Snorlax is far from the first Pokemon to be added to the Build-A-Bear roster, with popular Pokemon like Pikachu and Squirtle being available for a while now. The Build-A-Bear variety of these plushes offer a bigger and often cuddler version of the pocket monsters over Pokemon Center plushes, and are generally easier to purchase.

The Build-A-Bear Snorlax Bundle comes with the Snorlax plush and some pajamas to dress it up with to match the Pokemon’s sleepy nature. The plush also comes with a sound-box that plays five different Snorlax noises. Finally, buyers will get an exclusive promotional Pokemon Trading Card Game card. This bundle is only available here on Build-A-Bear’s website and costs $57.00. At this time, the Build-A-Bear Snorlax is only available as a bundle, so those only interested in the plush will, unfortunately, have to get the entire bundle.
Snorlax is a popular monster in Pokemon, spawning all sorts of merchandise for the big, cuddly creature. This Gen 1 Pokemon, in particular, has also received a lot of other collectibles and merchandise, from gigantic bean bag chairs to comfy hoodies and more. Snorlax is also so popular, in fact, that it caused a stampede of Pokemon GO players trying to catch it in Taiwan.
While it’s always nice to have more Pokemon merchandise, the price for this Snorlax does seem a little high. Oddly enough, though, this bundle is on the lower end of the price scale compared to other Build-A-Bear bundles. The Eevee Build-A-Bear bundle is $63, while most of the other bundles come in at $61, like the Squirtle bundle. Those prices are comparable to plush prices on Pokemon’s official merchandise store, the Pokemon Center, but those plushes are not part of a bundle with multiple items.
