Natsume Yuujinchou: I <3 Nyanko-Sensei

A collection of Nyanko-sensei swag, for great justice.


During the break between Natsume Yuujinchou (first season) and Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou (second season), I did a feature with a lot of art of Nyanko-sensei, the maneki neko-esque cat demon that follows Natsume around and protects him, and occasionally even acts as transportation.


I'm really desperate to get my hands on the Nyanko-sensei plush (above), but with $80 to $150 price tags and preorders long since over, I think the odds of my getting one are kind of dead in the water. But there's plenty of other merch to be had...thought I'd share it. This is all, at least as far as I can tell, official merchandise, by the way.

There are I believe two pieces of flat art that aren't as clear in terms of what products they are: the tall one is a towel, and the square one is a handkerchief/hand towel. You know, there were also a lot of cushions out there-- I'd really like to see a Nyanko-sensei pillow kinda like the Ed Elric one, that'd be awesome. And I also totally want the inflatable beach ball. But what I really really need is a Nyanko-sensei plush. Or maybe something made like a beanie baby. I dunno. Hmm...

Oh god.. I would have killed for that gigantic plush.

@Sigue: SERIOUSLY.

Awesome plushie! It's huge enough to be used as a super pillow. Furry dreams!
