Maybe, however most of the staining is on the face. There is a Seam right down the middle, though.

The face in question. About a year of emotional support. I think the reason he looks so bad right now is because the fabric was light colored to begin with.

You still having trouble cleaning your Eevee? I've got a video that'll walk you through the entire cleaning process!


Just adjust how much powder you're using to clean your friend and you're good to go! I would be careful about cleaning custom dolls that have ironed on details like eyes - the fabric cleaners can bleach the colours! Make sure your friends get baths every few months or so to get rid of built up grease, dirt and skin cells, fellow plushie Kiwis - both your stuffed friends and your skin will thank you!
 
As a grown man I'm not "into" stuffed animals but I do want to brag about my childhood stuffed harp seal (from Seaworld), just because I think that's got to be one of the more rare animals for a kid to have.

Seals are the dogs of the ocean.

I have a squishy shiba inu, and a stuffed griffin from Busch Gardens (griffins are pretty much my favorite mythological creature) that I got while I was there with my then-boyfriend, but they're more for decoration, I don't really actively cuddle my plushes. I had a bunch when I was little, but they're all in storage currently. Somewhere in either the closet or basement is a very ugly, very well-loved stuffed Barney.
 
blahaj , just because mom got it for me as a gift :) (pic not mine)

I have a request actually, FOR A FRIEND

Where can I buy a half-decent, more realistic penguin stuffed animal? Specific breeds (gentoo, chinstrap, king, any of them) instead generic black with white stomach/baby emperor. Japan seems to make them but their websites show their "out of stock" supply and I'm sick of scrolling through that and seemingly fucking endless anime little girl shit that I guess has the word penguin or is from an anime with the word penguin in it. I hate to use price gouging Ebay but Im getting desperate.

Check out the brand “Wild Republic”. They have a great range of realistic wildlife.
 
My oldest and most beloved stuffed animal is an orange tabby cat named Tiger. He was gifted to me on my seventh birthday by my Oma shortly after she had brought me to live with her and Opa. They both passed while I was in middle and high school respectively. Last year I adopted a real kitten who looks almost identical to the toy and nearly named him after it so it would be as if it had come to life. But ended up naming the kitten Phoenix instead.

My newst one is a large frog that I bought from Wal-Mart around valentine's. I have a bit of an obsession with frogs, even more so since I became a froglet mamma to sixteen goofball tree frogs I raised up from eggs that I rescued from my above ground pool two summers ago.

Stuffed Safari has a few by various companies. Another Kiwi mentioned Wild Republic, which Stuffed Safari also has.

got my stuffed animals here. i love cheetahs so they're from over the years. got my little ratty because i love ratties :) the heartless was from a birthday present in high school and the big bear (i named moogley) i also got as a present when i was around 4. the bear in the middle i got when i was born appropriately named "Bear Bear". poor guy is pretty beat up but he's still in decent shape. the penguin was from a family member but ill probably get rid of it. i had TONS has a kid but my dad threw most of them away when we moved in this house (about 14 years ago).
 
Is it weird that I may have to leave my little pal behind for a week or so for the first time in decades, and I'm genuinely afraid something could happen to him? Had the little guy forever, I still hold him when I sleep, and he sits and hangs out next to me when I watch TV.

Why do you have to leave him behind? I always take my stuffed monkey when I go away, even if it is for work. He's good at hiding luckily.

Normally I wouldn't leave him alone ever, but I'm traveling internationally, and frankly, the country I'm going to is a shithole. I'd be too worried about him getting lost, stolen, dirtied, destroyed, etc.

Maybe leave him with a friend? If I have to go away and I don't trust my housemates I put anything I don't want stolen in a box, and stash it at a relative's place.

Sadly, I don't have any friends that live anywhere near me, or else I would have asked them to "babysit"
 
When I was 16, my mom came home from a shopping trip with a stuffed bunny. I tried to attach a picture but Tor is gay. She's wearing an old fashion Easter dress.

Mom told me, "I know you're too old for this sort of thing, but it was so cute, and I wanted you to have it." It really touched me, and broke my heart a little. It reminded me of being little, and was a bittersweet moment where we both knew I was growing up and things just weren't the same. I happily accepted it and have kept it ever since, through every move, every purge, every life change. She sits in my closet and I see her several times a day. It's the sweetest reminder I have of my mom, who has already passed away.

Ahh, yes, I understand that. Find him a nice hiding place where no one else would ever look. I'm sure you (and he) will both have great travels/holidays though!
 
A shark I got at the aquarium, a small pink seal I won at the fair and a totoro I've had since I was little that's currently still at my parent's house.
I usually sleep with the shark when my bf is at work (night shifts), it gives me something to hold onto when I'd otherwise be totally alone in bed.
