Here’s a closer look at all the new Kirby plush characters.
San-Ei had previously released the first five plushes featuring Kirby, Gordo, Bronto Burt, Ice Dragon, and Marx in 2021. The company will also restock these plushes in March 2024, but it will raise the prices. For instance, Kirby‘s plush will go from ¥1,650 to ¥1,760.
This collection will highlight many Kirby characters other than the eponymous protagonist who has been frequently featured in recent merchandise. Good Smile Company has revealed a Pop Up Parade figure of Kirby, and its pre-orders are still open throughout February 2024. Meanwhile, Re-Ment is preparing to release the Kirby Wonder Room dioramas that also include Waddle Dee and Chef Kawasaki.
The second batch of Kirby Kororon Friends plushes will be available in Japan in mid-April 2024.
