It’s wonderful to see the 35th Anniversary continuing to bring us brand new official merchandise. Between the upcoming game, graphic novel, home video announcements, and now a full-size plush line, there’s never been a better time to be a Samurai Pizza Cats fan. 🐱🍕

Which one would you bring home first?

Personally, I feel my first purchase is going to be Polly. Provided Francine doesn’t become available any time soon. 💚

Big news coming out of Anime Frontier this weekend!

Rimi Star Production has begun publicly teasing new Samurai Pizza Cats plush prototypes, including Guido and Francine.

The plushies were physically present at the Rimi Star booth, but notably censored/blurred in official social media posts, strongly suggesting that licensing approval or final reveal clearance is still in progress.

Key takeaways:

• In addition to the Speedy and Polly prototypes, we now know that Guido and Francine plush prototypes also exist.

• They are far enough along to be shown at a convention

• Public imagery through RimiStar social media is being deliberately obscured, likely due to pending licensing or reveal restrictions.

This lines up with earlier sightings of SPC plush development and strongly indicates an official release is planned, not cancelled or speculative.

📌 Status: Prototype / tease phase

📌 Manufacturer: Rimi Star Production

📌 Reveal method: Controlled preview + partial censorship

📌 Confidence level: Very high

More updates as they surface—this is one to watch closely. 👀🐾
