The Pokémon Company International and The Wand Company Expand Poké Ball Replica Collectible Collection with New Line of Mini Poké Ball Replicas

Bellevue, Wash., and Cambridge, United Kingdom — Jan. 29, 2024 — Following the release of the fan-favorite 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 beginning in February 2024. 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 multicolored glittering display ring. In addition, each Mini Poké Ball Replica will also come with its own collectible silver-plated token, featuring different Pokémon silhouettes, which can be used as an alternative way to display the replica.
 
Furthermore, the line of full-size Poké Ball Replicas will continue to expand, with the Beast Ball Replica releasing in October 2024. Trainers can also look forward to additional full-size Poké Ball and Mini Poké Ball Replicas launching 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,” said Chris Barnardo, CEO of The Wand Company.
 
“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 collectible for many Trainers around the world,” said Amy Sachtleben, senior director of licensing and promotions at The Pokémon Company International. “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 miniaturized to add a whole new dimension to their growing Pokémon collections.”
 
The Mini Poké Ball Replica will be available beginning in February 2024, at Pokémon Center, the premier online destination for official Pokémon merchandise for Trainers in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., and other participating retailers around the world.
