There's a new member joining the Pokémon merchandise line and it's caused quite a stir.
The official Pokémon Center shop just introduced a new Wiglett toy that had internet users raising their eyebrows, and we can't blame them.
The Pokémon Wiglett is a species resembling Diglett that was introduced last year at the Pokémon Ecological Society, a mock online seminar, as part of the Scarlet and Violet role-playing video games.
The newly available plush version of the garden eel-like creature stands erect from its bulbous base. It has a bendable pale shaft with a pink tip as its nose.
You probably know where this is headed.
The Pokémon retailer described Wiglett as resembling Diglett but is "actually its own separate species with a different diet, habitat, and type."
The description of the Wiglett Poké Plush continued:
"In any case, this long Poké Plush version of the Garden Eel Pokémon is ready to stand tall as part of your plush collection, perched on your couch, coffee table, or bookshelf."
However, the internet thought the toy measuring 10.25 inches tall and 4.75 inches wide looked a lot like a penis.

It was hard not to laugh.
Pokémon fans shared images of the phallic toy online with questions.

People were in stitches.
Wiglett's dimensions left people slackjawed.
At the retail value of $24.99 US, the Pokémon Wiglett Plush seems a reasonable bang for your buck.
And no, it doesn't require batteries.
