Pokémon China is extending the 30th Celebration card artwork into a blind-box display collection. The Card Illustration Figure Collection: 30th Anniversary Pikachu pairs one sculpted Pikachu with its matching foil card and a six-card 30th Celebration booster pack.

The official announcement confirms 13 figure designs, including one unrevealed secret design, and an on-sale date of September 16. Here is what is guaranteed, what remains random, and how to read the published production ratio.

Official Release Snapshot

Pokémon China announced the collection on August 18, 2026. Sales are scheduled to begin at 10:00 on September 16, the same day as the 30th Celebration expansion.

Suggested retail price

CNY 88

Product name

Card Illustration Figure Collection: 30th Anniversary Pikachu

Sale start

September 16, 2026 at 10:00 (China Standard Time)

Twelve Regular Pikachu Figures and One Secret

The complete assortment contains 13 Pikachu figures: 12 regular designs produced in equal proportions and one secret design. Pokémon China showed eight regular designs in the launch announcement and said the secret figure would be revealed later.

Each figure comes with the specific Pikachu foil card that inspired it, so the random element determines both the sculpture and its matched display card. The official product image supplied for this article shows the eight currently revealed figure-and-card pairings.

The Card Illustration Becomes a Three-Dimensional Scene

The collection is designed around more than reproducing Pikachu's pose. Pokémon China says the figures translate the texture, color layers, story, and atmosphere of each card illustration into a sculpted display piece.

The included stand places the figure in front of its corresponding card, creating the intended effect of Pikachu stepping out of the frame. That makes the matching card part of the display concept rather than a separate bonus.

What Each Box Contains

Every CNY 88 box includes three items:

  • 1 random Pikachu figure from 13 designs, including 1 secret design.
  • 1 Pikachu foil card corresponding to the included figure.
  • 1 six-card 30th Celebration booster pack.
Chinese Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration six-card foil booster pack featuring Pikachu, Mew, and Mewtwo.
One six-card 30th Celebration booster pack is included in every figure-collection box.

How the Included 30th Celebration Pack Fits In

The separate 30th Celebration expansion is an all-foil release. Pokémon China's pack announcement says every six-card pack contains one of 30 Pikachu cards illustrated by 30 different artists.

The matched figure card is listed separately from the booster in the box contents. Buyers therefore receive the known card tied to their random figure plus the independently randomized contents of one booster pack.

Read the Randomization and 143:1 Ratio Carefully

  • The box is a blind assortment; buying multiple boxes can produce duplicate regular figures.
  • The 12 regular designs are described as equally produced.
  • Pokémon China publishes a 143:1 production ratio for regular figures versus the secret figure.
  • A production ratio is not a guarantee that any sequence of 144 purchases will contain one secret figure.
  • The secret figure and its matching foil card were still unrevealed when the product was announced.

Collector Takeaway

This release connects two collecting goals: a sculpted interpretation of one Pikachu illustration and a sealed 30th Celebration pack. The figure-card match is guaranteed, but the selected design and booster contents remain random.

At CNY 88, the practical decision is whether the display concept appeals across the regular lineup. Treat the secret figure as an uncommon production variant, not as a result promised after a fixed number of purchases.
