New Pokémon Athletic Figures Feature Sprigatito and Skitty in Late March
Takara Tomy Arts has announced the upcoming release of a new Pokémon capsule toy series titled “Pokémon Waku Waku Athletic” scheduled for late March 2026. The collection features four different Pokémon characters depicted in relaxed poses on athletic equipment structures. Each capsule will be priced at 400 yen (approximately $2.70 or ~¥19) and will be available through capsule vending machines across Japan. The series aims to capture the adorable essence of Pokémon enjoying leisure time on playground-style structures.
The collection includes four distinct Pokémon figures: Sprigatito (ニャオハ), Meowscarada (ニャビー), Meowth (ニャース), and Skitty (エネコ). Each figure measures approximately 30-50mm in size and is crafted from PVC and ABS materials for durability. The Pokémon are shown in various relaxed positions on the athletic equipment, creating charming scenes that showcase their playful personalities. This selection represents a mix of classic and newer Pokémon generations, appealing to fans across different age groups.
Each capsule includes a Monster Ball design structure that serves as the athletic equipment base for the Pokémon figures. These structures can be stacked or connected together to create expanded play environments. The modular design allows collectors to build custom arrangements and display setups. This interactive element transforms the figures from simple collectibles into customizable play sets suitable for both children and adult collectors looking for decorative pieces.
The combination of detailed Pokémon figures and connectable Monster Ball structures creates versatile display options for enthusiasts. The small size makes them suitable for desk decorations or shelf displays, while the stacking capability offers creative arrangement possibilities. With a late March 2026 release window approaching, these capsule toys represent an affordable collectible option for Pokémon fans. The charming athletic theme adds a fresh twist to Pokémon merchandise that should appeal to collectors seeking unique display pieces.
