Summary
We may never live in a world wherePokemonare real, but on the bright side, there are a lot of ways The Pokemon Company has brought them into the real world. Whether that be viaFunko Pops, plushes, or action figures. Its latest venture technically falls into the plush category even though their primary function is furniture as Gengar, Lechonk, and Jigglypuff have all been turned into massive beanbags.
All three items inthe Pokemon x Yogibo collectionare available now, and since they’re so big - and officially licensed Pokemon products - it’s going to cost you a Lechonk of change if you want to own a Gengar you can sit on. The Yogibo beanbags are $299.99 each, available to pre-order through the Pokemon Center and expected to ship in October. Perfect holiday gifts for someone you want to splash out on this Christmas, or if you’re going for Gengar, a great addition to your Halloween decor that should arrive just in the nick of time.
If the images of a woman holding the massive beanbags aren’t enough to give you an idea of just how big these things are, their exact dimensions are 30 x 30 x 30 inches. A perfect sphere, although I imagine it would take quite a lot of effort to return them to that state once they’ve been sat on for the first time. Speaking of which, Pokemon makes it abundantly clear that only one person should be sitting on these beanbags at a time. Don’t make Lechonk more upset than it already is by inviting friends to sit on it with you.
Gengar, Lechonk, And Jigglypuff Are Your Beanbag Starters
Pokemon × Yogibo Gengar Beanbag Chair
Pokemon has teamed up with Yogibo for a range of very special beanbag chairs. This one reimagines the popular Ghost-type Gengar, stuffed with beans and the cover is removable so it can be washed and replaced with other Yogibo-compatible beanbag chair covers.
The beanbags' covers can be removed, making them easy to wash. That also means they can be switched with other compatible Yogibo beanbag covers. The covers in this collection don’t appear to be on sale separately. A collection of the three covers with one beanbag so you can change up the design every now and again might have been a cool idea, but clearly Pokemon wants you to buy all three. Fair play to anyone who spends $900 to get the entire collection. A home with three giant Pokemon beanbags is one I’d like to visit.
Pokemon × Yogibo Lechonk Beanbag Chair
Pokemon’s work with Yogibo has brought with it three beanbag chairs, all of which measure 30 x 30 x 30 inches, so comfortably big enough for one person to sit on. Each design is modeled after a different Pokemon, and this one turns a happy little Lechonk into your next piece of novelty furniture.
Yogibo’s new Pokemon beanbags are far from the first officially licensed product you can use as furniture. The Pokemon Company has made a habit of creating huge plushes that might not be marketed as seating but are definitely big enough to be used as such. Just last montha 59-inch Slowpokewas added to the Pokemon Center’s plush collection. Its dimensions are modeled after how Slowpoke appears in the games and it will cost you $450. That’s one and a half beanbags, although I really wouldn’t recommend cutting them in half.
