SNACK in 3 lines
- ARTFX J Touko with Pokabu from Pokemon Black and White is returning for a November 2026 rerelease.
- The official page lists it at 15,400 yen, in 1/8 scale, with Touko at about 205 mm and Pokabu at about 55 mm.
- This reads as a reproduction of a well-liked older figure rather than a brand-new sculpt, and the official/public image set is already strong enough for a quick buy-or-skip judgement.
Snackgirls editorial note
Kirari: The ponytail and the Pokabu flame effect give it a lively feel. It looks more energetic than the usual static shelf figure.
Red: Price, size, and the rerelease angle are all easy to scan here, which makes it a practical midday Japan-geek collectible story instead of a vague “figure exists” note.
Reading the official Kotobukiya product page next to the same-day HOBBY Watch report shows why this is more than a routine rerelease headline. Readers can now judge whether a missed Pokemon BW-era figure is worth picking up this time, with price, size, and sculpt mood all clearly visible.
Price, release timing, and why this is a true rerelease story
The official product page lists the figure at 15,400 yen with a November 2026 release month. That already gives readers a clear first filter for budget and timing.
Kotobukiya also labels the product as reproduction, and the spec table shows the first release month as March 2018. So the practical value here is not novelty, but the return of an older, already-known figure that readers may have missed the first time.
What still makes the figure stand out
The official description says the sculpt is based on illustrator Hitoshi Ariga’s artwork and brings back the Black and White protagonist Touko. The immediately readable hook is the mix of ponytail motion, short-shorts styling, and the ready-to-battle Pokabu effect.
The spec list also keeps the scale practical: 1/8 scale, Touko about 205 mm including the base, and Pokabu about 55 mm. That makes the display footprint much easier to imagine before buying.
Who this rerelease fits best
This feels strongest for readers who want to bring back a favorite Pokemon BW-era character presence, not for shoppers chasing only giant premium display pieces. The appeal is more about lively character charm than sheer luxury spectacle.
That is why it works for the lunch lane. The current info and image stack make it easy to decide whether this rerelease deserves a real order slot or just a nostalgic glance.
