Spike Chunsoft and Youtooz announced the two companies teamed up for Danganronpa Junko Enoshima and Monokuma plush toys. Pre-orders are open for both until March 4, 2025 on the official Youtooz storefront. Each one costs $29.99. Both are expected to ship sometime in August 2025.

Both the Junko and Monokuma Danganronpa plush toys will be nine inches tall. Both feature embroidery and stitching around their faces for their expressions. Junko also wears a school uniform and has bear hairclips at the tops of her pigtails that look like Monokuma. 

While both are still in development and not available yet, there are preliminary photos of both stuffed animals to give us an idea of how they’ll look when they’re released. Here's how those look:

Youtooz is well known for pop culture merchandise like figures and plush toys, so it isn’t unexpected for it to also make and sell Danganronpa products. One of the most recent announcements in 2025 was an Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Hero collection. There were also Persona 5 Tactica figures and a Dokibird figure released in 2024. 

As for other Danganronpa merchandise, Good Smile Company is continuing to release figures. Its latest is a bunny girl version of Celestia.

The Danganronpa Celestia Ludenberg bunny girl figure will launch in September 2025. Pre-orders are open until March 26, 2025. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is available on the PS4, PSP, Vita, Switch, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices.

Rabbit and Bear, 505 Games, and Youtooz announced that the companies are teaming up to turn Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes characters into plush toys. There are no details about when they’ll appear, how much they’ll cost, or what they look like. The initial hint only showed Marisa, Nowa, and Seign, the three main cast , from the back.

Here is the official teaser image from social media for the Eiyuden Chronicle characters plush toys. From left to right, we can see Marisa, Nowa, and Seign. In each case, they are wearing their traditional costumes used throughout the JRPG.

There have been a number of Eiyuden Chronicle updates since launch. For example, the Day60 patch was known for adding a number of player-requested features. There will also be the often promised DLC for Marisa, Seign, and the Elden Magicks characters. These were supposed to start showing up in 2024. However, Rabbit and Bear promised in their 2025 New Year’s messages that the add-ons are coming along and will begin to show up this year. The first one of those was supposed to follow Marisa and debut in August 2024. There is no new roap for content.

YouTooz will release a Chiitan plush. The stuffed animals based on the Japanese mascot will go on sale from 12pm PT/3pm ET on October 30, 2024.

The plush has on Chiitan’s signature hat and bowtie. It also has Chiitan’s default expression, where it has its mouth open in a wide smile and it’s looking in some distant direction. The official for Chiitan replied to YouTooz’s announcement tweet with lots of cheers, a self-introduction, praise for YouTooz, and a video of Chiitan in a skydiving simulator.

There are two versions of the plush, which are both 9” in height. One of them is normal Chiitan and the other is Crazy Chiitan. Crazy Chiitan is wielding a bloody baseball bat, and there’s blood on one side of the plush’s body. Both plushes cost $29.99 as well. Though pre-orders will open on October 30, 2024, YouTooz will ship it out some time in April 2025.

Here is the official announcement from social media, which showed both versions of the Japanese mascot:

Chiitan first appeared in 2017 as an unofficial representative for Susaki. It’s modeled after a real-life Asian small-clawed otter Chiitan, who was the honorary tourism ambassador for Susaki. The government for Susaki rejected Chiitan after complaints regarding Chiitan’s controversial and dangerous stunts, as well as its similarity to Shinjo-kun, the official mascot for Susaki. Nowadays, most people who use X (formerly known as Twitter) probably know of Chiitan, Japan’s craziest mascot. This is because the keeps buying ad space to protect other s from ads, and its replies often go viral for its positivity or chaos.

The YouTooz Chiitan plush will go on sale on October 30, 2024 and it’ll ship out some time in April 2025.
