Pokémon's Misty Figure Makes a Splashy Debut

Anime News Network's merchandise coverage sponsored by Tokyo Otaku Mode.

---

The promised Cerulean Gym Leader Misty figure debuted at the Premium Bandai shop. Like the earlier Brock figure, Misty is depicted as she appears in the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue games.

The page opens up with game dialogue overlaid by the games' background theme music.

"Hey! Future Champion!"
"This gym leader, Misty, is a pro who uses water Pokémon!"
"Hey, you!"
"Trainers who want to turn pro have to have a policy about Pokémon!"
"What is your approach when you catch Pokémon?"
"My policy is..."
"An all-out offensive with water-type Pokémon!"

The figure is selling for 3,456 yen (US$28) with preorders being accepted until October 30. They are expected to ship this coming January.
