In November 2020, it partnered with The Pokémon Company to deliver full‑sized metal Poké Ball replicas, selling over 300,000 units by 2024.
The brand has a wide choice of licensed metal and die‑cast replicas in collectibles. The Wand Company, including the Pokémon Love Ball, Poke Ball Red/White, Ultra Ball, Cherish Ball, Premier Ball, and Great Ball. Each Poké Ball is roughly 65 mm in diameter, uses polished zinc alloy with a spring‑loaded opening mechanism, and shows off franchise‑accurate embossing and paint finishes. The Pokémon Cherish Ball has a ruby‑red top half, metallic gold band, and pearl‑white lower half, all polished to a mirror sheen and held in a branded display box.
These collectibles by The Wand Company are excellent display pieces and can be kept in a variety of ways. Think about putting one of the Pokémon balls on top of a mirrored acrylic riser in your living room alongside a mini Poké Ball belt replica to echo in‑game storage details. Or you could put a Pokémon Love Ball next to a Doctor Who Eleventh Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver on a themed shelf for a contrast in genres. Browse through the wide selection of collectibles or trading cards and curate your own display cabinet for all to enjoy.
