[Product Overview]

The 'Chin-anago Zaurus,' created by illustrator Suzu Minatoya, whose "yuru-kawa" (loosely cute) illustrations are a hit on social media, makes its capsule toy debut!

Is it a garden eel? A dinosaur? The 'Chin-anago Zaurus' is an amphibious, stretchable, and mysterious character that possesses the advantages of both, making it cute yet surprisingly formidable.

This character has now become a capsule-sized plush mascot. With a length of 75mm, its cuteness is doubled! It features fluffy boa fabric that you'll want to pet. Conveniently equipped with an elastic string for attaching to bags.

Available in four colors: blue, orange, green, and pink.
