I've found it easier to tear up tickets at 8/1 instead of 8/5.

looking at amazon.co.jp it looks like 'big' is abt 13" and 'mascot' size is the 4" keychain plush, so logically medium would be regular? the 6"ish size...?

eta: or maybe 8"??

disclaimer tho i am just camping out in this thread to admire all the plushies, i do NOT need access to being able to accumulate another obsession collection :lol:

as a fellow plush collector (some are from 20+ years ago and aside from discolouration from age, they're all in great condition)...

this thread makes me feel a lot of things, lol. we can't buy them in the states, hey?

No you have to go to either Amazon Japan, EBay or Buyee/Mercari-or have someone bring one back to you. Besides seeing a blue whale, visiting Tokyo and the racetrack and JRA store is on my bucket list.

Just looked at the shipping prices to the UK from Amazon Japan, guess I’d better start saving! :lol:

Well I saw some Japanese fans wondering the same thing on twitter.
Our guess is that they are unable to release Liberty Island's triple-tiara-version plushie because she has to wear her popular pompoms and they can't put on a tiara together. :lol:

Alright y’all if any of you are big Japanese racing fans like I am and have been dying to buy plushies I found a source! They ship quick and are reasonably priced! Check out shop-hayabusa on eBay! I bought Equinox, Orfevre, Sodashi and Liberty Island!

They have a nice selection. I do wish they would list sizes as small, medium and large.

it's kinda easy to tell Squeaky! small sized ones have a keychain holder on top. medium look... normal? :lol: and the big ones have huge heads and their eyes look more spaced out. if you want to buy any and can't tell them apart you can PM them to me and i'll help!
