Tanooki Mario Cuddly Toy Anyone?

Nintendo has announced that it’s going to start selling cuddly Tanooki Mario soft toys in Japan starting from April. A small cuddly Tanooki Mario costs 1,400 yen ($18) and a medium-sized Tannoki Mario costs 2,600 yen ($34). Super Mario 3D Land was a record breaking selling game in Japan and in NA so i can see this thing selling like hot cakes! Sadly no confirmation of this being sold outside of japan but tell me even the manliest man on earth would melt for this! :3 I so want! Take that PETA!
