Taiyo Sangyo Trading & Marine Service LTD has teamed up with fish expert and television personality Sakana-kun (well known for his blowfish-shaped hat) to release a new series, appropriately titled "fish stuffed animals". Not just any fish stuffed animals, however, but a super detailed and realistic lineup of unusual fish that'll let you cuddle with a variety of sea oddities!

Production of the series involved a lot of research in order to realistically produce details of each animal, including shapes, patterns, and positioning of fins so that they could actually be used in lectures by Sakana-kun. Here's an introduction to each aquatic member.

Octopus

Fringed blenny

Flounder

Boxfish (female)

Boxfish (male)

Slingjaw Wrasse

Trumpetfish

Certain toy stores and aquariums throughout Japan carry the lineup of seven fish, as well as the online retail shop, which has domestic shipping within Japan only.
