UFO catcher plushies can only be won from arcades and are made solely for the purposes of UFO catcher machines.  Generally the arcade plushies are designed by a company called Fansclub and there are one to two new releases a month, and always of similar sizes – 48cm for Rilakkuma and 45cm for Korilakkuma.  The zips on Rilakkuma’s backs are not real zips and these plushies have no beans.  Their colour and material are also different from the store plushies’. 

In contrast, there are new store plushie designs once every two to three months and usually of smaller sizing about 22cm.  Most store plushies also have beans and unzippable zips behind Rilakkuma’s backs.
