Y-shirt Akira plushie can be stripped! :D
First revealed during Wonderfest 2010 Summer, we now know that Y-shirt Akira is going to break another record of being the first male-character plushie that can be stripped naked!
Oh~ Nitro+Chiral, you guys are the best! XD After giving one-coin chibi Y-shirt Akira his own tiny-pee pee, you’re making such a cute plushie version of him again!
I wonder if they made his little bits for his plushie too? lol~ Well, I sure hope they did! :D
Here’s a shot where his little ass is revealed, wearing the apron from another Nitro+Chiral x Gift Plushie Super Sonicko.
The new plushies, Y-shirt and Military versions will go on early sale during an Animate Japan event on 9~10 October 2010.
Event: Animate Girls Festival 2010 (アニメイトガｰルズフェスティバル2010)
Date: 9-10 October 2010
Official site: http://www.animate.co.jp/special/GirlsFestival/
Mmm… but don’t panic yet cos so far there isn’t any mention if these cuties are exclusives or limited editions or not since their goods page is not updated yet. I’ll update this post if I find out anything else. However, I think it is highly unlikely that they’ll be exclusives, judging from Gift’s past plushie releases. So far, they have not made any plushie exclusive yet.
Price of plushies have not been revealed but we can expect a range from 2800~3500 Yen :) So keep your wallets ready cos I expect these cuties will probably be open for preorder mid-October!

Awwwww! He is sooooo cute! I hope I can find him and buy him. Seriously who can deny that face?! So Goodsmile Online is the only place I can find him possibly? Or is there any other?
@Fenri: Yeah but unfortunately, he is Gift online store exclusive so most of us had to go through a proxy buyer to get him. He should be available in auction sites like ebay too but usually at a premium price.
Hello~
Do you know any site that is still selling the y-shirt akira? :D
@plup: Nope… only Goodsmile online store. They usually do reissues after a while, so watch out for it.
I was just wondering…Do you think the Gift festival November 28th will have the new line of Togainu Plushies? I know the store is out of stock, so would they still have them for events?
@Nagara9: Hmm… about two more weeks till the event so they may have more stock by then. It’s possible! :O
OMG!! Those three plushies are to adorable i want to squeeze them!O///O
Y-shirt Akira i think is the best looking gift plush so far~♥

Yes! They’re so unbelievable cute, I just can’t wait to have them all, and hug them all! XDDDDDD Really want them to be pre-ordered at traditional shops like AmiAmi, HS, CDJapan etc, not some Gift site or Animate only!
