When people think of plushies, many may have the image of enjoying them displayed in a room. However, the ”Odekake Plushie Mascot Kamen Rider Zeztz” is an existence that changes that way of enjoying them. Thanks to the ball chain specification, the greatest charm is that you can naturally take them out into everyday scenery rather than just looking at them. Just attaching one to your bag and walking through the city is interesting because it somehow changes your mood, creating a small sense of specialness even during casual commute times to work or school. Moreover, the size is exquisite—not too big and not too small—so it doesn't stand out too much when attached to a bag, yet it still has a solid presence. I feel that this kind of ”just right cuteness” is quite important for items that you actually carry around.

While many Kamen Rider goods are realistic products that push coolness to the forefront, this series leaves an impression with its friendliness unique to deformed designs. In particular, Kamen Rider Zeztz and Kamen Rider Nox are originally sharp and powerful heroes, but they have changed into a soft atmosphere by being turned into plushies, and that gap is irresistibly charming. Furthermore, it's not just about making them cute; they retain their respective characteristics so well that the level of reproduction allows you to tell at a glance, ”This is Zeztz” or ”This is Nox.” I felt the good taste of this product in how it maintains a hero-like atmosphere while also establishing the charm of a plushie.

The lineup this time includes four types: Nox, Baku Yorozu, Kamen Rider Nox, and Kamen Rider Zeztz, and this composition is truly fun. While one might usually expect only the transformed Riders to be commercialized, the inclusion of their pre-transformation forms creates the joy of displaying them in combinations. For example, just lining up the pre-transformation and transformed versions side-by-side lets you feel the flow of the work's world, and even the time spent thinking about your own arrangement becomes enjoyable. Goods that allow for this kind of ”display play” really stimulate the desire to collect. While a single one is cute enough, I think it's the type of product where the world-view expands the moment you collect several.

The charm of the Odekake Plushie Mascot is not just its portability. When you actually take them outside, you'll strangely feel like taking pictures. Letting them sit on a cafe table or lining them up with the scenery of a travel destination creates a story in the photo just by doing so. The size of approximately 10cm to 15cm is very suitable for photography, leaving an impression that it's easy to fit into the screen even when taking casual shots with a smartphone, and easy to balance with the background. The sensation of a casual everyday scene turning into a slightly special memory just by adding a plushie is surely a charm unique to this series.

While there are ways to enjoy Kamen Rider goods by seeking impact or a sense of weight, I felt that this ”Odekake Plushie Mascot Kamen Rider Zeztz” is an item that allows you to enjoy heroes from a more familiar distance. Its charm lies in the fact that you can not only display it in your room but also go out together, want to take photos, and naturally blend it into your daily life. Moreover, even though they are deformed, each character's personality remains intact, providing a solid sense of satisfaction as a fan item. It could be said to be a product that possesses a kindness that makes you want to ”keep it by your side forever,” rather than just being cool.
