Kirby is one of gaming's most adorable and fan-favorite mascots. The cute pink puffball is a delight in his games that span 28 years. Additionally, Kirby is a character that can be found on merchandise all over, thanks to his popularity and charm. A new Kirby item has just been made available for pre-order, and it is both charming and surprising.
Premium Bandai has just unveiled a new Kirby plush, perfect for hugging and cuddling with. Premium Bandai sells everything from Gundam action figures to Digimon Digivices. The items often go above and beyond, and that is the case with this Kirby plush. Not only is it pink, round, and snuggly, the Kirby plush heats up via a USB connection.
Premium Bandai posted a tweet on its Twitter page revealing the new warm Kirby plush. The post shows a couple of images of the plush, talks about how it can be warmed via the USB, and informs readers that pre-orders are now live. According to the website, the device will cost about $52 USD. The Kirby plush will be ready in 2021. Premium Bandai also released a Kirby lootbox earlier this year, a box filled with rare Kirby products, toys, and collectibles.
As far as the Kirby plush goes, it heats up in just 30 seconds using the USB port. It warms up to a temperature of about 107 degrees Fahrenheit, which seems like a toasty and comfortable temperate for relaxing. Even if the idea seems odd at first, an adorable, soft, and warm Kirby plush seems like something that would be calming and comforting to sleep with, work with, and more.
This is not the first unique piece of Nintendo merchandise, and it will surely not be the last. Earlier this year, a gigantic Snorlax plush became available for pre-order. The Snorlax is so big that it can literally be slept on, as the Pokemon lays in his iconic lethargic position. Nintendo sells clothes, backpacks, and toys to go alongside its classic games, but the outside the box items based on its mascots and characters are extra fun.
With all of the Pokemon out there, Link, Donkey Kong, and even Mario himself, Kirby still manages to hold his own as one of Nintendo's most lovable mascots. He is extremely marketable, as even restaurants team up with Kirby for packaging and decorations. It's simply hard to say anything negative about something as cute as Kirby.
