Giant microbe plushies, anime plush toys, video game dolls. The standard in America was always the teddy bear in plush toys, but the increasing influence of Japanese culture on the United States has given rise to more unique and dynamic plush toys. What began at amusement parks and carnivals with a Mario or Sonic seen here or there has become a online influx carried on by the special cultural interest groups. Above is a picture of plush microbes in a special petri dish container that is sold by thinkgeek.com. Other online vendors include yukariskawaiishop.com (kawaii being the japanese equivalent to cuteness) and gambattletoys.multiply.com.
