The life-sized Altaria Pokemon plush that went up for pre-order last year has now started shipping out, and its new owners are now questioning where they're going to put it.
Late last year, The Pokemon Company added a huge Altaria plush to its website for $649.99CAD / £429.99. Now, several months later, those who pre-ordered the extra large toy are starting to receive it in the mail and are quickly realizing that maybe they should have taken the creature's 37 ¾ x 51 ½ x 35 ½ inch measurements more seriously.
One of these people is Twitter user @serinide, who shared a photo of the Altaria plush in their home with the caption: "Good god what have I done." In a follow-up tweet, the streamer posed beside the plush for another photo, along with the caption: "I don’t think you guys understand the sheer scale of this creature." It's kind of difficult to see Serinide in the image though as Altaria completely eclipses them.
