Okay, okay, we’re just speculating, but The Pokémon Company’s latest Muk-up is an oversight of Magnemite that may be worth sometime (h / t Kotaku).
See, it turns out that Magnemite should look like this (useful red circle added by the TPC themselves):
But the teddy seems it is:
You see?! Terrible.
(For those of you who do no see, the magnet is upside down.)
The Pokémon Company wrote an apology on its Japanese website, expressing its “sincere gratitude” to all its customers for their support, despite the Pit mistake.
Anyway, if you have one of these cuddly toys, sold at Pokémon Centers, Pokémon Stores and Amazon Japan, just bring it to your local Pokémon Store for a change.
Or – and we are not necessarily encouraging that – you can just keep it up. We know very little about toy prices, but are defective stuffed animals worth something someday? There may be a collector in thirty years who can’t wait to get his hands on a slightly wrong Magnemite plush.
