I produttori di Squishmallow JazWares hanno risposto a questa storia, con un portavoce che conferma quanto segue a Polygon:

“Squishmallows x Pokémon are not being recalled, they simply set a bit too early. Fans can expect to see them roll out soon for purchase. This happens sometimes — stock goes out on the floor a bit early and systems have not yet caught up.”

There is still no official confirmation of when these will be released to the public.

Nell'ultima settimana, gli acquirenti si sono diretti a Walmart negli Stati Uniti solo per scoprirlo, con loro sorpresa, that Pokémon Squishmallow - che in precedenza venivano venduti solo sul sito web del Pokémon Center - disponibili per l'acquisto in negozio. Naturalmente, sono già esauriti online, quindi chiunque voglia uno di questi morbidi Pikachu o Gengar è sfortunato, a meno che non sia fortunato in un Walmart, apparentemente.

Ecco alcuni dei rapporti individuali sugli avvistamenti di Pokémallow:

These bad boys are only $15-17, much less than the $30 they cost on the official Pokémon site. The Pokémon Center is hoping to restock the Squishmallows by Spring 2023, so it’s surprising to see these out in the wild already.

Some are reporting that the Walmart Pokémon Squishmallows are actually lower quality, hence the lower price:

This does appear to be the case, if you compare the two versions:

It turns out that this whole debacle might have been an oopsie on the part of Walmart, as multiple people have witnessed them being recalled, and others have said that the Pokémon Squishmallows did not yet have SKUs on the payment system, meaning that they weren’t intended to be sold yet.

One Reddit commenter states that the release date for these Squishmallows is the 9th January 2023, and although there aren’t any other sources that we can find to corroborate that, fans appear to have accepted that as gospel.

If you’re in the States, it may be worth checking your local Walmart, ma altrimenti, dovremo solo tenere duro fino al 9 gennaio. O più tardi. O mai più. Chissà.
