The Pokemon Company is unveiling fresh official designs for two of the franchise's most iconic creatures as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations. A new trading card game collection arriving November 6 will introduce redesigned figures of Mew and Mewtwo alongside other commemorative items, marking another milestone in the year-long celebration of the series' three decades.
The release, branded as "Pokemon TCG: 30th Celebration Figure Collection – Mew & Mewtwo," will be available worldwide at a suggested retail price of $29.99 per box. Each box contains five 30th Celebration booster packs, foil promotional cards for both legendary Pokemon, and the newly designed figures. The Mew figure incorporates a floral aesthetic as its backdrop, while the Mewtwo design draws inspiration from the dark crystalline formations featured in the Tera Raid encounters from recent mainline games. Despite the November 6 release date still being weeks away, both boxes are already sold out on most major retailers, with resellers listing them on secondary markets for significantly inflated prices around $200 per pair.


The 30th Celebration set has proven popular with collectors and players alike, largely due to favorable pull rates and widespread product availability that has discouraged scalping compared to previous Pokemon TCG releases. Most rare cards from the set have stabilized at reasonable prices, with only the rarest Mew cards maintaining values in the thousands of dollars. The new figure collection offers fans an accessible entry point into the anniversary celebration while providing high-quality collectible figures of two of the franchise's most recognizable Pokemon.
Scalping remains a persistent challenge for Pokemon products despite efforts to combat the practice. A recent sale of a vintage Umbreon card set a record at one million dollars, highlighting how exclusive and limited releases can command astronomical secondary market prices. The Pokemon Company has implemented various strategies to maintain fair pricing and availability, though exclusive promotional cards tied to collaborations and special events continue to attract premium reseller valuations.
The Mew and Mewtwo collection is one of several figure releases planned as part of the anniversary year. Another upcoming product will introduce newly designed Eevee and its evolved forms. Meanwhile, the franchise continues its celebration across multiple platforms, with the trading card game receiving fresh sets, Pokemon GO hosting special community events, and other titles running limited-time activities. The next major mainline games, Pokemon Winds and Waves, are scheduled for 2027, ensuring the anniversary festivities remain focused on existing titles and special releases throughout 2026.
