Many people like to say that Fumos from Touhou are the most popular kind of plushies for otaku, and while that is true, we can’t deny that, arguably, the most popular plushies collected by otakus are none other than Pokémon plushies. Pokémon plushies aren’t just beloved. They are worldwide phenomoms that have become a collector favorite not just among otakus, but for everyone. As someone who has a good amount of Pokémon plushies, including numbers, experience, and memories, I enjoy collecting them, and I am well familiar with the feeling of collecting so many. The thing is, however, I haven’t really been collecting plushies lately as I’ve been working on collecting other type of franchise based merchandise like figures and model kits for example. The last time, up until this year, I bought plushies was back in fall of 2018. Now, nearly seven years later, plush collecting has returned, and, once again, its Pokémon. What a better way to return then to start with our favorite video game juggernaut, eh? First, it was the sleeping Pikachu. Now, its Snorlax.

Here we have our beloved fat adorable Pokémon who is known to sleep and eat only. Snorlax, also known as Kabigon in Japanese, is a massive and beloved fan favorite among many Pokémon fans. Snorlax is also one of the most well known Pokémon ever in franchise history. Cute, fat, adorable, big, lazy, you name it. Snorlax has a strong following, and tons of merchandise have featured a Snorlax. This plush here from Jazwares is a prime example. This plush, for me, isn’t just an amazing plush… It’s a plush for the ages… Well sized, soft, big, and good texture… In fact, I am so darn in love with this plush, that, have to ask myself? Is this the best plush ever…? Let’s find out?
