Description: Mashimaro Rabbit by Kim Jae In 24" XL Plush Stuffed Animal Toy Yeopki Tokki VTG VERY HARD TO FIND IN THIS SIZE ********THIS WILL BE SHIPPED IN A LARGE POLY MAILER DUE TO SIZE AND SHIPPING COSTS******* Per Wikipedia: and I quote"Mashimaro (마시마로) or Yeopki Tokki (엽기토끼 "bizarre rabbit") in Korean and 流氓兔 ("hoodlum rabbit") in Chinese is a South Korean fictional character who resembles a fat rabbit created by Kim Jae In (김재인). He debuted in a series of Flash Animations (mostly without any dialogue, although the occasional word of Korean or English is present) on the internet. Mashimaro is far more often seen in merchandise, similar to Hello Kitty (Mashimaro would in fact be best described as Korea's answer to Sanrio.) Mashimaro merchandise can be found on the internet and in Korean communities around the world.The original Mashimaro cartoons are full of toilet humor, and some of this is also to be found in the merchandise. Mashimaro himself is often portrayed with a plunger stuck to his head.When this character was first designed, directors decided to not to use him because they thought 'cartoon characters must have big eyes and positive attitudes,’ and Mashimaro has razor thin eyes and too pessimistic attitude. So the creator Kim Jae made a series of flash animations on the Internet cartoon site and people loved it. The directors then changed their mind about Mashimaro and he became the first Korean hit character. Some years later, the company began to professionally market Mashimaro.Mashimaro also has a look-alike, Chocomaro, who is brown. Chocomaro appears in two parodies of "Mashimaro" Episodes, including Episodes 2 and 3. Chocomaro tries to do what Mashimaro would normally do in these episodes, but always messes them up and ends up getting hurt. It is unknown exactly what relationship Chocomaro shares with Mashimaro, but most believe that he is the brother of Mashimaro.The name "Mashimaro" came from the creator's niece/nephew mispronouncing the word "marshmallow" and this character was modeled after the creator's nephew.A Chinese-Korean animated series based on the character was created in 2018. In 2020, it was announced that a live action movie Mashimaro would be produced. The movie was released on April 6,2022, and was titled "Detective Mashimaro"" PLEASE REFER TO ALL PHOTOS FOR A BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM All of My Items Come from a Smoke Free HomeI Strive to Ship Next DayFeel Free to Look Through My Other ListingsPlease Contact me with any issues prior to leaving negative/neutral Feedback or low detail ratings as I will always do my best to solve any problems that may come up!Please refer to all photos above for a better visual description of the product being offered and it's condition.
