I had a phone call with my Dad today since I'll be visiting him for the month this Friday and apparently my newest stuffed animal I got off eBay arrived! Or technically, my oldest.
(should note this isn't the exact one I've gotten, same plush different listing.)
It's Hoppopotamus from The Wuzzles! She's my current obscure character obsession and since she's from a show made to sell children toys obviously I, the 20 year old grown man, had to buy the toy they were selling. Thankfully, it turns out the plushies of her on eBay were pretty cheap! Guess there's so little people nostalgic for it there's like zero demand for these.
Most cool thing about her is that she's the oldest stuffed animal I currently own, the oldest I've owned before was a plush of Oblina from Aahhh! Real Monsters from 1997 (I think?) and this one is from 1984. That's exactly 20 years before I was born! And currently 41 years old! The age worries me a bit because I don't know if it'll be in the best quality but I could probably fix her up if I have to. Can't be that hard, right?
I've been so excited since I heard the news that today has felt really, REALLY slow compared to normal. The next 3 days are gonna feel like the next 3 years at this point.
