Introducing the Real FX Pikachu Puppetronic!

Can you believe it’s 30 years since we first met Pikachu and Ash? To celebrate this amazing Pokémon anniversary, the Chaos Cards team are excited to introduce a brand-new way to interact with everyone’s favourite Pocket Monster. Say hi to the Real FX Animatronic Pikachu.

Let's just say, we are SUPER excited for this adorable Electric type Pokémon to arrive in the office. We’ve seen a lot of Pokémon merchandise over the years, but this really feels like a "first of its kind" experience.

Created by Real FX’s Puppetronics brand, this Pikachu is more then just a toy, it’s a highly sophisticated, user-controlled animatronic. Real FX believes in the magic of bringing characters to life with authenticity, and we think they have certainly delivered with Pikachu.

Fans are already calling this the most realistic Pikachu ever created, with each one coming with its very own Certificate of Authenticity. These Pikachu's feel like something to be celebrated!

This isn't your average cuddly plush. This Puppetronic is PACKED with technology designed to make it feel like you have a real life Pokémon hanging out in your house:

• 120+ Interactions: With over 120 unique sounds, expressions, and actions, each interaction feels fresh and exciting.
• Touch-Sensitive Sensors: Pikachu comes with sensors on it’s face and stomach, and even reacts to your touch in real-time.
• Dynamic Movement: The electric type Pokémon comes with fully controllable eyes, ears, and mouth.
• Iconic Features: The rumours are true, this little dudes signature red cheeks actually light up!

One thing the Chaos Cards team noticed immediately is the scale. The size is perfectly in keeping with what we think the "real-life" proportions of a Pikachu would be. In fact, we reckon he is the perfect size for perching on our shoulders! Plus, the fur feels so soft to the touch, adding an extra layer of realism making him feel like much more than a piece of tech.

So, whether you’re a lifelong fan from the Pokémon Red & Blue days, or a new trainer starting out on their journey, this Puppetronic Pikachu is the ULTIMATE way to celebrate 30 years of Pokémon magic. We think this fluffy Pikachu would make a great companion to the amazing new range from the Pokémon x LEGO collaboration we reviewed recently!

Let us know what you think of this adorable addition to the Pokémon line up of toys over on our socials! Maybe even send over some photos. We would love to hear from our fellow Pikachu fans!
