Pokémon TCG is entering a major anniversary period while also dealing with intense demand, scalping concerns, and a growing collector market. Against that backdrop, the game has showcased a new line of Eevee and Eeveelution figurines celebrating the franchise’s 30th anniversary, giving fans another way to collect designs inspired by the cards.
A New Collectible Line Centers on Eevee
The upcoming merchandise features Eevee and each of its eight Eeveelutions. The figures are designed to closely reflect their respective Pokémon TCG cards, including their poses, proportions, and lighting. That card-inspired presentation makes the collection especially relevant to players and collectors who have followed Eevee-focused releases.
The figures are expected to come in mystery boxes, with each box containing one figurine and a card stand. A regular Eevee figure will be part of the range, while a rarer version is based on the Pokémon’s Illustration Rare artwork. The rare Eevee reportedly has a one-in-80 chance of appearing, making it the central chase item in the collection.
Mystery Boxes Include Cards and a Booster Pack
Each box is also expected to include a reverse holo card featuring the corresponding Eeveelution, along with one Terastal Festival booster pack. Terastal Festival contains cards from the English release that became Prismatic Evolutions, the Eevee-focused set known for valuable Special Illustration Rare cards such as Tera Umbreon ex.
Neither a release date nor pricing has been provided in the source information. That lack of availability details has not stopped fans from worrying about access. Prismatic Evolutions was already one of the most difficult Pokémon TCG products to find, and its popularity made sealed products and individual cards highly attractive targets for third-party resellers.
Demand Adds Pressure to Pokémon TCG’s Anniversary Plans
The new figurines arrive during a difficult period for the trading card game. Some Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration orders placed through Pokémon Center were canceled, leaving uncertainty over whether legitimate collectors were affected by anti-bot measures or whether demand exceeded supply. The situation has added to broader frustration around scalping and bulk purchasing through multiple accounts.
Retailers have begun testing countermeasures, including removing protective plastic from some boxes or cutting booster-pack corners. Nintendo has also issued an official statement about the availability problem, although it remains unclear how effective these efforts will be. Fans’ concern that the Eeveelution figures could face similar pressure is therefore grounded in recent experience rather than simple speculation.
What Comes Next for the Card Game
The anniversary merchandise is only one part of Pokémon TCG’s larger expansion. The game is also connected to the upcoming Pokémon movie Wild Card, while a new card type called ex Star cards was announced at the closing ceremony of the 2026 Pokémon World Championships. That mechanic is set to debut with Mega Lucario Z ex, with more information expected in a future showcase.
For now, the Eeveelution line gives collectors a highly recognizable target, but its success will depend heavily on distribution. Clear pricing, reasonable purchase limits, and sufficient stock could help prevent another release from being dominated by resellers.

Expert View
This reveal shows how Pokémon TCG is broadening its anniversary strategy beyond cards, using Eevee’s popularity to connect merchandise, collectible artwork, and booster products. The concept is commercially strong, but the community’s response will depend on whether fans can buy the figures at retail instead of watching supply move immediately to the secondary market. With scalping already affecting major releases, distribution may matter as much as the designs themselves.
