The enchanted Soot Balls are one of those characters that have made two appearances in Miyazaki films once in My Neighbor Totoro as Soot Sprites and the other in Spirited Away as Soot Balls.

Studio Ghibli toys and model kits are some of the most consistent releases when it comes to beauty, design, packaging and execution. I can see Hayao Miyazaki at his desk personally approving or disapproving toy prototypes of his characters.
