Japanese manufacturer Fukuya (フクヤ), a company specializing in plush toys, is set to collaborate with the classic anime "Ranma 1/2" for its mofunui series, renowned for its impressive 50cm scale. The partnership will bring two new plush items: "Ranma 1/2 x mofunui Saotome Genma (Panda Form)" and "P-chan." Each plush will retail for 11,000 JPY and is slated for release in late July 2022!
Rumiko Takahashi's beloved romantic comedy manga "Ranma 1/2," which first debuted in 1987, holds a nostalgic spot in the hearts of many who grew up in the 80s and 90s. Its witty and hilarious plot, coupled with beautifully designed characters, solidified its status as one of Takahashi's most iconic works.
These new "Ranma 1/2 x mofunui Saotome Genma (Panda Form)" and "P-chan" plush blanket products offer more than just their substantial 50cm size and soft, cuddly feel. Each plush features a hidden zipper on its back, revealing a mofumofu mini-blanket adorned with a "Ranma 1/2" themed design. The blanket can even be secured to the plush's hands with buttons, allowing you to hug your favorite character while wrapped in its cozy warmth!

Saotome Genma is Ranma's father and the inaugural master of the Anything-Goes Martial Arts Saotome School. While training with Ranma in Jusenkyo, he accidentally fell into the "Spring of the Drowned Panda," cursing him to transform into a panda whenever splashed with cold water. Unable to speak in his panda form, he famously communicates using a series of written signs, a hilarious and iconic character trait.
Ryoga Hibiki, who followed Ranma to China for a duel, unfortunately tumbled into Jusenkyo's "Spring of the Drowned Piglet." This cursed him to transform into an adorable black piglet whenever he comes into contact with cold water. Upon returning to Japan, he coincidentally became the pet of the main heroine, Akane Tendo, who affectionately named him "P-chan."
