Pokemon fans planning their 2027 purchases have a new premium collectible to consider: Sideshow Collectibles’ Snorlax diorama, priced at $695. Pre-orders are available, but delivery is currently estimated for between May and August 2027, and Sideshow notes that the schedule could change. This is a display piece for dedicated collectors rather than an affordable addition for most fans.
What changed for Pokemon collectors?
The upcoming statue recreates an animated-style picnic centered on Snorlax, who is sleeping beneath a tree beside a pond. Nine other Pokemon join the scene: Eevee, Pikachu, Slowpoke, Skwovet, Greedent, Munchlax, Gulpin, Sewaddle, and Applin. Each character is sculpted as part of the wider environment, giving the piece a busier presentation than a standard single-character figure.
The diorama is made from polystone and includes clear cast elements for the pond. It measures 13 inches tall, 13.63 inches wide, and 13.19 inches deep, so buyers will need a substantial amount of display space. Its scale and construction help explain the price, although the $695 cost remains the biggest consideration for anyone deciding whether to pre-order.
Who should consider the $695 diorama?
This release is aimed at collectors who want a large centerpiece with several recognizable Pokemon rather than a small, inexpensive figure. Sideshow credits Racel Roubicek with the design, Gabriel Soares and Matias Cabrera with the sculpting, and Kat Sapene with the paintwork. That team-based production process reflects the amount of work behind the finished statue.
Sideshow also has other expensive Pokemon items in development or available for pre-order, including life-size Eevee and Pikachu figures listed at $530 and $540, respectively, plus a $640 Charizard statue. The Snorlax diorama is therefore part of a broader premium collectibles range, not an isolated high-priced release.
What comes next for Pokemon in 2027?
The diorama is not the only major Pokemon release associated with 2027. Game Freak is planning the franchise’s tenth generation, titled Pokemon Winds and Waves, for that year, although an exact launch date has not been announced. That game will follow Pokemon Pokopia, the series’ first life-simulation entry, which launched in March 2026 and earned an 89 Top Critic Average on OpenCritic five months later.
For fans focused on games, Winds and Waves is the larger event to track. For collectors, the Snorlax statue offers a separate way to mark the franchise’s next big year, provided the price and delivery window fit their plans.

Expert View
The Snorlax diorama looks positioned as a premium statement piece, and its size, materials, and multi-character design support that positioning. Still, the $695 price makes waiting sensible for anyone who is unsure about the commitment, especially while the shipping window remains an estimate.
