<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 368897, member: 5833"]I love the Finnish Moomintroll books, barely known here in the US. Very big in Finland &, you guessed it, Japan. I could never figure out how American makers of stuffed animals never jumped on the characters & promoted the stories by way of promoting the toys. The Japanese recognized the potential. If you want your own huggable Moomin, you have to get it from there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe Anne ties in with the whole cos-play school girl thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
