Camilla d’Errico Releases Her First Plush: KURO
Comic book artist and character creator Camilla d’Errico is releasing her first-ever plush fashioned after the cute yet evil character, KURO, from her self-published book, Tanpopo. Kuro, aka Poodle, is the willing and scheming companion who has promised Tanpopo love, happiness and human emotion. Don’t let his cuteness fool you; he is after Tanpopo’s soul!
The plush stands 6 inches tall - with his total darkness hidden by a naively white mask. Cute, cuddly, and with a most peculiar feature: a too-cute-to-believe booty that would make even J-Lo jealous, this little guy has received squeals of delight at recent conventions, where the prototype was displayed and promoted.
Both Plush and Tanpopo book are now available for US$15 and US$10.99 respectively. (Distributed by DKE Toys). Make sure you also pick up the original storybook, Tanpopo, to get the lowdown on who Kuro is, what the saga of Tanpopo is all about, and join the huge group of fans who have discovered and fallen in love with the story and characters.
