Okay, okay, we’re just speculating, but The Pokémon Company’s latest Muk-up is a Magnemite oversight that can be worth it someday (h / t Kotaku).
Look, it turns out that Magnemite should look like this (useful red circle added by the TPCs themselves):
But the stuffed animal looks that:
Do you see ?! Terrible.
(For those of you who do no see, the magnet is upside down.)
The Pokémon company wrote an apology to its Japanese site, expressing its “sincere gratitude” to all its customers for their support despite grave error.
However, if you have one of these stuffed animals that is sold through Pokémon Centers, Pokémon Stores, and Amazon Japan, you can take it to your local Pokémon store to replace it.
Or, and not necessarily encouraging that, you could only keep. We know very little about the prices of toys, but aren’t bad toys usually worth anything? There may be a collector in thirty years who can’t wait to get their hands on a slightly wrong Magnemite stuffed animal.
