The Pokémon Trading Card Game’s Prismatic Evolutions set has sparked excitement with its high-value cards, especially the Umbreon ex Special Illustration Rare, currently valued at approximately $1,633.92.
This card, alongside Espeon ex, could soon be easier to obtain due to a potential reprint in an upcoming product release, making it more accessible for fans and collectors alike.
Reprint in the Prismatic Evolutions Premium Figure Collection
Reports from PokéBeach reveal that Umbreon ex and Espeon ex will be featured in the Prismatic Evolutions Premium Figure Collection, which is slated for release on September 26. This collection is expected to include these two highly sought-after cards, with the added bonus of figures based on these iconic Pokémon.
This is significant because both of these cards are some of the most expensive in the Prismatic Evolutions set. The Umbreon ex card is the most expensive, with the Special Illustration Rare potentially fetching around $8,547.56 when graded PSA 10.
What to Expect in the Premium Figure Collection
The Premium Figure Collection format is similar to other past releases, such as the Crown Zenith Premium Figure Collection, which included the Shiny Zacian V and Zamazenta V cards, along with sculpted figures, collector’s pins, booster packs, and card sleeves.
The upcoming Prismatic Evolutions box will likely follow a similar structure, featuring Umbreon and Espeon in some form, but the key question remains: will the figures and cards come in their Special Illustration Rare forms, or will they be alternate versions or reprints?

Alternate Versions and Reprints: What to Expect
As of now, it’s unclear exactly which version of these cards will be included in the collection. The Crown Zenith collection featured Shiny versions of Zacian V and Zamazenta V, while the Arceus V Figure Collection included an alternate art promo card.
There’s a possibility that Umbreon ex and Espeon ex could also have alternate versions or different artwork for this release, potentially making them more accessible than the original versions, which have been selling for high prices on secondary markets.
For those hoping for a reprint of the Special Illustration Rares, there’s still uncertainty. While there is speculation that new alternate versions could be released before the Premium Figure Collection’s launch, no official confirmation has been made yet.
Final Thoughts
The Prismatic Evolutions Premium Figure Collection is set to bring exciting news for collectors and fans alike, offering a chance to grab high-value cards like Umbreon ex and Espeon ex.
However, whether these cards will be the original high-priced versions or new alternate prints remains to be seen. If you’re eager to get your hands on these iconic Eeveelutions, keep an eye out for the collection’s release in September and any updates regarding potential reprints from The Pokémon Company.
