A Special Plush Toy for a Special Anniversary
In a delightful announcement from Kamogawa Sea World, a prominent marine park located in Chiba, Japan, a new plush toy is set to light up the shelves. As part of their 55th anniversary celebrations, the park will debut the limited edition
'Teppatsu' Orca Plush Toy. This impressive plush, measuring approximately
130 cm in length and weighing around
7.2 kg, will be available for purchase from
July 19, 2025, until late March 2026.
The Meaning of 'Teppatsu'
The term
'Teppatsu' originates from a local dialect in
Minamiboso, meaning
'big'. It is often used to describe something that is excessively large, with the superlative form being
'Suterappatsu'. This plush toy has been aptly named 'Teppatsu' as it stands out due to its impressive size and weight, which, although not cheap at
88,000 yen (tax included), provides a unique take on plush toys. It’s hefty enough to leave one questioning whether they are snuggling with a toy or engaging in a mini strength training session!
Special Features of the 'Teppatsu' Orca Plush Toy
Despite being a more affordable option compared to the previous
BIG Orca Plush Toy, which measures
170 cm and weighs
12 kg at a price of
160,000 yen, this new model retains significant presence. It is designed to be a comfortable snuggle buddy, fitting snugly alongside a single bed, albeit leaving little room!
Each purchase of the 'Teppatsu' Orca comes with a special acrylic plate designed to commemorate the park's 55th anniversary, adding a unique touch to this collectible item.
The toy will be sold at various shops within Kamogawa Sea World and on their official online store,
Orca Shop. This release invites fans of marine life and plush toy enthusiasts alike to embrace the extraordinary presence of the 'Teppatsu' orca in their lives.
Comparing the Series
This plush is the second in a series following the launch of the
BIG Orca Plush Toy. While the
BIG Orca tends to dominate a small bed, the 'Teppatsu' orca brings the plush experience to the sofa, making it a fantastic companion for relaxation periods and family cuddles.
