I loved these plush toy kits when I was a just a pre-tween and didn’t have the heart to make them. ( I still don’t)  I just loved looking at the packages and pondering over the Japanese instructions and diagrams (which I don’t understand) as if I were really going to make the plush toys.  (yikes…these kits are about 25 years old- does that make them vintage yet?)
