hi! I love your blog :) would you mind trying to help me figure out where this little guy is from? I got him sometime between 2006 and 2008, I think, and maybe from the atlanta zoo’s gift shop. he has some beans in him and is floppy, and his tag was unfortunately cut off years ago. thank you for any possible help!
hi! I immediately recognized him! he is a wild republic 12” cuddlekins baby leopard cub! (maybe jaguar depending on who you ask, lol) He has all the charm (and swagger) of that era of their baby big cats cuddlekins line. The almost hunched posture and posing of that line is super recognizable. I feel like if you went to the zoo anytime in the late 2000s they always had these in the gift shop! I have the cheetah :3
Unfortunately it’s a bit hard to track down listings/other pics, even knowing exactly what plush he is, but here’s a few ebay listings
i really love the style they used back then for these plushies, they also feel so high quality and sturdy with thick fur compared to their newer designs. hope this helps ^_^
