This plush is made of fabric, and when you squeeze it, you can tell it is not stuffing inside. It has some type of beanie material, but it is very soft.
I will have to check the year but I think it is from either 2003 or 2004.
This plush is made from a soft fuzzy material. What is different about this plush compared to the hundreds of other Pikachu plush, is the pose, Pikachu is sitting. Most plush show him standing or straight. This one will not fall backwards or forwards if you put it on a table.
This is the exact same one as the USA version that was released in 2013 or 2014 (will need to check the year of my USA version).
There were a few other Pokemon released in this line, but I only got the Pikachu ones.
The arms of this plush just makes me think of gorillas. It does not show well in the picture, but the arms really stand out on this plush.
This plush is not part of the Pikachu Carnival promotion but was released at the same time.
This plush was also released the same time the Pikachu Carnival promotion was released.
One of the items from the Pikachu Focus Promotion. This to my knowledge is the biggest Pikachu plush made.
The USA Pokemon Center has this plush available as well, and it is the same exact plush, except for tush tags and hang tags.
6 inch Pikachu Pokedoll with the 40 inch Pikachu plush.
This tag is for the 40 inch plush, but the 28 inch also has the same tag. The difference is the writing in the back that says it is either a 28 inch or 40 inch.
Normally this Pikachu plush would be very impressive, and would make any Pikachu collector excited. But compared to the 40 inch.... Personally I think they should have released this one or the 40 inch at different times. This one was also available for sale later at the US Pokemon Center.
This plush was also released as part of the Pikachu Focus Promotion.
Released with the Pikachu Foucus Promotion.
There have been many Pikachu tails released for different promotions but I can't remember which one this was from, so I'm adding it here until I figure it out.
