Nintendo's range of Skylanders-esque Pokémon is now available at UK retailer GAME.The figurines are used with Wii U downloadable spin-off Pokémon Rumble U, which launches as an eShop download this week.Nintendo was previously unsure (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-17-pokemon-rumble-us-skylanders-style-toys-iffy-for-europe) whether the toys would make the leap to the UK. Today - the day of the game's release - is the first we've heard of the offer.Each figurine costs Ł3.99 and comes in a random Gacha Ball pack - so you won't know which you've bought until you open it.A GAME-exclusive special edition (http://www.game.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/HubArticleView?hubId=241788&articleId=241789&catalogId=10201&langId=44&storeId=10151&cm_sp=wiiU-_-banner-_-PokemonRumbleU) of Pokémon Rumble U is also available. It includes a download code for the game, a poster, one standard figurine and a limited edition character.The standard range of toys is shown below. There are also a number of secret "shiny" versions of certain monsters, and legendary critters Black Kyurem or White Kyurem for inclusion in the special editions.
