Update: February 12, 2007
«©NCSX» The rascals from Animal Crossing have endured a spate of merchandising deals over the past year and Banpresto pushes their way into the AXing space one more time. The sleepy-eyed Tanukichi aka Tom Nook leads a quintet of plush figures which measure 16cm or 6.29" tall and are made of soft and lightweight material. Cradle the whole gang of them in your arms and you still wouldn't be exerting yourself.

NCS Product Notes
Some color on the five plushes:Tanukichi
Our favorite raccoon wears a blue apron with trademark acorn design on front which wraps around his waist and terminates somewhere inside his plush backside. A stubby tail protrudes from Tanukichi's posterior and pinkish pads may be seen on his palms. Under his right arm is a Louis Vuitton bag. Sort of.
Most of Tanukichi is made of plush material but the tops of his ears and the tip of his nose is made of plastic for a contrast in feel when running your hands all over the shopkeeper. Daruman
Stout and seemingly oblivious to the fact that his flimsy "Z" shirt barely covers his bulging belly. Mr. Resetti
The best plush of the lot. Shaped like a corpulent bullet and angrier than any Tarantino-scripted mongrel, Resetti has earned a place in NCS' permanent plush collection which sits under glass. We haven't investigated pumping the air out of the display cases yet but give us a few years and we'll look into it. Resetti sports six thick whiskers which sprout from his snout and his wide-eyed demeanor puts Domokun to shame. A somewhat shiny headlamp made of felt is glued to the top of Resetti's forehead - some may mistake the concentric circles for a target. Bianca
Pretty blue eyes, green highlights, and a short purple dress decorated with daisies. Any self respecting manimal would be all over that. Bianca's nose is made of a shiny plastic pebble but her feet look a lot like hooves. Green hooves. Bouquet
We also know Bouquet as "Sweet Purple" since "Hot Legs" didn't really stick. Bouquet wears a dress that screams 70's chic and rosy apples dot both sides of her face. This document is ©NCSX 2007.
