As part of Mother 3’s 18th anniversary celebrations this week, the Mother Project website has now confirmed that these plushies will go on sale next week at April 25, 2024. Once again, the set includes Lucas, Claus, Duster and Kumator.

Project Mother is launching four brand new Mother 3 plush toys later this year to commemorate the GBA game’s release on Nintendo Switch Online in Japan. (Thank you Wario64!)
Look, it’s not the NSO localization we wanted, but at least this is something we can import, love and understand without needing a full translation or English script, right? Sigh.
The plush quartet includes Lucas, his twin brother Claus, the thief Duster and the princess of Osoha Kumator’s castle. Everything is incredibly detailed — both twins have pockets on their shorts with visible stitching and laces on their shoes, and we can’t resist, honestly.
Here are some close-ups of plush toys from The Mother Project website:
The plush toys are due to go on sale in May 2024, with pricing to be revealed closer to that time. This should give everyone enough time to find a way to get them delivered to our homes in the UK (or wherever you live).
