The slim, sleek Chocobo that populate the Final Fantasy world may be much better for covering long distances and racing, but as far as cuddling goes, Fat Chocobo might take the cake.
Luckily, for those who have been anxiously awaiting the chance to snuggle up next to a chubby bird, Square Enix‘s Fat Chocobo plush is officially up for pre-order from a variety of retailers.
The plush measures 270 mm wide (about 10.6 in) and 430 mm tall (about 16.9 in), and is retailing for 6,800 yen (about US$66.28). It is scheduled to ship in September.
