  • From Bonzi Buddy to Bubsy, let's look at some of the weirdest promotional plushes you can find!
    I've always looked at plushes and toys in general as a form of art, however it is true that many of them are made purely for marketing purposes. Many companies released plush toys to advertise their brands and franchises, no matter how iconic they are. In this video, I'll be going over some of the wackiest and craziest brand promotions I can find, or at least ones that I find interesting. We're covering plushes like Bonzi Buddy, DeviantArt's Fella, Tony's Pizza and even Bubsy, along with many more you may find interesting. While these are purely marketing material most of the time, many have fascinating stories, and that's what I'm covering today.

    If you've ever wanted a PatMac video where I talk about the history of plushes of characters like Bonzi Buddy, Bubsy and more, you've come to the right place. Believe it or not, this was originally intended to not go up on April Fools. I was originally going to release it yesterday, but I realized since the subject matter is so strange compared to my previous videos, it worked perfectly. In that case, HAPPY APRIL FOOLS! But don't be fooled, this video is no joke.
    This will likely end up being one of the strangest videos I ever make, so I hope you all enjoy it! This was really fun to research and create, and it was a blast collecting what I needed for this video. Yes, I do actually own the Bonzi Buddy plush. Thank you all for watching, and be sure to subscribe, share this video, or even simply comment if you want to see more videos like this one! Thanks!

Fella isn't in the best quality right now, but he's still our little fella. I actually had no idea until now that the deviantART store closed, guess the merch we own is kinda valuable now.

Using their site feels like stepping into the past, but somehow it's still maintained and they're still making goofy (but fun) PC games which look like they're about 15 years old.

    Probably the rarest promo plush I have is the Green Cybunny Neopets one. The older one was officially released, but this newer one was limited to a 1000 release contest. I’ve had her for years and love her, but it’s very clear she was on the lower end of the Cybunny plush scale (and yes, I collected them all as a kid). Notably, her ruff markings were painted on, compared to other Cybunnies that had different plush colors on them. As such, the twelve-year-old “Millie” (as I call her) has almost no sign of the pink spots that used to be around her neck, and her tag has since fallen off, but she is otherwise in excellent condition. I suspect very few of the sweepstakes Green Cybunnies still have their spots.

      This happened with the gold star shiny Entei, Suicune, and Raikou pokemon cards that are supposed to be 1 in every 72 extremely expensive booster packs, a while ago some dutch dude on ebay got a binder of 5000 of them somehow and pokemon card investors called them illegal and inauthentic when tons of them have been graded by PSA with no problem. I think it's far more likely they got printed for some tournament that got cancelled than the conspiracy theory they're spouting when they were only worth like $10 when they came out in 2005. They're still worth like hundreds of dollars now so it didn't really drive the value down. Rich people never want anybody to be able to enjoy anything without having to pay a fortune so they throw tantrums over something as simple as an extra copy of an extremely limited pokemon card granted to the person who designed it.

    Nya, The world of rare and promotional plush is quite a journey, a continuous discovery of things that you would never imagine existed.
    I still remember my perplexity when I accidentally found a plush of Geoffrey the giraffe, the Toys"R"us mascot. (in his 80s design) A toy store mascot plush? Inception! Needless to say, to this day it still occupies a preferential place in my house.
    My mother was working in a dairy company, with a very close relationship with the marketing department and once she brought home two Millaquito and Millaquita plushies, the Millac milk mascots. If I hadn't seen them with my eyes I would have had a hard time believing they were real.
    I once heard about the supposed existence of a plush of the clown Nikki, the mascot of the Nikki toy store, and another one of Moncho, the mascot of Monchitos, a puffed rice snack, but at the moment they are just legends. Who knows?
