AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for a Monchhichi plush, also known as Kiki, as seen in the photo. It is a small monkey-shaped figure, recognizable by its plush-like brown fur and molded plastic face, typical of Monchhichi models sold from the 1970s onwards. The plush wears a light blue short-sleeved t-shirt, adorned with a whimsical inscription "T tro s1pa" on the front, with a typographical play mixing black and pink. The t-shirt appears fitted, covering the plush's torso and arms, and adds a personalized touch to the overall look.

The plush's head features dense, brown plush hair, round rosy cheeks, and a prominent muzzle. The eyes are large and expressive, topped with drawn eyelashes, and the slightly open mouth reveals a tongue, characteristic of the Monchhichi design. The ears are rounded and clearly visible on each side of the face.

The body and limbs are covered in uniform brown synthetic fur, with the exception of the hands, feet, and face, which are made of beige plastic. The plush's right hand holds a small spherical white accessory, typical of some Monchhichi models. The long, thick tail, also covered in fur, is clearly visible at the back of the body in the photo.

The general style, the slogan t-shirt, and the toy's appearance clearly evoke the vintage aesthetic of the 70s-80s, a period of major popularity for Monchhichi/Kiki in France and internationally. The item presented is typical of retro plush toys sought after for their nostalgic design and original Japanese quality.

The inscription on the t-shirt is perfectly legible: "T tro s1pa". No other markings are visible on the front. The plush is photographed standing upright, with good stability, on a wooden surface, allowing the entire front and textile details to be appreciated.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The overall appearance seems to be in good visual condition on the front, with no excessive wear, and vibrant colors on the t-shirt and fur. No major tears or stains are visible on the photographed part. Please refer to the photo to assess the precise condition.

Did you know? Monchhichi plush toys, created in 1974 by the Japanese company Sekiguchi, became true pop icons in Europe under the name Kiki in the 1980s.
