Digimon Announces Special Life-Sized Chibimon Figure
Digimon is one of the most nostalgic franchises in anime, and the IP is doing well for itself these days. After all, a new video game just joined the series, and there is even a new movie on the horizon. And now, Digimon is drumming up excitement after announcing its first life-sized plushie that collectors will want on their wishlist.
The update comes from the Digimon team itself as they confirmed Chibimon is getting a life-sized stuffed plush. The monster, which is also known as DemiVeemon, will be the first 1:1 scale collectible to join this new plush line. Pre-orders for the piece just launched in Japan and will continue to the end of August.

Of course, Chibimon is a perfect monster to test out this life-sized initiative. The character is a baby dragon, after all. Digimon fans will know the monster begins as Chibomon which is little more than a wisp before Veemon is unlocked. The evolutionary line goes on to include ExVeemon and Veedramon amongst others. So if you want to bring Chibimon home, you can surely find this plush secondhand online once orders ship out next March.
