This is a non-sale model Monchhichi with a "TAKARA Premium" tag. Regular Monchhichis have five fingers on each hand and foot, but this one has the rare four-finger design. It was manufactured as a prize item at the time, and I believe it's a highly valuable item. Monchhichi is a popular stuffed animal series that originated in Japan from the Sekiguchi company in 1974 (Showa 49). They are characterized by their pacifier pose, with fingers in their mouth, and freckles, as seen in the image. They became a huge hit both domestically and internationally immediately after their release. Features of Monchhichi: Hybrid Construction: The face is made of a doll-like material (soft vinyl), and the body is made of plush, a very innovative combination for toys at the time. History: They were popular in the 1970s and 80s, and their popularity spread overseas. Sales resumed in Japan in 1996, and they continue to be loved worldwide today. Size: Approximately 17cm
