Wicked Cool Toys continues as Master Toy Licensee for Pokémon, and have just announced their comprehensive line of action figures, plush, electronics, roleplay and other toys based on the upcoming movie POKÉMON: Detective Pikachu, the first-ever live-action Pokémon adventure, opening in theaters in May, 2019. Available at retail locations in worldwide markets (excluding regions in Asia) for 2019, are core featured Pokémon interactive items Flame Action Charmander and 4" Pikachu called "My Partner Pikachu," featuring sensor technology; a Magikarp with motorized flopping action; Squishy Ditto kids will love to squeeze; and a new Vinyl line of 4" figures based on the game Pokémon Quest. In addition, a new scaled world of figures line, a new variety of your favorite Pokémon plush and fun new roleplay items offers an extensive range for the brand's millions of 'Pokémon Trainers' around the world.
You can check them out in the attached image gallery. This Detective Pikachu product line includes an exclusive selection of special movie plush and features plush, 2" and 3" figures, and a hat (complete with ears) for fans of all ages to tap into their imagination and solve mysteries just like Detective Pikachu. Promotion for Detective Pikachu seems to have taken some notes from Reynolds's Deadpool; the irreverence drips off the screen and much of the social media conversation around any given piece of footage that comes out is some variation on "wow, live-action Pokemon are terrifying." Directed by Rob Letterman, and co-written by Nicole Perlman, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is currently scheduled for a release on May 10. The film stars Ryan Reynolds (as the voice of the titular Pikachu), Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Ken Watanabe, Khary Payton, Bill Nighy, Suki Waterhouse, Chris Geere, Rita Ora, and Omar Chaparro. You can see a breakdown of the product line below.

The official synopsis for Pokemon: Detective Pikachu reads: "The story begins when ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry's former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world—they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe."
