I received a new book of Shannon minky swatches which includes 21 new colors. Hopefully this is helpful!
I watched my favorite Twitch streamer play through Yakuza: Like A Dragon last year. I fell in love with Kasuga and the battle system really intrigued me since it reminded me of Paper Mario, which is one of my favorite games of all time. I decided to play through it myself when it came out on PS5 since I thought it'd be a good game for my husband and I to play together (lots of story+side quests for me, lots of mini games and collectables for him). I had an absolute blast playing it even though I had seen it played through once already, and it's definitely one of my favorite games I've played in a long time! It solidifed my love for this character even more. Since there's no plushie in existence of Ichiban, I had to make one myself!
Mochi minky is becoming increasingly popular in plush making these days! It's a form of minky that is extremely stretchy - the same material used to make Squishmallows, which many people are familiar with. It has a shorter pile compared to the normal 3mm smooth minky from Shannon, so it may be a better option for sewing something like humans to avoid the fur-like texture while keeping softness. It's also considerably thicker than normal smooth minky. Because of this, it can be a little tricky to sew & embroider and I would not recommend that beginners use it. I personally loved working with it, though!
