'Star Wars' plushies from Takara Tomy

Japan is really putting on a show for the upcoming release of the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" movie. From cute, bite-sized character sweets to samurai figurines and even a special train, welcome celebrations in the Land of the Rising sun are proving to be the best this side of the galaxy.

Fortunately for us, the special releases just keep on coming. And now, Takara Tomy Arts have joined the party by metamorphosing our favorite characters into adorable plush toys that are small enough to sit in the palm of your hand!

As the newest addition to the Takara Tomy Beans Collection, which specialises in compact-sized plushies, the eight-character range will be sold as a set from Nov 5 for 19,980 yen. Limited to only 400 sets, the lineup includes adorable Darth Vader, a Stormtrooper, Yoda, Wicket W. Warwick, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO and Jabba the Hutt.

The collection will be delivered in a specially marked box that includes some awesome art featuring the Death Star and the Millennium Falcon. The set also comes with a special wall pocket display so you can keep the gang all neat and tidy when they’re not out adventuring.

The entire collection has been carefully produced so fans of all ages can enjoy spending time with classic characters from the series. We’re glad they come as a set because if they didn’t, we’d never be able to choose just one to take home.

I'd love to snuggle in bed with adorable Darth Vader or to hug some fluffy Jabba. I hope they'll also release a super cute Emperor or soft and squishy Darth Maul.

God helps us Star Wars fans.
