Top Ten Things I Want as Plushies
Posted by 0rion on December 14th, 2007 - 10:30 pm
In celebration of the true Christmas spirit (i.e. mindless consumerism), I was pondering what manner of gifts I could ask Santa for. Unfortunately, I don’t really collect figures or other miscellaneous anime merchandise. I do, however, have something of a soft spot for cute plushies.
Yeah plushies, you heard me. Shut up; stop snickering. I love my Mokonas. And I’m still more manly than the combined cast of Gundam 00. 
Sadly, most of the things I want as plushies either don’t exist, or aren’t available yet. D:
Thus, in the hopes that Santa Claus will take pity and have his elves craft a couple just for me, I present to you my Christmas Top 10 Plushie Wish List:
10. Shana-tan
Pros: Aborably cute and cuddly, will eat melonpan on your head and shout “Uruchai!”
Cons: Liable to stab you in your sleep, will eat melonpan on your head and shout “Uruchai!”
9. Tama-chan
Tamaki’s O_O face never fails to crack me up. Besides, she’s naturally cuddly and soft, so a plushie would be the logical next step.
Barring that, I’d probably be happy with a Kirino plushie as well. Nekoguchi ftw! :3
8. Teru Teru Bouzu Chiaki-sama
Man, I’d love to have one of these! Ideally it would come with a string and a hook, so you could hang it above your window and wish for sunny days!
It would probably work fine as a figure as well, I suppose. As Kabitzin pointed out, you could have all your other figures/plushies gather around her praying for good weather. 
7. Exia
Because real men cuddle Gundams! HUERRGH! Now with intense emocry action!
Too bad it’s not Virtue; then you could have amazing gay transformation action too!
Just kidding, I don’t really want one of those. >_>
6. Boota
The adorable sunglasses wearing, self-sacrificing mascot of the Gurren-dan would make for a great plushie! I could just sit him next to me on my desk and feel the spiral power flowing as I kick writer’s block to the curb and pierce the heavens with my blogging!
Also, potential Yoko cosplayers, take note. A Boota plushie could be just the costume accessory your cosplay needs to stand out from the crowd.
P.S. - Please, for the love of Haruhi-sama, though, please don’t attempt that cosplay unless you’re like super hot. Nuff’ said. >_>
5. Densuke
Forget Pound Puppies or whatever, Densuke is all I need! Especially if you could also get some of Amasawa’s little tribble minions to hang out with him; it would be a great combo.
4. Lucky Star Cat Blob
Do want. I mean, seriously. I even hate cats, and I’d still love to have one of these as a plushie. I mean it’s basically a pillow with ears and a tail. And Konata eyes; that’s a very important detail, as well.
Maybe to complete the package, make it like a Tickle Me Elmo, except of instead of giggling moronically, it yawns. 
3. Mischievous Dango
This little tsundere guy would go great with my Mokona collection.
I don’t know that I could handle a hundred of them (gotta catch ‘em all?), but I certainly wouldn’t mind a few different dangos to add to my collection. Baby dango too, maybe?
2. Guchuko
Might be a little hard to do the hair justice, but either way, this would still be an epic plushie. I mean, Guchuko’s fuzzy appearance just begs for it. It would be the most huggable plushie ever invented by mankind. How could you resist?
Why is no one making these? They would sell like hotcakes. Actually, they would sell so fast even the hotcakes would feel embarrassed. So far the closest thing we’ve gotten is one intrepid handicrafter who made her own.
1. Aspergillus Oryzae-tan
What can I say? I’m completely, hopelessly addicted to Moyashimon, and the little chibi microbes are the most incredibly adorable thing I have seen in approximately ever.
I want buy a whole pack of Oryzae-tans, stick them all over me so they’re peeking out from behind my head and shoulders. I could go for an A. Niger or an Aokabi too, for that matter. Heck, just give ‘em all to me.
Whenever I drink sake, I can look at them and say, “Thanks guys! Kamosu zo!!”
Fortunately, although I won’t be able to get one in time for Christmas, Moyashimon plushies are in the works and will be available for sale coming soon.
So what do you guys think? Agree with any of the choices? Any other important candidates that I missed?
Mokona?? HYUU~
Also, Potemayo > Guchiko! Even though I’m like the only one who thinks so…… ;_;
MOYASHIMON Plushies!!! I want some
They’re so cute !
What? No love for Oyaji?

@ Sagacious C
Haha, yeah good call about Oyaji!
I’d still go for a Densuke first, though.
Hey here’s a 1:1 scale of Potemayo getting released… probably Guchuko will follow.
I agree with most of these except Densuke. That dog is fugly!
From the list, I’ll take Shana-tan, Teru Teru Bouzu Chiaki-sama and the Lucky Star cat blob anytime
I’ll even take a dozen Chiaki-sama plushies just so I can reach out for one anywhere in my house whenever I need the rain to stop, especially since its ALWAYS raining in this region
@ Kabitzin
You make me sad.
Come
PatsyDensuke.For me personally, I could advocate the entire microbe cast of Moyashimon being made into adorably cuddly plushies.
Additionally, (though these might already be in existence) I would love a Kodoma plushie. (the little tree fellows from Princess Mononoke)
I would also appreciate a Gurren Lagann plushie. That way I could be fearless and intimidating even in my sleep. It would also be necessary for said plushie to shout, “Pierce the Heavens!” and “Who the hell do you think I am!!?” when you pulled the the string.
As far as Shana goes I’d much prefer a Margery Daw or Marcocious plushie.
I always imagined any kind of Densuke toy being squidgy so that you can pull his face about like Kyoko does.
You know you can’t just have one Moyashimon plushy. You have to have hundred to fill your room, lol.
I DON’T SEE THE WEIGHTED COMPANION CUBE.
Moyashimon needs the entire range of microbes to be plushiefied, 1:1 scale would be proper. I can imagine the entire cast lining my table, and it makes me giddy at the thought.
Win for the Lucky Star blob cat and the Dango
I so want a Guchuko plushie, that would be the ultimate gift lol.
I’m surprised Ume-sensei (the metapod thing in Hidamari Sketch) isn’t on your list.
I want a Giga Drill plushie. The fun of gigantic drill-weapons without danger of impalement. Or maybe Chamo from Negima!, complete with a cigarette and a pair of Asuna’s panties. As for stuff they’d actually make, I want all the Moyashimon plushies. 20 of each. And some of the e. coli, too. Wait, I think that may be the first time anyone has asked for a dangerous disease.
@ Karura
Hehe, maybe Densuke should also come with a set of washable markers so you can tag him up like Kyoko, too.
@korosora
But you can already get a Plush Weighted Companion Cube!
Well, or at least you could if they weren’t completely sold out. T_T

@ Owen
Yes, little tiny 1:1 scale (Sawaki scale, of course) Moyashimon plushies would be the perfect size to get a whole slew of them to sit all over your desk.
@ TheBigN
Man, it’s been so long since I watched Hidamari Sketch that I had forgotten about that. I agree though, Ume-sensei would definitely make for a great plushie.
@ J
I like your Giga Drill plushie idea, for sheer irony if nothing else. All the fun of rushing full speed at someone while shouting “GIGA DRILL BREAKAAAAAR!!”, while also providing something to cushion the impact. >_>
Honiiiiii~ Guchuko pl00sh = WANT. D:
I pretty much would buy all of those plushies. Except the gundam, gay transformation sequence or no.
I so want an Uro-san pl00sh, from Mushishi, though. D: Or just a random squiggly mushi. I don’t care what it looks like. ;_;
I would seriously buy a Densuke plush, and I hate plushies almost as much as figurines. They’re usually malformed, inaccurate looking monstrosities that are the figureheads of Cash-In Merchandise. A decent Densuke would sit proudly next to Jorge, the grumpy-looking rhino I bought from Edinburgh Zoo.
I WANT A MOKONA PLUSH!
I lol’d @ the Gundam plushies…
Teru Teru Bouzu Chiaki-sama… My god I love that show.
Someone needs to make a flash game out of the friggen awesome game in episode 4 - Ninomiya-kun and Sensei.
If I could make a Plushie… I think top of my list would be Guu, and you could open her mouth and store stuff inside, like a backpack! You’d never see it again… but you could store it there.
