The $100 realistic Poké Ball

If you are a video gamer who has some time watching and playing video games, it is impossible that you do not know about the Pokémon universe and its huge franchise that has grown in a shocking way over the years, both in toys, movies, anime, games, among other things. Within this vast world we can find a huge amount of Pokémon, characters, powers and more, but one of the objects that are an essential tool are the Poké Balls.

Every player or fan of this franchise has always tried to have a "realistic" feeling of having one of these Poké Balls in their hands, for that reason several companies have always launched toys designed to have that experience, however, none of them met the satisfaction of the most demanding, as it seemed that you just had a round piece of plastic.

But one company would take the challenge of designing a Poké Ball giving a super realistic touch, this is The Wand Company, who already have more than a decade making designs of different things, one of the most relevant was in 2015, year in which they launched a communicator with Bluetooth technology of the famous series called Star Trek, however, this time they would go into the Pokémon universe.

To surprise the most fanatics, they decided to make a Poké Ball, but with a very special style and design, since it would not be manufactured with a simple plastic, but with really resistant material, a first class paint finish and with an interesting weight, approximately 450 grams, these characteristics give to understand that it is a collector's item.

Many would like this Poké Ball to open and show its contents, however, it does not have this function, instead they included other things that visually make it very striking, for example, a proximity sensor that is responsible for detecting how close your hand is, in this way the light of the button will shine at different levels.

In addition to the Poké Ball, the package also includes a box of a very resistant material, which can be used to pose the item and backlight it in different colors, this makes you understand that this is a visual collectible, if used in an inappropriate way could hurt someone, due to the weight that has the artifact.

Those who have had the opportunity to purchase it have been able to describe a great feeling of satisfaction when holding it in their hand, due to its weight and size. This is something that its designers wanted users to experience, as they wanted them to feel as if it were really the Poké Ball.

The only thing that probably will not be to the taste of many is the price, at the time of its launch in 2021 it was sold for 100 dollars, a figure that only those fans are willing to pay, due to the fact that it is an item that only fulfills one function, to use it as an exhibition, however, it is very interesting the fact that a company could achieve a striking item based on a video game, trying as much as possible to reflect how a Poké Ball would really be in real life.
