Yep, no videos or scans this time, as it doesn't do anything and isn't really paper! This is a rare Temjin plush (Virtual On series- Oratorio Tangram to be precise) from 1999 Sega. This is a fairly straightforward plushie, but it's made of really weird material.
First of all, this thing is HEAVY. And I DO mean HEAVY. It weighs as much as a figure it's size (about 12") would weigh.
It's stuffed with really firm stuffing and is almost solid, except for it's ears which are generic plushie material and just droop. Problem is, they're supposed to stick up like antennas in game. Oh well, artistic integrity and all that.
The plushie itself is made up of normal plushie material, stuffing, cardboard and this weird hard felt stuff. The plushie part of it feels like dog-toy grade fabric and is very soft. The details are haphazardly cut foam and are like a rock- this thing ain't cuddly. There is cardboard in the feet to make it stand (protip- it still can't) and the few parts with detail are just transferred on like a t-shirt.
Especially due to its rarity and overall haphazard construction, I thought this was a bootleg upon purchase. However, as seen above, it has official tags- which bootlegs never do. Hmm. Someone at Sega was a little drunk during quality control. It's an awesome plushie, just really random in its materials. And not cuddly. And it has an ornament hanger loop sticking out of its head, but that's common for UFO Catcher (Japanese claw machine) plushies.
All right, next up, Virtual On CD!
