If you're a Pokémon lover who also wants to bring in good luck for yourself and your family, and also have an extra couple of hundred dollars laying around, you're in luck.
A local e-commerce business selling figurines and collectibles has opened pre-orders for figurines of Pikachu cosplaying as a Maneki Neko, or fortune cat.
Regular size selling for S$120, exclusive for S$460
According to GK Figure's website, the fortune cat Pikachus by Toffee Studio are made of resin and polyurethane.
They come seated on a red cushion, holding a gold ingot and a golden bell, and with a fish on top of their heads.
The figurines are available in two sizes: regular and exclusive.
The regular-sized figurine, which costs S$120, stands 16cm tall, and is 13cm by 12cm.

Meanwhile, the exclusive Pikachu fortune cat is 61cm tall — four times taller than the regular version — and 50cm by 50cm.
There are only 299 units of the exclusive figurine, which costs a whopping S$460, available.
