Galan Dolls

A stuffy, that is a toy. In particular an image of an Ane stuffy. "Galan Dolls" run from a foot tall and moderately floppy to half real sized and stiff enough to stand. 
They first made their appearance after first contact, all the original run were gray, like Galan herself, and of the smaller size. Since the coming out of the Ane the colors and sizes have proliferated. Several companies make them. There was a looming trademark battle until the Ane themselves stepped up and demanded a cut and stated they didn't care who made them as long as the cut was paid.
The Galan Doll has become as ubiquitous as the Teddy bear. Any toy store has them in a bin with the rest of the stuffed things. Many a child has loved theirs into hairlessness. Only heartless people rail against the things. 
Major manufacturers are Gund, Margarete Steiff GmbH, Sanrio, Ty Inc, and Ganz.
