Big Smiling Dorayaki Plush Toy Debuts as Crane Game Prize

A New Plush Sensation: The Dorayaki Plush Toy

A pioneering move in the world of crane games is set to excite toy lovers from all walks of life. To celebrate their core philosophy of 'Creating Smiles,' Toyo Group has introduced an innovative plush toy—an oversized dorayaki measuring approximately 40 cm in diameter. This eye-catching creation is part of their exclusive 'Everyday Original Prizes' series, crafted under the expert supervision of crane game maestro Naoya Igarashi.

What Makes It Special?

The new plush toy stands out due to its whimsically designed exterior, featuring the adorable visage of the character 'Tore' from the Everyday ToreToreya Okegawa store, embroidered in a unique burnt stamp style. Not only is it visually appealing, but it also brings a fun tactile experience with its fluffy and chewy texture reminiscent of the traditional dorayaki.

Why should you consider adding this plushie to your collection? Firstly, its impressive size gives it a commanding presence in any setting, making it a solid collector's item or a comforting companion for both children and adults. Plus, the rich backstory of 'Tore' adds an additional level of charm.

Meet 'Tore'—The Whimsical Character

'Tore' is described as an alien with an interesting style. Floating effortlessly without limbs, 'Tore' substitutes traditional arms with crane-like appendages that help it pick up items and assist with tasks, such as ferrying goods in a warehouse. A variety of 'Tore' aliens have been located in five distinct colors (red, blue, green, yellow, and pink), and red 'Tore' has been identified as particularly reliable and a natural leader among its counterparts. Despite the color differences, all share the same smiling expression, a hallmark feature of 'Tore'. For an amusing visual reference, you can check out the character introduction video featured on the Everyday ToreToreya website.

Expert Supervision

The mastery behind this unique plush toy comes from Naoya Igarashi, a respected name within the crane game industry for almost 40 years. Igarashi was the first in Japan to pass the ultra-difficult 'Crane Game Master Certification, Level 1.' His expertise in designing a winning crane game experience is evident in this plush toy, crafted with precision and innovation. Igarashi has appeared on numerous platforms including YouTube and television, further solidifying his status as an expert in the field.
