Giant Kirby Plush Comes with His Own Tasty Treats

We've seen Kirby small enough to put in a jar but this might be the biggest commercially available Kirby yet. The plush is so large, Premium Bandai is even sending his own food with him in case he needs a snack.
The "Manpuku Kirby & Manjū Set" ships one 60cm tall (about 23.5in) Kirby with a six pack of manjū (a dessert made of sticky rice flour and filled with red bean paste). The manjū mirror the stuffed Kirby's snack, a Maxim Tomato.
The giant Kirby is a little too big to fully embrace, but his soft and squishy exterior are plenty inviting. He also makes a great pillow or seat saver.
You can't sit with us
This big boy comes at a high price: 15,400 yen (US$143). Premium Bandai will ship out orders in June.
