Pokémon Returns to Sinnoh as Darkrai and Team Galactic Boss Cyrus Star in New Official Collection
Image by Charlotte DavisBandai is preparing to release a new collection of Pokémon figures inspired by the Sinnoh region, featuring Darkrai, Sky Forme Shaymin, and Team Galactic boss Cyrus.
The “Pokémon Scale World Sinnoh Region Vol. 3” collection introduces 11 new figures across six assortments, recreating ten Pokémon and one Trainer from the world of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
Pokémon Scale World is an ongoing figure series produced by Bandai’s candy toy division, recreating Pokémon and their human companions at a consistent 1/20 scale.
This approach preserves the relative size differences between Pokémon, allowing collectors to create a display featuring game-accurate proportions.
The Sinnoh region was originally introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, which launched for Nintendo DS in Japan in 2006 before receiving expanded content through Pokémon Platinum in 2008.
The games follow a young Pokémon Trainer as they explore Sinnoh, challenge its eight Gym Leaders and confront Team Galactic, a mysterious organization whose leader, Cyrus, seeks to reshape the universe by harnessing the power of Legendary Pokémon.
The latest figure collection expands the existing Sinnoh lineup with a mixture of everyday Pokémon, powerful Mythical Pokémon, and one of the region’s most important human antagonists.
Let’s take a look at all six assortments!
- Pachirisu, Buneary and Munchlax
Three smaller Pokémon figures featuring the blue-and-white Electric-type squirrel Pachirisu, the brown rabbit Pokémon Buneary and the round-bodied Munchlax.
- Croagunk and Porygon-Z
A pair of figures featuring Croagunk in a standing pose alongside the floating, brightly colored Virtual Pokémon Porygon-Z.
- Drifblim and Rotom
Drifblim is depicted with its large purple balloon-like body and trailing yellow limbs, accompanied by the much smaller Rotom in its standard form.
- Weavile and Shaymin (Sky Forme)
Weavile appears in an attacking stance with its large red crest and extended claws, while Shaymin is depicted in its smaller, green-and-white Sky Forme.
- Darkrai
The Mythical Dark-type Pokémon receives a standalone figure, recreating its shadowy black body, red collar, and flowing white head plume with both arms outstretched.
- Cyrus
The leader of Team Galactic appears in his black-and-gray uniform, complete with the organization’s yellow insignia on his chest and his signature swept-back blue-gray hair.
All 11 figures are pre-painted, with each Pokémon and Trainer produced to match the scale established by earlier releases in the collection.
The new assortment follows several previous Pokémon Scale World collections inspired by Sinnoh, including a second wave that featured Lucas, Dawn, Lucario, Luxray and other Pokémon from the Nintendo DS games.
Earlier in 2026, Bandai also revealed a separate Pokémon Scale World figure set featuring Volkner and Electivire, recreating the Electric-type Gym Leader of Sunyshore City alongside his powerful partner Pokémon.
That release depicts Volkner standing with his hands tucked into his pockets, accompanied by an Electivire figure with its large physique, twin tails and lightning-shaped markings.
The series has also explored Sinnoh’s distant past through a Pokémon Scale World collection based on the Hisui region, the setting of Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
That earlier range introduced 12 figures, including protagonist Akari, the three starter Pokémon, and several Hisuian forms alongside the region’s Legendary lake guardians.
The “Pokémon Scale World Sinnoh Region Vol. 3” collection is scheduled for release in Japan on October 19, 2026, through major retailers nationwide.
Each of the six assortments will be priced at ¥748 (approximately $5 / £4), with every package containing its pre-painted figure or figures alongside one piece of soda-flavored chewing gum.
Bandai will also offer the complete “Pokémon Scale World Sinnoh Region Vol. 3 Set” containing all 11 figures across the six assortments, priced at ¥4,488 (approximately $28 / £21).
International fans may be able to pick the collection up through reputable third-party importers, though availability may vary between retailers and regions.
