-size Poké Ball Replicas will also continue to expand, with the Beast Ball Replica releasing in October. Trainers can also look forward to additional full-size Poké Ball and Mini Poké Ball Replicas arriving in 2025.
“Each full-size Poké Ball has such a distinct and incredible beauty that we just had to create miniature versions that were inspired by Trainers’ carrying Poké Balls on their belts,” commented Chris Barnardo, ceo of The Wand Company.
Amy Sachtleben, senior director of licensing and promotions at The Pokémon Company International, continued: “The Poké Ball is an iconic part of the Pokémon brand, and these replicas created in collaboration with The Wand Company have become a staple collectable for many Trainers around the world. With the new Mini Poké Ball Replicas, fans can look forward to the same high quality and vivid detail they admire in the full-size replicas, but now exquisitely miniaturised to add a whole new dimension to their growing Pokémon collections.”
