Pokémon’s 30th anniversary has kept its release calendar busy across games, events and trading card products, even as the next mainline generation is not expected until 2027. The latest anniversary item shifts the focus to two of the franchise’s most recognizable Legendary Pokémon: Mew and Mewtwo will receive newly designed official figures as part of a worldwide Pokémon TCG release on November 6.
A figure collection built around two Pokémon icons
The Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Figure Collection – Mew & Mewtwo will be sold in separate Mew and Mewtwo boxes. Each product includes five 30th Celebration booster packs, a foil promotional card, and an official figure based on its featured Pokémon. The products carry an MSRP of $29.99 per box, meaning collectors looking to buy both at retail would pay $59.98 before applicable taxes. The release is scheduled to launch worldwide on November 6.
New designs give the collection a distinct anniversary look
The figures are not simple reissues. Mew’s new presentation uses a floral backdrop, while Mewtwo is framed by dark crystal elements resembling the visual style associated with 7-Star Tera Raids in the Generation 9 games. That approach makes the boxes relevant beyond their booster-pack contents, especially for collectors who prioritize display pieces or official character merchandise. Mew and Mewtwo remain central figures in Pokémon’s history, making them a natural fit for an anniversary-focused collection.
Demand is already raising availability concerns
Although the wider 30th Celebration card set has reportedly been easier to find than many high-demand Pokémon TCG launches, the Mew and Mewtwo figure collections have already sold out across many online storefronts ahead of release. Listings for both boxes have appeared on eBay at roughly $200, far above the combined retail price. Physical items exclusive to a particular product can create a different resale dynamic from standard booster releases, even when the broader set has ample supply and lower secondary-market card prices.
More anniversary activity remains on Pokémon’s calendar
The Mew and Mewtwo boxes arrive amid a crowded late-2026 schedule for the franchise. Pokémon has also confirmed a new TCG release for October 23, revealed November’s Pokémon GO Community Day, and is running a Halloween event in Pokopia. Looking further ahead, Pokémon Winds and Waves is positioned as a major release, while the next mainline Pokémon entries are expected in 2027 rather than during the current anniversary year.

- Each box includes five 30th Celebration booster packs and a foil promo card.

Expert View
This release shows how Pokémon’s anniversary strategy is extending beyond cards and game updates into collector-focused products. The reported early sellouts also underline a continuing market problem: even when a card set is broadly available, limited physical extras can quickly become targets for resellers. For fans, the clearest takeaway is that retail availability may matter more than secondary-market listings for these two boxes.
