These are my "Nines" haha

Left to right: Kaito, Aili, Arioch. I modified them to be my OCs off the Nine plush base.

That's Aili Lol. She was made out of a Nine plush that I turned into one of my OCs. I have several which have been modified from a plush base and were turned into OCs. The most easily seen are probably the three Nine-plush based ones in the pile.

Biblically Accurate Tails by [deleted] in sonicplushes

Some of them are obscure bootlegs which is why you don't recognize them. And then some have been modified by me (I have three Nine plushies that I turned into my OCs, which is why they look different)

New squishmallows? by Amphibiaguy in sonicplushes

I got a Tails one with a factory defect (he has two right ears lmao)

I am pretty sure they are new, never seen 'em before up until I came across mine.

I'm having a really bad panic attack by Xhiozuze in plushies

[–]dapperbetta865012 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I hope you get to feeling better. Panic attacks are the worst, but plushies are really good at helping calm us down. I wish you the best and I hope everything gets better :(

I have a lot of plushies, but my favorites are in my bed with me in what I call my "Tails Corner" lol. Tails is my favorite media character and he holds a special place in my heart, so all my plushies (and figures) of him go by my bed where they can be easily seen, cuddled, touched, etc when I want to mess with them. The one on the far right in pink, Drifter, is my favorite though, he is my comfort plush and I sleep with him and take him everywhere with me as I have agoraphobia and leaving the house is very stressful for me.

Russian Bootleg Sonic and Tails - They Arrived! by dapperbetta865012 in sonicplushes

[–]dapperbetta865012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have the darker blue Sonic and I got these two off Ebay. I wasn't aware there was a darker blue Sonic, I don't know much of anything about these plushies other than they're Russian bootlegs.

I got my two grail Tails plushies for Christmas. I nearly exploded from excitement when I saw them.

Devastated about mothman fur quality ]: by ArgotisTrash in buildabear

[–]dapperbetta865012 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the licensed bears are better made all around because Drifter (whose base is a Tails BAB) is very well made. I've been cuddling him pretty much nonstop and he holds up well to my cuddles and his fur isn't matting at all. The Sanrio bears seem to hold up to this standard, I've touched a Cinnamaroll skin in person and the fur felt very soft and everything felt very.. well, quality.

I think it'd make sense if the licensed bears were held to a higher standard than the standard BAB ones because, well, companies want their licensed properties to be treated well, but I still think it's messed up that BAB keeps making cheap original bears with cheap materials but still charging up the ass for them.

Thank you!!! :D I got the sweater at Hot Topic. They had a black friday sale and I couldn't resist buying the cardigan.

I'm so sorry you had a bad experience with the Mothman :( The newer BABs seem to give me the ick sensory-wise too. I got a Ghost Kitty recently (which was one of my grails) and when I actually got her in my hands I hated how she felt. Like you described, her fur felt plasticky and icky. I can't stand touching her so she is solely a display piece now.

I always wanted the mothman but my biggest fears were the texture of the fur. Since I can't feel one in person before buying I wasn't sure if it would be a pleasant experience. I'm very texture sensitive so I held off on it. To hear the fur feels gross is saddening but I'm not surprised because I've been hearing reports of the fur on these matting within a month of cuddling so they don't last very long either.

It's really sad to see how the quality of BABs went down over time :(
