Okay, we’m just speculate, but The Pokémon Company’s latest Muk-up is a Magnemite surveillance that might one day be worth something (h / t Kotaku).
Look, it turns out that Magnemite should look like this (useful red circle that TPC itself added):
But the plushie looks like this:
You see ?! Terrible.
(For those of you who do not see, the magnet is upside down.)
The Pokémon company wrote an apology on its Japanese website and expressed its “sincere thanks” to all their customers for their support despite the grave error.
Either way, if you have one of these plushies sold by Pokémon Centers, Pokémon Stores and Amazon Japan, you can just bring it to your local Pokémon Store to replace it.
Or – and we are not necessarily encouraging it – you can keep it. We know little about toy prices, but are defective cuddly toys usually not worth it at some point? There may be a collector in thirty years who just can not wait to get his hands on a slightly wrong Magnemite soft.
