See current price on AmazonAbout Pokemon Snorlax Plush
Snorlax is one of the original 151 Pokemon from the first generation of games, and one of the most recognizable: a huge, round, permanently sleepy Pokemon built entirely around being big and soft. That shape is exactly why it works so well as a plush. This 12-inch version is officially licensed Pokemon merchandise made by Jazwares, the company behind most of the Pokemon plush line sold on Amazon.
At 12 inches, it's noticeably bigger than the standard 8-inch character plush most Pokemon lines default to, including the Pikachu plush already in this catalog. It's made from soft polyester, stuffed full enough to sit upright on its own, and works more like a cuddle pillow than a shelf figure. Worth knowing before buying: a few reviewers point out that the 12-inch measurement runs from the top of the ears down, so the body itself reads closer to 8 inches tall.
This is the pick for a Snorlax fan, or a Generation 1 Pokemon fan in general, who wants something bigger than the basic plush, more of a bedtime companion than a display piece. If you're weighing it against other character plush options, our guide to the best character plush toys for kids covers where this one fits next to Pikachu, Eevee, and the rest of the lineup.
The Honest Take
What We Like and What We Don't
What we like
- Officially licensed Jazwares Pokemon plush, not a generic knockoff

- Genuinely cuddly, works more like a pillow than a shelf figure
- Reviewers call out accurate color and character detail
- Arrives well packaged, several buyers noted no damage on delivery

Is This For You?
Who Should (and Shouldn't) Buy This
Get it if…
you or your kid are into Snorlax specifically, or Generation 1 Pokemon in general, and want a plush that's actually big enough to hug or sleep with instead of one that just sits on a shelf. It also works as a themed gift for a Pokemon fan of any age, the design skews more collector-friendly than babyish.
Skip it if…
you're expecting a full 12 inches of body height with nothing counted from the ears, or if you want a smaller, budget-priced character plush instead of a pillow-sized one. The 8-inch Pikachu plush already in this catalog is the better fit for that.
The verdict
Snorlax's whole appeal is being big, round, and made for sleeping on, so this 12-inch officially licensed version actually plays to the character instead of shrinking it down to generic-plush size. Go in knowing the size is measured to the ear tips, not straight up from the head, and it's a genuinely cuddly, well-made pick for a Generation 1 Pokemon fan who wants a companion plush instead of a small shelf toy.

“Excellent product. I would have liked a bit more texture, but it's very well made overall. It does measure 12 inches if you measure from the ears, but really, from the head down, it's only about 8 inches. (Translated from a Spanish-language review.)”

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the Snorlax plush, and does that include the ears?
It's listed at approximately 12 inches, but that measurement is taken from the top of the ears down. Measured from the top of the head instead, several reviewers say the body itself is closer to 8 inches, so it's a bit smaller in the hand than the 12-inch number suggests.
Is this part of a bigger Pokemon plush line?
Yes. It's part of the same 12-inch officially licensed Jazwares series that includes other characters like Eevee, Gengar, and Pikachu, so it's easy to build a small collection in the same size and style.
Is it officially licensed?
Yes, it's officially licensed Pokemon merchandise made by Jazwares, not a third-party knockoff.
Is it more of a pillow or a display figure?
More of a pillow. It's soft, stuffed full enough to sit upright on its own, and reviewers describe it as cuddly rather than something meant to just sit on a shelf.
What age is it recommended for?
The listing recommends it for ages 2 and up, though the plush works fine as a gift for older Pokemon fans too, including teens and adults who collect the character.
