Some of these projects have already been scheduled for later this year, such as the Kirby 30th Anniversary Concert going to be online broadcast in August. This will feature many songs from across the series’ history, all to be performed in a big-band style with 35 musicians performing. Nintendo has confirmed that more anniversary projects are coming through the year, with one of these being a huge plush toy based on the titular character.

This oversized plushie, known as the Kirby 30th Classic Plush DX, is based on his appearance in Kirby’s Dream Land, the very first game of the series released in 1992. This is evident with the plushie keeping Kirby’s curved smile, black eyes, as well as cat-like whisker blush on his cheeks. The plushie however is colored pink instead of white, much more in-line with Kirby’s current color scheme.
This Kirby plush will also feature a Star Rod accessory that can be attached to Kirby’s hand, which can be removed via velcro. The Star Rod is also plush-like, having a commemorative logo for the 30th anniversary, along with Kirby in his modern design sitting on the top.
