I gotta say I actually dig these plushies... Probably more than I like the "old"/Japanese plushies...

They look really cute, yes! Weed at least, the one on the left hasn't been announced yet (I guess Hougen).

They confirm they have the rights to the copyright of Ginga, hence why they can make the plushies (in a really nice size and quality, too) and posters legally. The fact they are currently working on international shipping but have to ask permission first makes me know they're legit, otherwise they'd be trying to sell these on ebay to any country without hesitation if they were just bootleggers or some custom shop. It makes sense since Ginga is solely working in profits with Finland. I commend them for the quality they put into the plushie, it looks really sturdy but huggable and I like its proportions way better than the Japanese ones. It looks much cuter to me; I might get one if they're around $40. When they were asking people what estimate they thought was fair, pretty much no one in the comments said anything above 50 euros was reasonable (one person even said no plushie is worth as much as the Japanese ones are priced unless they're threaded with pure gold and silver ) so I'm glad these will be available to more fans and actually seem to help with Ginga merchandise as opposed to people just being greedy and trying to price each plushie at $500-1000 frigging bucks. The one thing I'm not 100% on is the eye shape is just a plain circle and not really in that... 'anime style' of the puppy eyes? I don't even know what that'd be called, but it doesn't look bad at all, I'm just nitpicking, Weed's still adorable and I like that they gave him silver fur (even though I don't mind the blue as long as it's not ridiculously bright). That second plushie better be Hougen, but I'm guessing it's maybe GB? Honestly, whenever I have the money and if they can sell internationally, I'd be totally down with getting maybe one or two, depending on if they have my favorite characters. It'd be cool if people who purchase them do some videos for reviews to show off their quality, too. I just hope this company can avoid people who will buy them and just try to resell them to idiots on ebay for $500 bucks. You know people will buy them at that price if the seller lies that it's a super rare version of the Japanese plushie or something

I clicked the image with a sigh of "ugh, another set of ugliness" but holy crap, that plushie is actually really nice! It looks more like baby Gin though, because of the silverish fur while Weed has always been so, so blue. If they'll make a character I really like then I might even want one!

I was a bit disapointed that the "Weed" plush is so grey... Weed is blue on every colored pic (even if I like this colouring better in fact) But if they make the same one with Gin (just adding scars), I must buy !

I found out about these a few days ago as well... and you better believe that I want one. The Weed plushie is really cute and the only thing that I was kind of disappointed with was not having the blue fur color since it makes him less recognizable (he does kind of look like a young Gin with the fur color they used). Also yeah, I'm guessing that the other one is Hougen based on what we can see in the picture (totally wouldn't mind a GB plushie either though, just saying). But yeah, overall these already look worlds better than the Japanese ones IMO and the price seems fair considering that they probably won't be overly mass-produced. I do hope that they're able to work out something for international shipping though (any Finnish members willing to help a brother out if they don't lol?) Also it would be cool if they end up doing more characters.

Yes, I was surprised to see a silver Weed but I must admit that these are way better than the original japanese ones, even the quality, how the plushies are made looks way better, they look more resistant and soft And you don't seem to sell off a kidney and a couple of femurs to get one lol 40$ is a lot more affordable price! The other one is Hougen indeed, they've just revealed another piece of the photo and you can see the face markings of Hougen and his scars. A villian plushie, how interesting! : D As I know, there are 8 total, 2 are already out and I'm curious to see what the other ones will be!

Oh jeez, I can see this putting a drain on my wallet if the international shipping comes through. It would be great to have a nice set of Ginga plushies for an affordable price though. Especially since I'm not really a fan of the Japanese ones anyway. I could see myself splurging for one of each if they all look as good as Weed.

As I know, there are 8 total, 2 are already out and I'm curious to see what the other ones will be! I'm torn between "only eight?" and "why so many?" I'm guessing GB, Kagetora, Ken, Akame, and John are going to be in the mix. And when everyone expects the last one to be Gin, then they reveal it to be... Sasuke. That's how it would go if Yoshi was in charge, y'all know it.
