German toy maker Steiff is churning out a special, high-quality Pikachu plush at a special, high-quality price.
Cheaper than the Godzilla plush Steiff made last year, the Pikachu is priced at 45,000 yen (US$367).
Steiff sold the world’s first teddy bear and its master artisans craft all its plush toys by hand.
