A very special Snoopy is returning to the major Japanese convenience store (Konbini) chain, “Lawson.” To commemorate the 2026 Japanese Zodiac (Eto) year of the “Horse” (Uma), the “SNOOPY 2026 Year of the Horse Cowboy Snoopy Plush Pouch BOOK” has been scheduled for a nationwide re-release starting Thursday, April 16, 2026, due to popular demand.
A Playful Design Inspired by the 2026 Zodiac “Horse”
This item is a unique Western-style plushie inspired by the “Horse,” the Japanese Zodiac sign for 2026. In Japan, it is a common custom to display character goods matching the year’s zodiac sign to pray for good luck in the New Year. Snoopy, dressed in a cowboy hat and a fringed vest, features a limited-edition design exclusive to this celebratory year. The combination of the powerful image of a galloping horse and the cowboy motif radiates positive energy.
Attention to Detail: The “Fringed Vest” with Commemorative Design
The detail on the vest Snoopy is wearing is particularly noteworthy. The back features a cute illustration of a rocking horse, symbolizing the “Horse” zodiac. The authentic construction, complete with fringe accents, makes this more than just a simple plushie—it is a memorial item of high value. Furthermore, the “fluffy” and soft texture felt the moment you hold it is a major part of its charm. You can enjoy the comfortable touch that is characteristic of high-quality Japanese character merchandise.
A Versatile Item: Both a Plushie and a Functional Pouch
The most significant feature of this item is that while it is an adorable plushie, it also functions as a practical “pouch.” With a total length of approximately 22cm (approx. 8.7 inches), it has a substantial presence and enough volume to store small items. Simply placing it on your desk will brighten up the space as a stylish piece of interior decor.
A Companion for Your Outings! Convenient Ball Chain Included
The main body comes with a detachable ball chain. You can attach it to a tote bag or backpack to take it out with you as a bag charm. Inside the pouch, you can cutely organize and carry small essentials like lip balm, earphones, or keys.
Additionally, it is perfect as interior decoration for shelves or desks. Just having Cowboy Snoopy there changes the everyday scenery into a lively and fun atmosphere. It is a special item that would be greatly appreciated as a treat for yourself or as a gift for friends and family who love Japanese culture or Snoopy.
