Do you remember Yosuke Hanamura's persona from the Atlus RPG Persona 4? The persona, Jiraiya, was a lanky, cape-wearing wind user with camoflauge-tipped bell bottoms. So, you know, a normal Persona design.
The plushie version of Jiraiya, now featured on the Japanese Atlus "D" shop, looks nothing like its in-game form. Well, it kind of does, but probably closer resembles a space-age Mickey Mouse robot clone with a boomerang bling and stars for eyes. But at least he's still got his camo-tipped pants. Siliconera tells us that you can nab the plush Jiraiya for 2,980 yen ($30) in Japan.
Jiraiya joins the cooler looking Izanagi, released earlier. I, of course, want these both. And this Jack Frost umbrella.

Kinda cool, but I'm not really liking the shiny vinyl on the plushie.
Also, I want a Mr. Morooka plushie.
I want a chibi-Iori plush from P3, though. Junpei's gotta be one of my favorite RPG characters ever.
