ZOZOTOWN Opens Pokémon’s 1,025-Character Shirt Collection, With Orders Running Into December
ZOZOTOWN's Pokémon 30th Anniversary 1025 T-shirt Collection entered its made-to-order sales window on September 18, 2026. ZOZO schedules orders through December 15 at 11:59 on Japan's local clock. The collection covers the anniversary logos of 1,025 Pokémon, with some designs introduced in stages. ZOZO's original announcement.
For a character collector, the appeal is unusually broad. The buying decision can start with a favourite Pokémon rather than whichever mascot happens to feature in a small collaboration.
The Campaign Is Bigger Than the Sample Gallery
ZOZO describes 13 sizes spanning children’s and adult ranges, a price of ¥3,960 including tax per shirt, and a Pikachu-logo sticker with each shirt. Each arrives in an original box. These are the announced Japanese campaign terms, checked September 21. Official details.
The promotional gallery is useful for seeing the shared visual language, but it is not a live inventory. If your favourite design is absent from a screenshot, check the campaign page for its actual status instead of assuming it was excluded.
The Pikachu version has a ZOZOTOWN-specific black treatment of the number 30. That is a design distinction in the announcement, not evidence of a numbered limited edition or a smaller production run.
A Made-to-Order Window Changes the Planning Question
The stated ordering period gives buyers a calendar to work with. It does not mean an order dispatches immediately, and it does not guarantee that production can never be interrupted.
ZOZO says delivery is planned from as little as 14 days after ordering, with production conditions able to extend the wait. Treat that as an estimate, not a guaranteed arrival in time for a birthday or holiday. Delivery wording.
If timing matters, use the estimate attached to the actual order. A general launch announcement cannot resolve a particular destination, delivery route or production delay.
Pick the Character, Then Check the Fit
A familiar Pokémon can make choosing the artwork easy. Fit still needs a separate check. Compare the product measurements with a shirt the recipient already likes rather than treating a size label as universal across brands.
For a gift, consider whether the person would prefer to wear the design or keep the packaged item. A wearable purchase should work as clothing first. A display purchase needs a storage plan for the box and sticker as well as the shirt.
Our anniversary merchandise guide covers other collections. Their regional terms and gifts are not interchangeable with this ZOZOTOWN campaign.
Keep the Sticker and Packaging in Perspective
The included Pikachu sticker and original box make the campaign identifiable. They do not turn the purchase into a Pokémon TCG promo-card offer. Keep merchandise extras separate from the card-printing questions in our promo guide.
If you later buy an opened shirt from another collector, ask whether those extras are included and inspect the garment's condition. A picture of an unopened campaign box does not describe the contents of every resale offer.
The primary announcement does not publish a fixed print run for each design. We are not ranking characters by predicted resale value or describing the ordering window as proof that every design will become scarce.
Where to Go From Here
Find the exact character design on the campaign page, check its order status and confirm size and delivery coverage. The strongest reason to buy is that it represents a Pokémon you actually want to wear or keep.
If you prefer a separate card-opening experience, the Polkastarter marketplace offers a free mystery pack at signup. Every Lootbox lists its contents, values, and chances before you open. The ZOZOTOWN shirts are not promised as marketplace pack contents.
