Not sure what companies made these sadly, either way these plushies are the only three to be fruit related with the character,

Robow@n (Robowan) the robot dog

Debuting in 2000, born November 11th, there a robotic dog with a range of movement, they usually speak in emoticons and have a switch that changes color depending on there mood,

Again another character with not much English information besides what the Hello Kitty Wiki provided, nothing about the creator or who draws the art sadly,

Masyumaro or Mashumaromitainafuwafuwanyanko

Debuting in 2006, born February 22nd, the longer version of there name translates to "fluffy nyanko (little meow) like marshmallow,” a known feature about this character is pockets that hold marshmallows, this isn’t shown in all media but still shown in many like merchandise.

Another interesting feature related to this character is gender and translation, usually referred to as male mostly in Japanese media like the company website, by both Japanese and non Japanese fans alike though the characters gender is not talked about much, then we get the English translation of the 2018 ranking that referred to the character as the opposite, female though this is considered a translation error as the Japanese media doesn’t refer to the characters identity in this way, but since again gender isn’t talked about much when it comes to the character it’s a who knows situation unless confirmed by not known creator.
