Burger King has officially started offering the Pokemon: Detective Pikachu toys we reported on a few days ago. If you’re interested in any of the options pictured above, you’ll need to purchase a King Jr Meal.

Six toys are up for grabs in total. They include Detective Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Mewtwo, Arcanine, Loudred, and Psyduck. We know that Detective Pikachu lights up, Arcanine shoots a fireball from its mouth, and Mewtwo has a ball of psychic energy that it can hold and drop by moving its arms. Burger King crowns are also available based on the movie.
