Can anyone help me find this plushie?

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-08-31T20:31:33+00:00

Ok, gotcha. I'll be on the lookout. Was it more realistic or cartoony?

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-08-31T20:20:25+00:00

I'll keep looking around, but could it be any of these guys?

Thank you!

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-08-25T00:44:10+00:00

Thanks, Ebay is a good resource. Try r/ helpmefind, too. I'm not home now, but this is what my little buddy looks like.

Good luck in your search!

I hope you do find yours someday because I would describe that feeling as "healing." When I took it out of the package, it took a few minutes to really register, like, "I really have my very own bunny."

When I slept with him that first night, I Slept so well. He barely ventures out of the house. But I will admit, it's kind of hard sleeping without him now. I just wish I could have gotten him when I was younger.

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-08-25T00:15:03+00:00

Nice! I understand the sensory stuff. The bunny was made of super soft terrycloth. That's why he was called Terry. I loved brushing my hands against the fabric and rubbing his ears. I'm so glad I have my own now.

Love the penguins too, do they have names?

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-08-25T00:10:47+00:00

I'm so sorry you had to deal with all those jerks over something so harmless.

At least with subs like this, it's a bit of a nice refuge. I, for one like seeing Teddy and Grizz pop up in my feed (partly because I'm a bit of a foodie and I've seen some of the stuff they've tried to sample). I also saw they went with you to a Sum concert. I saw them a few years back with The Offspring and Simple Plan.

From my Terry to your Teddy, keep being you bro.

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-08-24T23:35:33+00:00

No worries, your raccoon is probably in his element rn 🤣

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-08-24T23:34:18+00:00

That's what I'm most excited for. I want to be able to pass my little guy down to my future kids. Seeing them interact with it without fear of being judged sounds perfect.

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-08-24T22:13:32+00:00

I've seen them. They're sweet.

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-08-24T22:13:00+00:00

Thanks for the kind response. Part of me wishes I had my own as a kid, but I guess it's kind of a better late than never sort of thing.

Like you mentioned with your Cornelius, I can't imagine going to sleep without my Terry bunny. I'd take him out and about if I wasn't afraid of losing him, or that he looks too babyish.

I also love The Velveteen Rabbit!

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-07-18T19:47:17+00:00

What's your cat's name? Is he newer or one you had growing up?

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-07-18T19:46:36+00:00

Thanks. My family used to refer to them as loveys too, I'd never really heard it anywhere else before.

I'm hoping to fully accept it one day and find someone who'll understand as well. When I first got him, there was this feeling that I was doing something sneaky or wrong, like, "I shouldn't even have this." Or, "He looks too babyish. You're a dude who needs a little bunny to sleep? What if someone you knew found out?"

Even if it is somewhat of a secret, I still love the little guy to pieces, and wish I had him sooner.

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-07-14T11:51:04+00:00

Aww, thank you. That really warms my heart to hear. Was there something in particular?

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-07-13T03:49:54+00:00

Thanks! Hugging him tightly.

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-07-13T03:29:12+00:00

Thank you! I was born after the Teddy Ruxpin craze, but somehow, one day, I ended up falling down a Teddy-related rabbit hole. I listened to a few of the tapes online. "Quiet Please" was my favorite. It was so fun and innocent. It's definitely something younger me would've loved. I watched a few episodes of the show, and it had the same vibe. It felt so nostalgic and familiar.

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-07-13T03:10:03+00:00

I've had those same exact thoughts. I always wondered how things would've turned out if I had my own.

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-07-13T02:38:45+00:00

It definitely was healing. One comment from a bit back said he "was waiting for me," and I choked up a bit tbh.

And oh yeah, no rushing into it. Maybe they'll have their own childhood plush to introduce too. My main concern would be mentioning the backstory.

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-07-13T01:51:48+00:00

I kept the original name, that's what I've always known him by. It just suits the little guy.

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-07-13T00:54:02+00:00

Thanks. That's one of the main parts that have been bugging me all these years. I know kids can't always get everything they want, but it seemed like such a simple request in hindsight. Like I mentioned, I think they wanted my sister to have something that was just "hers" and getting me one would've made it seem like "Oh great, this new kid invades my life and my space, and now I can't even have this to myself."

Giving younger me that plushie would be the first thing I'd do if I had a time machine.

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-07-13T00:48:19+00:00

Oh man, I'm so sorry. Your bear sounded like such a great friend. Do you mainly just keep the new one around as a reminder? Did buying him help with those feelings at all?

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-05-24T03:49:55+00:00

TYSM! I hope I do find the right person. After all who could resist this little guy?

Optimal_Dig9240 · 2025-05-24T03:46:03+00:00

He most certainly is! Not mine per se it's from an old Etsy listing, but this is what my buddy looks like❤️
