Possibly the best snuggie ever made, Miyazaki Hayao's My Neighbor Totoro has been transformed into cute and cuddly Totoro snuggies. Those who have imagined countless times of what it's like to meet the famous Totoro can warm up in the fluffy snuggie that comes with a cat-like hood. Though more like a cloak or a cape, the Totoro snuggies come with a realistic face of the beloved creature once the hood is lifted.
With grey fuzzy fur and a white spotted belly, it's hard to resist the temptation of popping in the DVD and have a little anime marathon. Although it's impossible to fully transform into the cat-like creature, friends and family alike will be jealous of the anime cape.
