Taito revealed a new line of character plushes called Doqute Petit, and characters from the Demon Slayer series will be the first ones to be adapted. The company has also opened pre-orders for the plushes on its online store.
There will be six characters featured in this lineup. They will be Tanjiro Kamado, Kyojuro Rengoku, Giyu Tomioka, Tengen Uzui, Muichiro Tokito, and Sanemi Shinazugawa. Each plush will have the same price tag of 19,800 yen (~$125). The plushes in this line will have an approximate total height of around 60 cm (~23.62 inches).
Here are the sample images for each character plush:
These new Petit plushes will be more accessible and affordable than Taito’s prior products. The company had previously released the regular giant-sized Doqute plushes of Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, Zenitsu, Kyojuro, and Shinobu in July 2023. These plushes were over 1 meter (~39.37 inches) tall and priced at a whopping 66,000 yen (approximately $417 with the exchange rate as of mid-July 2024). People also only had around a week to place orders for these plushes on March 13-19, 2023.
The Demon Slayer anime series is still ongoing as it catches up with the original manga that had concluded in 2020. The fourth TV anime season that covered the Hashira Training arc had run in May-June 2024. Ufotable is working on a new trilogy of movies that will cover the subsequent Infinity Castle arc.
Taito will close the pre-order period for the made-to-order Demon Slayer Doqute Petit plushes on August 26, 2024. The company will ship the finished products in January 2025.
