The dominant color of the plush toy is brown, with a light beige belly and snout. The tail is voluminous and fluffy, accentuating the squirrel-like appearance. The animal wears a red cap with \"70e\" inscribed on it, as well as a striped blue top with \"MARTIGUES\" visible on the chest. Its outfit is completed by a black belt with a yellow buckle, reinforcing the mascot or commemorative character style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe face of the plush toy features large applied eyes, a prominent black snout, and two large visible white teeth, typical of a squirrel's representation. The arms and legs are sewn in a semi-flexed position, giving a dynamic look to the whole. The whiskers are made of stiff black thread, clearly visible on the right side of the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible material is a classic plush fabric, with different textures on the body and tail (the latter being more bushy).
