Here’s an unexpected crossover: Pokémon and Polaroid have teamed up to release a trio of pocket monster-themed instant cameras. There’s a yellow one based on Pikachu, complete with a lightning bolt tale; a pink-and-white Sylveon one with a ribbon-like strap; and a red-and-white one meant to evoke a Pokéball. They look great, but they're flickering in and out of stock at Amazon (they mostly seem sold out). At the time of this writing they’re still available at the Pokémon Center, so order fast if you want one.
Pokémon Polaroid Instant Cameras and Film
These are all Polaroid Now Generation 3 I-Type Instant Film Cameras, which means they're chunky and colorful, and they shoot full-size Polaroid pictures. The prints come out of the camera right after you take the photo. Polaroid also touts this model's "optimized exposures for sharper pictures."
Additionally, each camera has a self-timer mode, a tripod mount on the bottom, and battery life that lasts for 15 film packs.
