Kenshin plushies (release date TBA):
Each plushie will cost around $10-$13
Kenshin keychains (already released):
Each keychain will cost around $3.50-$4.50
The color looks off, but that's just the image quality, not the actual keychain.
They're very cute, aren't they? I especially like the design of the Kaoru ones.
You can buy them at aaanime.com
I'm not sure if they'll be available in any stores. I doubt you'll be able to buy them at Suncoast since they recently started to get rid of all their anime/manga stuff that aren't DVDs. Maybe Hot Topic or a bookstore may sell these.
What bothers me is that the keychain and plush look pretty much the same. I know that many people will throw a fit and rant about how the Japanese products are better, and to support the Japanase ones and not the shabbier American ones. I agree that the Japanese plushies are way better, but the problem is that they are extremely rare and expensive. If you ever actually find one for sale, it'll be up for at least $40. (Except the Megumi one. I've seen the Megumi one go for $12.99...probably because it looks stranger than the rest) If you find any other Japanese Kenshin plush for really cheap, then it's probably thebootleg version, which sucks majorly; I made the mistake of buying it, thinking it was the real one. For more information about bootleg plushies and which ones are real and which ones are fake, go to this topic on the ufocatcher.com forums. Don't be tricked into buying the bootleg!
To see the official Japanese Kenshin plushies, (they're adorable and worth looking at) go to http://www.kanegon.com/ufo/kenshin.htm
I encourage everyone to buy the American products to support the Kenshin series ^_^ And good luck if you're looking for the Japanese ones...they're way hard to find.
(edit)Poll added. So people can get gold. And because I'm curious.
