MEWTWO'S CLONE BALL

This is part of a continued series of PokeBalls.  This is an Mewtwo’s Clone Ball that he uses the movie “Pokemon: The First Movie”.  Mewtwo’s Clone Ball is not available in the Pokemon video games.  This Mewtwo’s Clone Ball can be made two different ways.  It can be made by simply stuffing Mewtwo’s Clone Ball with Polyester Fiberfill or by inserting a tennis ball where indicated.  I made the one featured in the photo with stuffing inside.
