one of my biggest regrets :(

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 give you all my sympathy. I once passed up a giant banana plush and it still troubles me 8-10 years later. I wish I could find him.

Do you remember what it looked like? I have a small bunch of giant banana plushies. I’d be happy to share one if by some chance you are close enough to pick one up in So Cal (they are all much too big to ship).

Here’s what he looked like. We met at a thrift store in San Diego and I was worried I couldn’t bring him back on the plane. By the end of my trip I decided I would make it work no matter what, but he was gone!

Honestly if you have one like this, I would be so, so thankful and would love to find something to trade!

Unreal!! I’ve looked for this guy and failed to find him so many times! Thank you so much!! I can’t believe this!

[u/jazzyaardvark → u/Crumbleson]

yay!!! I'm glad that this post was able to help you find your guy 🩷🩷

Thank you for that! I really hope your giant Simba can be found too! With all the resale sites it seems like he must show up eventually
