It has been a while since I used the costume for 80s Action Hero since I have been playing on the Nintendo Switch version of the game. I looked it up however and the costume is called Judge Z. The only way to obtain it on the Nintendo Switch, according to the Plants vs Zombies wiki, is to pre-order the game unfortunately. It was available with the Deluxe Edition on Xbox, which I did purchase which would be why I own the costume on Xbox. I never knew about this so I just assumed it was available in game normally on Switch, and I also completely forgot that it was only available by purchasing the Deluxe upgrade on the Xbox as well.

This was the case for a bunch of content that players want on the Switch which is what makes it more difficult to obtain on other platforms. When we put in the request for let's say a character skin on a different platform, a lot of dev teams in general will say well it was a pre-order or Deluxe Upgrade so no. It does make things more frustrating on both ends though because there is a demand for it from the player base.
In this case, having the costume as a pre-order bonus is somewhat reasonable since there was no Deluxe Edition for the Nintendo Switch version. We'd probably prefer if it was simply added in game within the Rux rotation on Switch, or if they added an additional way to earn it in addition to pre-ordering the game. Similar to the Founders' edition items for the other devices however, I am assuming there likely will not be another way to obtain such items, at least right now.
@EA_Shepard @TheSprinter85 thanks for the info about the skin Judge Z, I just bought it on Xbox, and wow, now not only do we want the Unicorn Stuffy hat, those other items I've previously sent thru pictures of, I'll send thru again if you need me to refresh your memory, but I must request that Switch players have the option to purchase the Deluxe edition, those items are too good to miss out on, when players know there's a new item or items, they flick back to a game, EA and PopCap will benefit from that! And I haven't forgotten about one you mentioned @EA_Shepard Pizza Chomper, I did that on Xbox, it was great fun and challenging!
@EA_Shepard I am absolutely dying for the Unicorn Stuffy hat for Switch players, and I would 1000000% but the Deluxe edition of Battle For Neighbourville on Nintendo Switch, those skins are just too good not to have, it is the complete edition after all and we were never told about the pre-order bonus which makes it unfair, please let them know, thank you
I love the Judge Z skin, the Chickpea skin too, I'd definitely buy the Deluxe edition for Nintendo Switch, I know, I'd buy it for my family members who also play in Nintendo Switch, some of my friends said they'd definitely be back if we get the Deluxe edition, we need that and if course, the Unicorn Stuffy hat @EA_Shepard
Community ManagerCommunity ManagerWay more characters should have a skin like this one!
That's why we want these items on Nintendo Switch, they are brilliant! @EA_Shepard
I agree with @GiantSmasher66 we were never told about the pre-order bonus, when Battle For Neighbourville was announced at the Nintendo Direct, that would've been the perfect time, can you tell them that at your next meeting?
Community Manager@Beccybabe64 Agreed. I got a couple of friends getting it on Switch just for road trips and hanging out at the house. Mix it up a bit with the kids and get them interested in more fun games!
Battle For Neighbourville is one of the most fun games anyone could play, and to have all those brilliant skins and hats would be the best thing ever! Especially for us Switch players! Are you wanting the to get the Unicorn Stuffy hat for Xbox and PlayStation players aswell? And Switch of course.
