Unpopular opinion: Am I the only one who thinks the pre-1992 Chuck E. Cheese plushies look creepy?
Before you comment, this is not an 3am/Arcade craniacs inspired bullshit. It is actually what I think. First, I have always been a HUGE plush collector and was very happy to have a few Chuck E. Cheese plushies in my room. When I first received this specific one above which is from 1988, I was gathering some uncanny feelings. First, I have always been creeped out of plushies with plastic eyes or plastic faces and parts. Especially those ones before the 1990s so I was expecting full joy from him, but when he came, he feels off from the average modern plushies I love and grew up with. His plastic eyes felt ominous and every time I get into eye contact with the thing, the Mario Kart 64 Banshee Boardwalk theme immediately plays in my head, feeling that I have bad omen. Does that mean he is bad? No. I actually love that he is creepy same to how I love Animatronics and Lalaloopsy since they are both creepy in my vision. Which is why that he holds special place in my heart since plushies right now aren't really made in this old plush style often, anymore. Which is such a shame since I loved the creepy charm older plushies give me.
