Parappa the Rapper Plushes 

US$12-$39

 

   In December 1996, a phat pup endeared himself to the Japanese gaming public with a catchy line ("I gotta believe!"), rap rhythm, and his love for a flower of a gal named Sunny Funny. Parappa's adventures transpired in Rodneytown where he learned to rap from grandmasters such as Chop Chop Master Onion, MC King Kong Mushi, and the indefatigable Cheap Cheap the Cooking Chicken. 
   Fast forward to 2K1 and Parappa rolls on with steady merchandising and three new plush pups join NCS inventory today.
