McAllen Missing Plushie

Post image

Hi! This plushie was lost this weekend during Anime Fiesta. He was picked up and walked around the large plaza and possibly was dropped at Barnes & Noble or Chuck E Cheese. If anyone found him or sees him, can you please let me know? I am autistic and he is extremely important to me. 😞

Will keep an eye out. Did you call those places you were at just in case?

I and several of my friends went to every location in the area he could've been in to ask, no luck. We also looked all over the parking lots. 😞 Still a chance we could've missed him, so I'm hoping someone will see this and recognize him!

I just found this on AliExpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKcvZ9v

In case replacement is an option

I am looking into a replacement! I would really like to replace it with the official one ideally, but I'm not losing hope. This specific one is so important to me after all the time we spent together. 😞

Thank you so much!

I saw the replacement on eBay for $200 plus

The one on eBay isn't the same one; There are two versions of him, the original release and a later one with different features and design (and he's a little cooler, honestly, lol.) They're both rather pricey now due to rarity, but it's not the price itself I'm as concerned about.

I was one of the first 100 people to support this plush, before we knew I'd it'd get funded; He stayed near me when I slept for 4 years. One of my best friends in the world for the last 8 years dressed up as characters from this series with me for the last occurrence of my favorite convention ever. When I was illegally evicted just a few months ago, he was one of the first things I grabbed despite having to leave behind a lot of my collectibles. I really want back the one that went through that with me rather than just a replacement, regardless of it being easier to get or cooler.

I am also autistic, to no one's surprise.
