MONCHHICHI - Sailor - Plush 20cm

This soft toy from the contemporary range by the original manufacturer, Sekiguchi, features the sweet, comforting and indispensable childhood companion before he became a household name: the authentic and iconic Monchhichi dressed in a little sailor’s outfit.

The soft toy features the stylised features and proportions typical of traditional models, with its distinctive vinyl head and hands. This model comes in its classic design, standing approximately 20 cm tall, designed to ensure a perfect grip and great comfort. The design captures the famous character’s appearance at a specific moment, dressed in his simple, soft and removable sailor’s outfit, comprising his striped sailor’s shirt and matching hat. The sculpting of the rigid parts pays meticulous attention to the character’s physical features, conveying his innocence, determination and stocky, modern build. The finishing touches respect the contrasting colours and flocked texture of her fur to illustrate the personality of this demanding playmate, capable of putting her dummy or thumb in her mouth.

This officially licensed collectable soft toy is primarily aimed at pop culture nostalgics, enthusiasts of this universe and collectors of the historic Japanese brand. The item is supplied in its original display packaging, ideal for showcasing it whilst keeping it protected.

Inspired by the intergenerational universe created in Japan in 1974 by the Sekiguchi company, Monchhichi (historically known in France as Kiki) is a small creature of woodland origin who has spent much of his life pursuing a single goal: to spread happiness, love and finding a place in the hearts of families all over the world. Raised with respect and kindness, this little anthropomorphic monkey grows up amidst the challenges of his innocent daily life, learning to hide his little fears behind themed costumes — such as that sweet sailor’s outfit — to develop extraordinary strength of character in the face of children’s sorrows. Guided by his own moral values and an unwavering quest for comfort, he strives to accompany each generation through their moments of togetherness. This marks the beginning of a demanding yet reassuring presence across the ages, where this big-hearted companion uses his determination to navigate through the ages, becoming the indispensable cuddly toy that helps maintain balance and warmth within the family.
