Hi everybody! :D
It's been 3 years since I've posted something which is terrible, but I've always been lurking! I hope you all are doing well.
I wanted to post to bring this super duper cute Ampharos plush to everybody's attention. I believe it is a GameStop exclusive, given that it has the GameStop logo right on top of the tag!
Here is the plush in its box. It was $19.99 at GameStop, and right now they are having a sale for BOGO 50% off Pokemon plush so it may be worth a look to find others you like too!
This is the back of the box with all of that Pokedex-y goodness.
Glamour shot! This Ampharos is super soft and huggable! WCT does a great job on their plush for sure. As you can see, it doesn't really stand up "straight," but instead leans on its tail for support.
Just a note, the stripes are dyed into the fabric, and not separate black fabric. You can see residual yellow when you look at the seams real close, but not from a distance.
The only thing that I'm not 100% happy with on this plush is the size of the red ball on the end of its tail. I feel like they could've made it a little bigger to match the usual proportions without compromising tail strength, but it's still cute.
Some Ampharos plush have 3D toes, but this one has flat toes made of just one layer of fabric. They're still soft like the rest of it, so no weird fabric changes for certain parts like some plush have, but this design choice is a bit different from others so I thought I'd mention it.
And to end the post, here is a shot of my Ampharos family! Even though I don't technically collect Ampharos, I really can't stay away from select few plush, especially when they're available to purchase at a store I was at anyway!
That's all I've got for this short Ampharos report! It really is a nice plush, and I'm glad WCT is doing a good job on plush thus far at least. Now they just have to step up their figure game haha!
I hope that everybody who wants to add this Ampharos to their collection can find one! <3
