@@LunarDoor I don't think so. For the circle to glow it needs only a small thin cable and an LED which can be super small. Only thing left is a battery. I have a GorillaZ 2D statue that has 3 tiny batteries in his head to make his eyes glow and the batteries are really really small. So it could totally be done 100% But yeah, noises too. The small speaker could be behind the LED, easy.
It 100% needed this to increase the chance of sales. I guess they were only expecting the super hardcore, who also don't care about the details, to buy it. $65 would have been reasonable but prices always sky rocket when the word 'replica' is attached.
Am I going to buy this? DARN RIGHT, but I really wish it would OPEN! Hell, even the Poke Balls from Burger King with the gold plated cards from back in the day OPENED!
Soon enough, around 2026, on Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary, an extremely likeness of a Pokeball will be released. One that can open while doing the same things it can do now.
As a decorative piece, proximity sensing is a way better option rather than just the ball opening up. The point of this product is for decoration, kind of like a trophy you place on a shelf. If you want a poke ball that opens up you can buy one for cheap online. This is a piece of art, not a toy.
Not very much of a replica when it doesn't open or have a button or make a sound... The glow should also be able to be red. Even survive throws and include magnets for attaching to belt. I feel it's weird to half-ass these things.
Got 4 on the pre order! $100 really doesn't seem so bad for a metal ball with the proximity and lighting up etc. I paid $200 for some from taiwan that light up and aren't even metal...
(Company/feedback) I would really love if they could add a sound from Pokemon, perhaps capturing sound, but it's only action is the led. I would be paying $100 for the Pokemon led, it's box and it being official. It tugs at my heart strings because well..I love Pokemon! However it is difficult within my own reasons, to justify the price for what you will receive, including it requiring batteries. Also commenting on stating that I do not understand collectables, ect or labeling as a child, (blindly assuming) commenting "this not a toy." Please keep in mind that I am a collector (among vast others) of the original Pokemon base set, owning the entire collection of Pokemon gen 1 cards, holos and actively collect Pokemon resin statues. I understand this is not a toy and is for display purposes only, however I personally (My opinion) wish the item would have some other action along side the led function. I understand that this ball cannot open up and I agree in terms of this, but the sound is a nice thought that could be implemented. This feedback is for the company and as a potential customer, which I hope could edge a change in design. Even if this comment does nothing, it is my opinion and this is not to bash those who find it's price justifiable or otherwise.
Bro the amount of people in these comments who don’t understand the concept of a display piece is mind blowing lmao. This will sit on a shelf, hardly ever be touched. And will be for display purposes only. “Omg it doesn’t open tho!!!!!” Lmfao bro if $99 for a “piece of metal” seems ridiculous to you, then move along. You’re not the target demographic and this isn’t for you. Lmao absolute children.
@@menamgamg yea fr fr I told so many people that it would lose value if it opened, they should be grateful we got something this accurate and official the glowing lights add so much more to it
So why can't this thing open up or shake in your hand again? Do you guys usually cheapen out on such details or is this the first time you've done that?
This is cool, but I prefer the Master ball since it's my favorite pokeball. Sad that I missed the sale on the pokecenter website. Now people are selling them on eBay 4 times the price. And these aren't even out yet..
That's why I'm still not sure if I should get one. The person seems to be super conscious of the fact that the sensors are too sensitive or don't function perfectly
I truly do want it, but it is simply not worth $100.00... I feel like they made it light up to artificially inflate and justify the price, but it just isn’t worth it... $70.00 max. Now, if they release a BEAST BALL variant... I may just cash in lel
Is it basically just a flashlight or what? I get it that it is a Pokeball decoration, but I tried looking for info about this, but all I find is it is a Poke Ball replica and touch sensor this and that but is that all it is? A simple paperweight?
I think my replica phone charging Pokeball I got from the fashion district in LA for $15 looks better than this. If it opened and had some type of noise or movement it would be well worth $100. But as of now I’ll keep the one I have which looks more like the live action movie version ball.
Very good but Please make a version 2 with a better box that doesn’t close that easily. Add Sound or little speakers in the pokeball that has different sounds such as specific throwing sounds or capture sounds when the capture feature is enabled. Finally it sounds abit weird but a tiny vibration device that would make a little wobble or some type of moment when the capture mode is enabled. This would make this product a masterpiece if done right. Plz
Damn this looked so awesome til I realized it doesn't open. Wouldn't care if it added another 50$ to the price of that meant it had a cool interior. The box is nice though.

I rather 3D print and mod my own and guess what it opens and lights up too. Not hard to do the red flashing on it.
the parts are inside to glow its like would you rather have a opening metal pokeball but now glow and touch sensors with lower the price or have those features and enjoy it as a decorative official metal pokeball
@@sonofgrandpriest its the first official metallic pokeball with glowing features and is a decorative collector item its well worth it especially when the case is metallic too
@@LunarDoor well, I just wish I could press the button that lights up to make it pop open. So ik why its worth 100, but to me on a personal level isn't lol. But yeah. Fair is fair
For 100$, why doesn't it open? The whole point of the poke ball is to have pokemon inside lol, if it opens and has Charmander inside I'll pre-order all the variants. This is just a waste of money honestly, "brightly illuminated button... SO YOU CAN SEE IT AND NOT OPEN IT" Makes sense lmao
Okay, that's cool and all but... what does it do? Most Wand Company products *do* something. Play sound, be a wireless remote, whatever. If I wanted a replica pokeball made of metal, I can get an external power bank pokeball from amazon for 20 bucks.
Looks like something you'd get on Wish for 12 quid. No reason this shouldn't open or have sound effects. Plus the centre of the ball only lights up when it's caught something - it's not constantly lit in the hand
no, its a replica collectors item for decoration, no official metal pokeball exists or opens up sorry bucko its either take the light or empty waste of metal
