Licensed plushies in the Rilakkuma world refers to plushies that are not made directly by San-X, but instead by a third party company that has purchased a license that authorizes them to use Rilakkuma imagery in their products.
They generally have a unique look and feel to them, and they can really add a novel level of design to a collection! Learn more about Rilakkuma licensing from my post here.
Fansclub
Fansclub is UFO catcher company with a license to sell official Rilakkuma plushies. In addition to coming from UFO catchers (crane games), these plushies have a unique and distinct aesthetic about them, which is why they have their own special section in my collection!
Most importantly, many of these plushies were given to me by dear friends, so I cherish them even more!
Since there are many Fansclub Rilakkumas that I have yet to photograph, this is a very incomplete list and a work in progress – stay tuned, there are lots more bears for this page to come, I just need to give them the post spotlight they deserve!

HN&Associates (HNA)
HNA is a company that produces special licensed Rilakkuma products unique to each area in Japan! They’re great souvenirs, and they each represent a interesting part of that city’s culture or history. They’re a little tough to find, but I hope I get to visit Japan enough in the future to collect many more!
Kansai Region (関西地方)
Mister Donut
Mister Donut is a donut franchise that originally started in the US, but has since become incredibly popular in Japan and is now non-existant in the US.
Since Rilakkuma is a lazy and hungry bear with a sweet tooth, this a very fitting collaboration!
Released: November 2012
