Good Plush News!
So I just had a feeling MGA was differentiating the plush somehow and since there don't seem to be marks or pinholes..I looked at the serial numbers and low-and-behold it worked! I saw the same numbers for each plush from different boxes at different stores, so I dont think it's a fluke.
The keys are the 2nd and 3rd numbers seem to matter most..and each plush seems to have two codes, which is why some of these have a 1 and a 2 after the names of the plush.
I'm not sure if I'll get more since I have at least 1 of all 8, so if someone wants to try to find the other codes, they're stamped on the hard plastic cases each plush comes in as well as on the wrappers. The hard plastic numbers are easier to see, thats why I focused on the cases and only have one wrapper photo for comparison, haha ☺️
