TOYS Puyo Puyo Plushies - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» In The Puyo Puyo games from Compile/Sega, the little dropping blobs look like they'd be sticky and somewhat clammy to the touch. Jellies with big eyes tend to be sticky, squishy, cold-blooded, and thus clammy. Sanei goes against the grain by manufacturing Puyos that are squishy but un-clammy. They're satiny smooth and filled with beanies for a pleasant tactile experience when touched. Five standard 9cm-diameter Puyo Puyo plushes were released in Japan - Red Puyo, Green Puyo, Yellow Puyo, Blue Puyo, and Purple Puyo. In addition to the standard sizes, Sanei also releases a large Red Puyo which measures 40cm or 15.74" in diameter. To round out the bunch, a satiny Carbunkle plush was also released which measures 25cm or 9.84" tall from the top to its stubby feet.
