For many years, Chocobo was a bit player in the Final Fantasy games. Relegated to the supporting cast with the likes of Sabotender and Mog, Chocobo's star became ascendant on December 23, 1997. That was when Square gave the yellow bird its own vehicle on the Playstation with an adventure game titled Chocobo no Fushigi Dungeon. Sales were good which guaranteed a sequel and other games featuring Chocobo as the main character. Along with its success in video games, Chocobo became a merchandising superstar and was imprinted onto t-shirts, mugs, keychains, and of course plushes. Lots of plushes. Three more couldn't hurt so the following Chocobo plushes are in stock and shipping today:
Chocobo Santa
Tis the season for glad tidings so Chocobo puts on a red outfit and spreads the holiday cheer. Note that a little sprig of mistletoe is mounted directly on Chocobo's cap so feel free to kiss the little beast whenever you feel like it. Stare at Chocobo's stomach to check out its outie bellybutton.
Chocobo White Mage
Pimpin' ain't easy and neither is being a White Mage. Fellow party members look to a White Mage for healing spells and if he's a little too slow on the draw, someone could expire.
Chocobo Black Mage
Black Mages use magic that attacks folks with hurricane force. Chocobo looks like he couldn't hurt a fly but that boy can't hurl offensive spells with the best of them. Fear him.
