This toy is part of the Mechamofugutto line of plushes from Banpresto. Dolls from it include the Haro from Gundam GQuuuuuuX and a Pikachu from PokePeace. They’re large, soft plushes that just entice you to hug them. Here's a closer look at the item: Images via Banpresto Katamari first came out in 2004 with Katamari Damacy. They’re puzzle-action games in which you control The Prince, who helps his father, the King of All Cosmos, re-create the stars and planets by rolling up objects using the Katamari ball. You must get the ball to a certain size within a timeframe, and other puzzles might introduce limits or rules, such as avoiding specific objects. The Katamari toy will appear in Bandai Namco's Bandai Spirits crane game machines around Japan from April 24, 2025. Katamari Damacy Rolling Live, the latest entry in the long-running series, is an Apple Arcade exclusive, and it came out on April 3, 2025.
