Not Yeti Friday - Himalan
Himalan is a designer toy by Itokin Park.
It comes in many colors:

From here
From here
And even has folks customizing it in neat ways.
Example: Star Yeti
It is very expensive to purchase. I will never own a Himalan.
I was going to propose that a Himalan was actually a yeti. I assumed that the designer intentionally named it "Himalan" in order to evoke "Himalayan".
However, I think it is not yeti. This post on Vinyl Pulse discusses a book called "An Encyclopedia Of Kaiju" - and look who's right there smack in the middle of the front cover, all spruced up in orange:
Can the word kaiju refer to a yeti? Maybe, but probably not. I think Himalan is in a class by itself.
