Pokemon is marking its 30th anniversary with a new line of collectible Pikachu blind boxes. The collection features 13 distinct figures, each based on artwork from the upcoming 30th Anniversary Celebration trading card game (TCG) set.
Quick Facts
- Release Date: September 16, 2026.
- Price: 88 yuan (approximately $12) per box.
- Set Size: 13 total figures, including one ultra-rare “hidden” variant.
- Production Ratio: 143:1 between regular figures and the hidden chase figure.
The figures are designed to mirror the 30 illustrations used for the 30th Anniversary Celebration TCG set. While eight of the 12 standard designs have been revealed, the remainder—along with the specific identity of the hidden chase figure—are expected to be unveiled closer to the launch.
For collectors, the primary challenge will be the rarity of the hidden figure. Official documentation indicates a production ratio of 143:1, making it significantly more difficult to acquire than the other 12 standard designs. Because these collectibles are currently slated for a release in China, international fans may face challenges regarding import availability and secondary market pricing.
