The Nov. 12 "Red and Green" release is a Japan-only drop of 27 collectibles, led by a gray Game Boy-style Route 1 music box. Snorlax's new look, meanwhile, is on a $44.99 ring.
Pokemon Red and Green are coming back on Nov. 12. Just not as a game.
The Pokemon Company's Japanese site lists 27 collectibles going on sale Thursday, Nov. 12, at 10 a.m. Japan time. That's 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Nov. 11. There's a diorama music box, a papercraft kit and a framed map for each of the nine main game generations.
The Red and Green piece is a Route 1 music box built in Game Boy gray, with pixel-style Pikachu and friends on top. The plaque on the front reads "1996 Pokemon Red and Pokemon Green." Each music box costs 12,100 yen, which Dexerto put at about $76.
They're sold only through Pokemon Center Online in Japan at launch. Pokemon Center and Pokemon Store shops in Japan won't carry them at first, and quantities are limited.
The other Red and Green release this month is a lot louder. Here's Pokemon's official look at its Fender guitars:
What's in the Pokemon Red and Green 30th anniversary collection?
Each of the nine generations gets three pieces. For Red and Green, that's:
Route 1 diorama music box: 12,100 yen, about $76. It plays a music box version of a melody from the game.
S.S. Anne papercraft: 2,750 yen, about $17. The Vermilion City ship and town come out sepia, like an old Game Boy screen.
Framed town map: 16,500 yen, about $105. The map has raised terrain, and the frame has Pikachu and Berries on it.
Our math: one of each Red and Green piece runs 31,350 yen, or roughly $200, before shipping. All 27 pieces come to 287,650 yen, about $1,800.
The later music boxes put each generation's three starters next to Pikachu. Gold and Silver gets Route 29, Diamond and Pearl gets Route 209, and Scarlet and Violet gets South Province Area One. Papercraft prices go up to 3,850 yen for the newer games, including Prism Tower from X and Y.
Can you buy the Pokemon music boxes in the US?
Not officially, at least not yet. Dexerto reported that an overseas release hasn't been announced, and Essential Japan said no Pokemon Center US release had been confirmed.
The Pokemon Company's listing says the items could later show up at Pokemon Center stores, the Amazon.co.jp Pokemon Store and event venues in Japan. It also says restocks are possible. For now, US fans would have to go through a proxy shopping service, and those add fees on top of the yen price.
How much are the Pokemon Fender guitars?
A lot more than a music box. Fender's Red Version Stratocaster and Green Version Telecaster cost 396,000 yen each, about $2,490, SoraNews24 reported.
Both are made in Japan. They have pixel-art bodies, a 30th anniversary neck plate and an "8-Bit Sound System Mode." Push in the volume knob, and the guitar takes on a chiptune sound, like a Game Boy with an amp.
They're sold by lottery on Pokemon Center Online in Japan. Applications open at noon Nov. 19 and close at 4:59 p.m. Nov. 24, Japan time. Guitar.com reported that the guitars will ship within Japan in late December.
Fender Asia Pacific President Giorgio Guerrini called the team-up "a natural celebration of that shared spirit."
What is Snorlax's new 30th anniversary design?
It's a ring. GameRant spotlighted the Snoozing Snorlax Pokemon Ring from Enso Rings on Nov. 8.
The cobalt blue silicone ring shows a sleeping Snorlax with "starry-night details," and it costs $44.99 at EnsoRings.com in sizes 5 to 14. It's one of 21 licensed Pokemon rings Enso sells right now. Enso's listing describes Snorlax as a Pokemon known for "resting, relaxing, and enjoying life at its own pace." Same, Snorlax.
