Pokémon TCG To Release Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR Premium Collection
Earlier this week, a Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR Premium Collection was announced by the Pokémon TCG. VSTAR Premium Collections have thus far included a VSTAR and a Full Art V. The news of this specific Premium Collection is interesting, as we already have the Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR coming in Sword & Shield – Lost Origin in September, which means that the SWSH Black Star Promo in this box contains different artwork. This initially left collectors wondering what the card would look like.
Today, the reveal of the product image revealed the new art for the promo version of the Hiusian Zoroark VSTAR.
The Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR Premium Collection includes a Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR and Hisuian Zoroark V as SWSH Black Star Promos, an oversized version of the VSTAR, six Pokémon TCG booster packs, a coin, and a pin. It will retail for $39.99 and will be released on October 28th.
