Pokémon's 30th anniversary has already turned 2026 into one of the franchise's biggest celebrations in years, with new games, cards, events, and major announcements looking both backward and ahead. The Pokémon Company officially unveiled Pokémon Winds & Waves, the next mainline RPG coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, while the 30th Celebration expansion has given Pokémon TCG players/collectors plenty to discuss.

The celebrations reached another level during the 2026 Pokémon World Championships and the inaugural PokémonXP in San Francisco, which brought competitive tournaments, panels, activities, and new reveals together for one massive and eventful weekend. That included the announcement of Pokémon: Wild Card, an all-new animated movie expanding the franchise on the big screen, among dozens of other exciting reveals.

Pokémon fan-favorites have naturally remained central to the anniversary as well, such as Pikachu's 30 unique designs for the 30th Celebration set, and now Eevee, another one of the franchise's most beloved Pokémon, is getting a special release as well (via Sideshow).

Pokémon fans looking for something particularly extravagant to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary will soon be able to bring home their very own life-size Eevee. Sideshow Collectibles' officially licensed Eevee Life-Size Figure is now available to pre-order for $530, with shipping currently estimated to begin as early as November 2026 and continue through February 2027. Sideshow notes that arrival dates are estimates, however, and some orders could ship as late as May 2027.

The limited-edition release is restricted to just 800 pieces, with customers allowed to purchase a maximum of two. Made from polystone and inspired by Eevee's appearance in the Pokémon animated series, the statue measures approximately 13.5 inches tall, 13 inches wide, and 10 inches in depth, or roughly 34 x 33 x 26 centimeters. That makes it realistically scaled to Eevee itself instead of simply being a small desk figure or small-scale figure.

Sideshow has also given the display a bit of personality outside a run-of-the-mill standing pose. Eevee is depicted making its way through a colorful field of flowers, with the different colors representing the possibilities waiting in the Pokémon’s future, according to the product description. It's a fitting reference to Eevee's defining ability to evolve into numerous different forms.

Eevee's familiar sparkling eyes, oversized ears, fluffy collar, paws, and enormous bushy tail have all been recreated in stunning detail, while the grassy base makes the piece feel like a stillframe from the show as opposed to a traditional statue.

Eevee has certainly never lacked its share of merchandising options. Since debuting in the original Pokémon games, the fan-favorite has appeared as everything from plush toys and Funko figures to premium statues, trading cards, jewelry, LEGOs, and collectibles built around its various Eeveelutions. Even with decades of Eevee designs behind it, though, Sideshow's new release stands out.

For fans who grew up wishing Pokémon were real or simply always wanted an Eevee of their own, a high-end figure built at realistic dimensions is about as close to that as official merchandise can reasonably get. With its limited production run and earliest deliveries coinciding with Pokémon’s 30th anniversary, it also feels particularly well-timed as a centerpiece collectible celebrating three decades of the franchise.
