Ever wanted an enormous plush toy of a whale shark to cuddle with at home? Of course you have. And thanks to San-X, the company that created popular characters like Rilakkuma, your whale shark-hugging dreams can now become reality with an adorable giant Jinbei-San plushie!

Jinbei-San ("Mr. Whale Shark") is another one of San-X's beloved characters, and he's been turned into a 4-foot long stuffed toy. Stuffed with super soft boa inside, he even comes with a stingray pocket on the underside of his body that can fit a book or even another, smaller Jinbei-San plushie.

This giant Jinbei-San plush toy comes with a price tag that’s as impressive as its size. It can be purchased online for 29,800 yen (US$265) until March 19th, although it won’t be shipped until early July. They will only be available until supplies last, which means anyone whose life wouldn't be complete without this friendly giant will have to snatch one up before it's all gone.
