Bluefin and Bandai are excited to present
PokePla (
Pokémon Plastic Models) - a new line of inspired model kits which will be premiering in Spring of 2020. Described as easy-to-build snap-together kits, the joint press release from Bluefin and Bandai Namco claims that this will usher a new era of modeling.
The line is going to launch in Spring 2020 with three initial kits for arguable three of the most popular
Pokémon in the Kanto Region. Those creatures are Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Eevee, and you can check out the images of them below. These kits won't require glue but it is recommended that consumers use a nipper or sprue cutter which are sold separately.
If you don't see your favorite Pokémon amongst these kits - don't worry just yet as the press release also states there will be additional kits to come later in 2020. It will be exciting to see if the next set of kits also contains Kanto Pokémon such as Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, or if the Johto Region will be the next to be featured, but we will definitely share that information as soon as we have it.
For now, take a peek at the images for the three kits we
do have information on.
What do you guys think? Is there one set that you'd prefer to the others or would you like to have all three for your collection? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
