This is the only one actually taking them now. I'm going through Amazon though so I'm waiting for that to go live.

It's a replica. Lights up and shit. Why the fuck are people always asking what it does and why doesn't it open. Who the fuck cares?

Like 99% of collectables, nothing.

You just set it somewhere and look at it.
If you actually have friends, they'll ask why you got it.

this is a fucking BALL not some premium detailed figure

they could have rigged it so a blow up squirtle or something pops out if you throw it.

Calling it now. Some idiot will try to use one of these at a zoo to try to capture a lion, a tiger, or a gorilla, pissing them off in the process.

Why the fuck does it need to open? Not to mention it loses all the weight if you make it hollow.

So it's properly weighted and satisfying.

Not to mention making it open and close means putting in a latch or clip to open and close it. Or somehow incorporate magnets or some shit.

Why does it need to be satisfying? Is it a sex toy?

It's a $100 paperweight. You set it on a shelf and look at it.
Tell me you don't plan on actually throwing it at things...

If they want to make a good replica then the thing should also open up. There are replicas out there that are well made, for $100 this is NOT one of them.

The size is correct. Also the anime has 10 year old characters.

Link one that's actually spherical completely and made of quality materials.

Find me a realistic pokeball that doesn't look like a toy. Find me any pokemon gear that maintains the art style of the series and doesn't look like a toy.

CE trying to look too deep into a knickknack.

Any clue if they will eventually make the other ball, TC? Premier, Luxury, etc.
They confirmed more were coming, didn't say which ones. Ultra should be obvious but I'm hoping for premier. Either that or luxury, maybe both but I doubt it. I'd be surprised if they did more then 5 honestly.

It's not plastic. It's die-casted.

And literally every single ball damn near has a white dot on it representative of light reflecting off its shiny surface.

A white dot, even on sunny days, not this whole reflection of a light source!

Crap, crap, and double crap.

I definitely think it'd be way cooler if it opened, and had curved mirrors inside like it does on the show.

That said, I'm not particularly die hard on authenticity, I'd love to see a really detailed stained wood collection of different pokeballs
