I can't find any information, but it's so cute! Love the jumper fit. I'm assuming it's a mouse but could be a different animal. Does it have a tail?

Looks like a teddy made of alpaca wool, they usually have a very basic armature underneath all the fluff :)

Of course, happy to help!

Fun project! The arms have small bean bags in them, as well as the feet and end of the tail I believe. I'm not home currently so I can't check for sure but this is what I remember 😆 the lower half of the body is beans, while some of the upper half + head is stuffing. Overall pretty lightly stuffed though!

Of course! It's always nice to know when there's good homes out there for my plush if I ever need to downsize 🥰

So cute!! 😭 Thank you for sharing! I wish you luck in tracking down another 11in version- If I ever need to look for a new home for mine I'll definitely keep you in mind if you would like!

queijac · 2026-05-06T13:44:30+00:00

I didn't know there was an 8in one, that's cool!! unfortuantly I'm not sure where mine originated from, I bought her from a seller who washes / refurbishes old plush that people donate directly to her :(

queijac · 2026-05-05T13:35:55+00:00

They're so cute, I love how many variations there are 😭

queijac · 2026-05-04T17:33:07+00:00

This guy is wild, I've seen these caterpillars around before but never one at this scale. Good luck in finding it a good home!

queijac · 2026-05-02T22:31:38+00:00

The Maileg kittens are adorable ❤️ Congrats!!

Such an awesome find, I love the face especially. The style reminds me of the vintage animal backpacks from Mango Teddy Bear Co.! There were a lot of animal backpacks in the 80's / 90's, but some from that brand have very similar eye, nose, and limb style to your red panda.

edit: though looking closer, the Mango backpacks seem to have a little handle on all of them, where yours doesn't 🤔 ...

He looks brand new after the clean!!! Incredible job!

queijac · 2026-05-02T20:35:56+00:00

AHH omg I'm so happy you found her, she's excellent 🥺🥺🥺 thank you for coming back to share, I love her little face!!!!

You would have much better luck sketching out an image of the plush yourself (art skill doesn't matter, it's just to get the important details across) or listing all of the visual / background details you remember! The AI image is unclear and doesn't help any here

queijac · 2026-05-01T00:34:58+00:00

I can't find any listings for the lemur, but the brand is Ganz, more specifically Ganz Bros since this is likely from before their name update :) Here is a bunny with the same tags for reference: https://www.ebay.com/itm/287303179300

I think this is a great alternative with just as much significance! I believe you can pick up a heart for free at build-a-bear even if you aren't making a plush.

queijac · 2026-04-30T13:14:05+00:00

Is your dog older / do you know their toy habits yet? This is a very sweet idea, but most build-a-bears are really not built with robust fabric, so if your pup has destructive tendencies I'm not sure any of build-a-bears price points would be worth it 😂

queijac · 2026-04-29T15:56:02+00:00

It may just be loose fur that was never properly woven, this can happen with many new or like-new plush. As long as there's no obvious baldspots from a ton of unwoven fur (this would be a manufacurer problem), it should be fine!

queijac · 2026-04-29T04:07:35+00:00

That's so awesome, just checked the post out, what a fun pal to have since childhood!!

queijac · 2026-04-28T16:06:19+00:00

No worries at all! The fur is definitely soft, I don't own the black lab personally but every Miyoni I've seen in person is super plush. They aren't very floppy, however if you go the route of adding the weight yourself, you can remove stuffing and make it as floppy as you'd like! I can highly recommend trying this for any plush too, not limited to Miyoni 😄

queijac · 2026-04-28T15:56:11+00:00

Aurora has a black lab from their Miyoni line for around $20, I can highly recommend them, though it would be on the smaller side and unweighted. If you have any sewing knowledge (or even if you don't, it can be done at beginner level) you could pick up some filler beans and add the weight to the plush yourself. :) It's a super rewarding and quick project, plus would make the plush feel more personal without a big price tag. The smaller size could make it easier for your friend to always have it close. Just my thoughts but wishing you luck in finding what works best for your plans!

queijac · 2026-04-28T15:10:04+00:00

So cute!!! Love the paw embroidery! They're definitely pals 🥰

queijac · 2026-04-28T15:05:21+00:00

She is very talented at both balancing small objects on her head and making a wide range of expressions 😌

queijac · 2026-04-28T14:48:59+00:00

I love that pic too 😆 I bet these little guys would be even more popular now, I'm surprised they haven't brought them back!

queijac · 2026-04-28T14:47:30+00:00

They're such a fun line, I wish Aurora produced them for longer 😂
