Juniper and little Hops at the botanic gardens in September 2025.

They were watching a soothing video of mycelium growing under a microscope to some music.

★ Fat Man (The Bomb) ★ (He/Him) Tasile - Medium (?) - ★ Mechanical !! ★

On a trip to Tasmania with @piinemarten, @landshaarrk and @benjipod in 2024, We visited Mawson Sheepskin & Opals in Hobart. Up the back of the store, we spotted this thyla very high up on top of a window sill squished with some other plush. Piine jumped up to grab him and read his tag; it said “Not for Sale”

I was pretty sad about it, We took some photos to document his existence and then we left him. I was thinking about him all night and we went back the next day I was encouraged by the group to make an offer and the owner accepted!! I offered $40aud since that was around the price range their other plush in the store were selling for and I'm so so glad they accepted! He has so much fade on his fur from being up in a window for who knows how many years, his whiskers are almost completely clear in some places! The fur on his belly, back legs and when folding his ears down show what the rest of his fur should look like! Despite all the sun fade, his stripes are still so dark!!

☆ His mechanical insides ☆ Fat Man has a solid in the body with two “limbs” that go in the tail and head. At the moment he isn't in working order but his battery box and wires look okay and Piine may have a look into seeing if their insides can be repaired. My guess is that the "limbs" move in some way? I would really love to find out!

If there is anyone that has seen another mechanical Tasile thylacine, I would LOVE to see another one, Especially if its in working order ^w^! We had a good look online but couldn't find anyone else owning one/posting about one! OH And he's a Foot Fella! (a collection of Tasile thylas that I have named because they have very large feet)

Yarrow (he/him)

A funny little beanie thylacine by Tasile. Found in an Australian charity shop and sent to me in August 2024. He usually keeps a hold of these two wonderfully tacky boomerang keychains.

Sorrel (he/it)

Probably the wonkiest, most nervous and whimpering thylacine plushie I own so far. Made by Tasile, bought secondhand from Australia in February 2024.

Played a little game of vets with it the other day and it made an excellent pitiful-looking patient.

Purslane (it/they)

...It's a purse! A thylacine souvenir coin purse made by Tasile, bought from a New York antiques shop via eBay in January 2025.

I've never even seen another one like this so had to snap it up despite shipping costs! They're tailless and stripeless, and honestly the only reason I could identify it as a thylacine is its similarity to Yarrow, another Tasile beanie thyla with very similar patterning.

And yes, Yarrow can actually kind of wear Purslane as a backpack... But it's a bit of a tight fit. Look, now Purslane has a tail too!

Hop or Hops (he/him)

Another thylacine from Tasile! This one is similar to a small version of Juniper, there seems to be a few sizes out there that all tend to have rather big feet, hence this one's name. Bought from eBay and sent to me in June 2025.

Tonka (he/it)

A super chunky wee thylacine bought secondhand from Australia in February 2024. Its tag is missing, but it's been identified as a Tasile plush.

Sibling described its shape as 'a little Tonka truck' which technically works with the herb and spice name theme I use for my thylacines.

★ Baby Foot Man ★ (he/him) Tasile - baby

The baby of the Foot Fellas! He was found on facebook marketplace for $5aud, when I picked him up I was shocked by his long feet!! Hes so small and so full of feet! Unfortunately his tag was cut off by his previous owner
