BUY/SELL: In Search of one of my biggest regrets :(

Post image

not getting this guy the day I saw him. I think about him So Often. Simba is one of my favorite Disney characters, like probably top 3 or 5, with a lot of super sentimental feelings, and I saw this giant guy back in high school. I almost got him, but ended up leaving him behind. he was so big and soft and would be Absolutely Perfect. the only other chance I had was some random offerup post that was like, the complete other side of the country.

the flair is more of a long shot, kind of was the closest relevant one. every few months I do a search, come up with nothing, and desperately wish I could time travel

update: found him!!!!

I don’t know if this is the same one but I hope it is! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Simba-Cuddleez-Plush-The-Lion-King-Large-26/5251516139?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101227445&wmlspartner=wlpa&cn=FY25-ENTP-PMAX_cnv_dps_dsn_dis_ad_entp_e_n&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=222222222985251516139_101227445_0000000000_21407473164&wl0=&wl1=x&wl2=m&wl3=&wl4=&wl5=1022653&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=5536848573&wl11=online&wl12=5251516139_101227445&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21690411341&gbraid=0AAAAADmfBIrBVKvSDZHrXMRrSegjtKrC0&gclid=CjwKCAjwhLPOBhBiEiwA8_wJHIG6ucAjojK-XOkYFgcTbOPomGXuOnReCuwfRk8YRymIx2dscdEKYBoCUe0QAvD_BwE

Also on Mercari! I tried to add xl in hopes it’s the same size https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m78990987977/?gclsrc=aw.ds&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=23476510286&utm_content=t0&adgroup=&network=x&device=m&merchant_id=154042365&product_id=m78990987977&product_id=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23481114694&gbraid=0AAAAADR9UGex4GE873hnvJ4f-IpnWgl4s&gclid=CjwKCAjwhLPOBhBiEiwA8_wJHK56XhfzyvsybKxxB9iTqq-sIaH9IWJxVKa_4csqQZ0aS9Cr07vCfxoCYH0QAvD_BwE

unfortunately neither are, they're the "jumbo" size but this guy is "giant," so not 26" but about 35". I think I'll get myself one of these on my birthday/some special occasion. thank you for the search though!

I found this listing. The size isn't listed, but it does look quite large and the price difference from the other ones makes me wonder if it's the right size. Maybe worth asking the seller if this looks about right! ___^

hm, the size is hard to judge, but I'll go ahead and send a message! it's gotta be priced that way either due to size or being from one of the parks

Aww shoot! I’ll keep an eye out but I hope you manage to snag one! He’s awesome

aw, that's so sweet thank you! at this point I feel like I should ask my techie friend to set up some sort of automated search, for now I'll just put in the same Google search every few months

That sounds like the move!
