It certainly seems the most common item of Japan to be photographed is the large plush selection. For some reason it seems like plushes were easy to get outside of the country, or many were sold over the internet to non-Japan areas. They're also well-photographed and were apparently made in a large enough quantity that collectors can still collect them, even after all of this time. Once again, this page will feature both vintage and modern Japanese plushes.

Here's a better/closer look at the Sonic Adventure 1 Tails plush. You've seen it before in a group on other pages of Gear, but now you can get a nice look at the quality. There's a reason these dolls are so expensive...they were large, well made, had good detail & quality materials. Also being done in Japan, they were harder to get a hold of outside the country. Being rather expensive to start with also contributes to the rarity. Photo & owned by Or@ange Unicorn1984

Here's the SA1 plush line's Eggman, he looks great in his detailed coat, 3D goggles, big mustache & soft, quality material. He's also proportional, mostly, & the shoes even have heels! He's quite uncommon. Photo & owned by Or@ange Unicorn1984

Here's a good look at Big the Cat, complete with his sandles, and nicely detailed fishing pole. Look at how well the tail ends, as well as the 'hair like' spike things on the back of his head. They didn't miss a single buckle, & he's pretty proportional as well. The tag seen there (cloth tag) should be the same for the whole line. Photo & owned by Or@ange Unicorn1984

The rare & expensive big chao plushes! These guys appear elsewhere as well, but this photo provides a great look at all sides. Neutral chao is from SA1 (see tag) while the Hero & Dark are SA2 Battle, and would have had the split tag. With these photos you can see the clear plastic that holds up the halo, the nice light yellow wings, and the fun 'devil type' arrow tail on the Dark chao. These chao are great! It's too bad they're quite so costly. Photos by SonicTeam

Here are some great shots of the SA 1 plush Knuckles. You can see they got his details worked in quite well, everything from the bolts on his shoes, to the way his spikes aren't out of proportion/lay right on his head. Like the rest of the line, he's a tad chubby, but it doesn't wreck the look. With these photos you can see the texture on the quality, soft fabric that was used. A great line, but too bad they're rather rare. Photo & owned by Or@ange Unicorn1984

Here, you can see the location & size for the paper and cloth (tush) tags of the SA 1 plushes.

The back of the tag is really quite detailed, loaded with copyright & company info (all in Japanese) The front has all of the initial SA 1 re-design character stock art, for all the dolls from the line. Photo & owned by Or@ange Unicorn1984

SA1 Sonic has already been displayed, so this recap is here to show some of the not-yet-covered angles, such as direct back (spikes look nice!) & the good construction/detail on his shoes. Photo & owned by Or@ange Unicorn1984

You've seen this 'clothing doll' Sonic in a compilation photo elsewhere on these plush pages, but here, you can get a nice close up. This is "Hapi Coat Sonic" and he was a UFO prize you could grab. Obviously that's a Hapi Coat that he's got on, but what's that Kanji on the back? Why does he need a headband? The belt is shown to be a ribbon (from the back) while the headband is tied with a knot. He's uncommon because of the UFO prize status, but also because the get-up is kind of obscure unless you're in Japan. Photo discovered by Hali66
