Our various samurai animals are the offshoot of a special order for 2 samurai lions some years ago. We then made a couple of samurai cats, named Ieysu and Hideoshi after famous warlords. We have also made Toshiba and Mitsubitchi, a pair of shiba inus, as a friend's wedding present, so we probably won't be using those names again.
Then the compulsion to pun took over. Mousashi ... Bunnihana ... Ratshomon ... Mickeymoto ... Tomkatsu ... Yojimbear. The series is limited until I can come up with more suitable names. We only want to make samurai of animals that actually live in Japan, and can sustain a suitably awful pun.
Stuffe & Nonsense Stuffemal plush dolls and animal character figures are original soft sculpture designs, individually hand crafted in California by the Stuffe Staff. While we do have some stuffemals on hand, we usually make them on order, so delivery time for your plush doll will be two to eight weeks. Construction and material details vary depending on our design goals for the character involved and the materials on hand. The plush figures are constructed of mohair, wool, alpaca or high-quality synthetic faux fur. Clothing and costume are also hand-made by Stuffe & Nonsense; jewelry and props are from diverse sources. Stuffe & Nonsense Stuffemals often use glass eyes or small parts and are not suitable for young children.
