In 1997, two plushes were created and released in Japan to promote the original game's release: one of Tomba, and one of an Evil Pig. These were created strictly as contest prizes and were not for sale, and as such very few were produced.
In 2015, an officially licensed plush was created and sold by MonkeyPaw Games and Gaijinworks to celebrate the second game being released on the PlayStation Network.[1] This too was a very limited release, with only 100 of them given out randomly to people who retweeted the launch announcement between November and December 2015. This promotion was limited to people with a North American mailing address. This plush features Tomba wearing the golden bracelet.
