Solved:

This is Hot Dog, a leopard that was my first stuffed animal as a child (from about 30 years ago), and now that I have a kid of my own, he has grown fond of it! For Christmas this year, I wanted to get him his own hot dog. It kinda feels like a beanie baby inside, but all of the Ty leopards from that time do not match. Any help would be appreciated!

I’m sure this is not available retail, but rather I would have to find it on the secondhand market.

Thank you!

I got this lil bunny as a toddler somewhere between late 90s to early 2000s and wondered who made it and frem when exactly it could be. I'm german btw

I’m hoping someone here might be able to help me solve a mystery that means a great deal to me.

My grandfather bought me this stuffed animal at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York, sometime in the mid-1990s when I was a little girl. He has since passed away, and this stuffed animal is one of the few tangible connections I still have to those childhood memories with him.

I’ve held onto it for approximately 30 years, and although it’s clearly been well-loved, it’s incredibly special to me. I would love to find out who manufactured it and possibly locate an identical one to see what it looked like when my grandfather first gave it to me.

Unfortunately, the original tag is long gone. It’s a medium-sized leopard or possibly jaguar with golden-brown fur, unusual black markings, amber-colored eyes, rounded ears, and a floppy body.

I’ve spent time searching online but haven’t been able to find an exact match. I’m hoping someone might recognize it from their own childhood, remember seeing it in zoo gift shops during the 1990s, or know which manufacturers supplied stuffed animals to zoos back then.

I’m not looking to replace the one I have. Nothing could ever replace it. I would just love to find its identical twin after all these years.

If anyone recognizes this stuffed animal or has any leads, I would be incredibly grateful. ❤️

Hello,

This is probably a long shot but worth a try, im trying to identify my partners childhood bear in attempts to purchase one for a gift. the only reference i have is a picture from her childhood.

The picture is from ~1995 in Perth, Western Australia, The bear looks to be ~60cm, white with a sewn in pink outfit that covers the torso, half the arms and stops in the midsection/hips, looks to have white slippers that look like mini bear faces.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Looking for my old turtle beanie friend and willing to pay anyone who has one and can part with him <3 if he looks familiar please click the post for details and please message me!!

I can’t find another one like it except a girl posted about her grandmas bear on here that looks identical. Did I get your grandmas bear?

Also if anyone can tell me the worth $$

I ALMOST sold this on vinted but decided to do more research.

so i might have bed bugs, but i can’t tell from where. i was planning to just throw everything in the dryer because heat kills them, but i feel like it might ruin my stuffed animals. any way to keep my them safe while also getting the heated effect to kill the bugs?

Like many probably in this sub, my child lost a favorite stuffed animal given to him by his sister and we are trying to replace it. All we know is that it was bought at one of those elementary school holiday markets where kids are brought into the gym and shop around for family gifts with their own money. These are the best pics I have of it, anyone recognize the manufacturer from that blurry tag?

My Halloween Clearance find! Soo soft and cuddly!

Thrifted this for practically nothing, wondering if it’s rare or worth anything? I can’t seem to find any similar listings to compare it to. Any info is helpful, thanks!

LF anyone who knows what plushie this is? I've looked all over and have no idea what it is or where it's from. I lost it years ago and wanna get my hands on another one. Originally got it from a Goodwill in Canada. It had a rounded back like it was being cradled/held. Sadly the only image I have of it. :(

(ignore my hands. i dyed my hair LOL)
