The Bleacher Creatures Kuricha Plush give fans a fun way to collect and display their favorite fandoms. The licensed characters are 8 inches tall, with bean bag bottoms that make it easy to place them in a sitting position. Their designs are inspired by Japanese Chibi artwork, capturing the essence of each character in a playful way.

While all of the Kurchica styles are amazing in their own right, we narrowed it down to our 10 favorites! Check them out below:

10. Frog of Thunder Thor

Ribbit, ribbit. Throg made his official MCU debut in Disney+’s Loki last year in a scene that only lasted a second, but eagle-eyed Marvel fans caught wind of the frog variant of Thor, as did Bleacher Creatures, and this powerful plush frog was born.

9. Bray Wyatt Fiend

He’s got the whole world in his hands. This Kuricha Plush captures all the creepiness of WWE wrestler Bray Wyatt AKA The Fiend. He doesn’t call himself “​​the face of fear” for nothing.
