Years and years ago, I discovered San-X and their cute characters on a website and fell in love with the cute simple style. I planned which ones I would get when I had the money. But by the time I was able to order, one of the three I had wanted, a cute slouchy Tarepanda, was sold out! Years later, Tokyo Otaku Mode released new Tarepanda plushies! My dream of having my own sweet lazy panda had come true! Tarepanda is the perfect cuddly friend. He's soft and squishy, very well-made, and has beans in his belly for weight. He's very cute, from his embroidered face to his little nubby tail!
