Pikachu Pop-Up Pirate

Is there room for a toy as analog as Pop-Up Pirate in a time when even toddlers know how to scroll on a smartphone screen? Takara-Tomy, the company that came up with the idea 50 years ago (yes, it is one of those lesser-known Japanese inventions!), seems to think so, provided it gets a makeover. And what could be a better makeover than a collaboration with Nintendo and Pikachu taking the place of the pirate? Because this is what the Pikachu Pop-Up Pirate essentially is and there's no doubt that your children will totally love it!

The concept remains the same: a barrel (this time colored like a Poke ball) with Pikachu sitting in the center, waiting for you to "pop" him using one of the 16 sticks. When you do, Pikachu jumps in the air and makes one of 15 different characteristic sounds. Get the Pikachu Pop-Up Pirate for your children and show them that the Pokemon can also be fun beyond a screen!
