The plush collection, produced by Tamaki Inc., comes in both large and small sizes and is available exclusively through crane games.
These plushies are being distributed in collaboration with popular arcade chains such as Game Land, Soyu Game Field, NICOPA, and Taito Station, with locations spanning multiple prefectures.

Takopi’s Original Sin emerged as one of the most talked-about anime of Summer 2025, holding the top spot on Anime Corner’s weekly rankings for the entirety of its broadcast. Adapted from Taizan 5’s acclaimed manga, the anime captured audiences with its mix of heartfelt storytelling, poignant themes, and beautifully executed animation by ENISHIYA. The finale left a lasting impression, prompting intense online discussions and emotional fan reactions.
Following its conclusion, the series received a special commemorative visual and a reflective promotional video titled To You All in 2016, revisiting key moments from the story.
