12/19/2023 0 Comments Best kirby plush![]() ![]() Kirby is much, much bigger than an Amiibo (or a Nendoroid) and I’m pretty confident he would be bigger than a Figma or 6″ figure too. Size Comparison – If you haven’t owned a plush before or seen many in stores, it is surprising how affordable they are for their size. If it looks like it is official Kirby and Nintendo merchandise then that is probably a good sign. One of the best ways to check is the tag. From what I understand, there are a lot of fake plush out there, especially anything that is low-priced and from China so if you buy something like this, do make sure you’re getting the real thing because collectors will always want that over a counterfeit. Kirby does have a hook so he could be hung up (probably mostly used in retail stores) and he has a tag. That is not a seam and almost looks like a cut or a mistake in the fabric. My biggest complaint is the “scar” on the side of Kirby’s face near the eye. While simple, they look great and help bring the character to life. All of his face has threaded features almost like a patch which actually reminds me a bit of the art style in Kirby’s Epic Yarn and Yoshi’s Woolly World. While Kirby obviously does not have any of these in any video game and they are somewhat noticeable, they are something you have to live with and the more I look at this Kirby, the more accepting of them I am.ĭetails – Even with the seams, Kirby still has nice details. Kirby has quite a lot and almost reminds me of the stitching on a basketball. One thing that a figure collector may find difficult to accept are the seam lines on a plush. That makes it easy to want to touch this Kirby. Because Kirby doesn’t have fur or long hair, the texture is a soft and gentle feeling for lack of a better way to put it. Texture – It is easy to imagine that Kirby is soft even though that has never been declared by Nintendo to my knowledge and this plush lets you experience that firsthand. It doesn’t hurt that Kirby looks ready to give you a hug which is kind of the point of a plush/stuffed animal too (in my opinion anyway!). While it isn’t a perfect representation of Kirby, having a Kirby that will sit perfectly on your shelf is great and a trade-off I will gladly make. The gift was a total surprise and reviewing it was a fun challenge so I hope you enjoy reading this.ĭesign – How do you take a circle and make it into something that can stand up on its own? That was the challenge San-ei faced with Kirby and the way they solved the problem is to make Kirby’s a little less of a perfect circle and to make the bottom of his feet completely flat so it rests on the ground easily. After getting this adorable Kirby for Valentine’s Day, I thought why not take a closer look and see if this is something someone who only collects figures would recommend to others. I have talked about plush in several Figure Buying Guides but never actually reviewed any before. With a break in all of the new announcements and the wait for Zelda Amiibo still dragging along, I thought it is a great time to review something new and of interest to Nintendo fans. ![]()
