You can get them by adding $30 to your pledge, although unfortunately it doesn’t appear that Miru and Kaku are being offered alone. The Miru & Kaku bundle includes not only includes plushies of the two troublesome little… creatures… but also winter pom pom hats styled after Sakuya and Nageki. Next, they announced a special holiday add-on featuring Miru and Kaku, along with two hats. The $15 add-on is for the version of the King you see through the majority of Holiday Star, while the limited edition version appears to be his true form shown at the end. This is not the same as the limited edition plushie. If you (like me) backed the project too late to get the limited edition plushie of The King, you can now get your own King plush by adding $15 to your pledge. The second Hatoful Boyfriend Plush Project Kickstarter has almost met its goal, and two new add-ons are available!
