QST17. What is a UFO Plush Doll?
ANSWR. In Japan, video game/anime plush dolls can only be attained through winning raffles or through an UFO Catcher (Claw) Crane. Unlike the American-style plush crane with three prongs, the Japanese style has only two prongs with a spaceship look-alike on top which even lights up like a UFO! These machines contains not only high quality plush dolls but anime figures, keychains, etc. The term "UFO Catcher Plush" derives from the "UFO" spaceship in the machine trying to "catch" the plush dolls. UFO Catcher Cranes are found ONLY in Japan, making the plush dolls a very popular collectible in other countries.


QST18. How should I care for my plush?
ANSWR. Plush should only be handled by adults or responsible children and not to be treated like toys. I strongly recommend against handling it violently, pulling on parts, leaving it in direct sunlight, or setting it anywhere where it may be damaged unintentionally. Do NOT machine-wash. I am not responsible for any damage that may occur to it, and am not responsible for buyer's neglect of the plush.


QST19. What is a mascot plush?
ANSWR.A mascot plush is a character that is sewn into an animal costume. The animal costume can be a single solid color or an animal print pattern (leopard, tiger, zebra, etc) and comes with a removable hood. Please take a look at the Gallery for images of such plushies. ***Please note that mascot plushies have HUMANOID head structures sewn into a SITTING animal COSTUME.***
