First Look: Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver Bonus Items

Back at last month's World Hobby Fair, the Pokemon booth made mention of some bonus items that were being planned for those who pre-order Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Late yesterday, Pokemon Co. provided a first look at the items.

As detailed here last week, the Heart Gold and Soul Silver remakes will arrive on September 12. Pokemon will be bundling a Poke Walker peripheral with each copy of the game, but has managed to keep the price at the standard ¥4,800.

Buyers will have able to obtain three Pokemon goodies depending on what they buy. Those who pre-order just Gold will get a figure for Ho-oh. Silver pre-orders will get a figure for Lugia. Pre-order both, and in addition to Ho-oh and Lugia, you'll also get an Arcus figure.

The figures are shown here:

Made by Kaiyodo, the figures will, according to Pokemon, be available exclusively through the pre-order program. They stand 6.5 cm for Ho-oh, 6.0cm for Lugia, and 8.0cm for Arcus.

The figures will be available only at select shops. The list includes Tsutaya, Pokemon Center, Toys 'R Us. See Impress Watch for a full list.

The pre-order program kicks off today and runs through the day before launch. Pokemon is making only a limited number of the figures available, so interested parties should act quickly!
