Can anyone ID this silly looking Bolt plush?

My best friend has had this Bolt plush for as long as I can remember, she got me into Bolt. I just got my own big Bolt plush last week, but mine isn’t cross-eyed while hers is.

She’s been suspecting it may be a counterfeit (bootleg), however I’ve never seen a counterfeit Bolt plushie. I also doubt this because the fur-fabric is the same as my authentic Bolt.

However hers is cross-eyed and one of the paw pads isn’t 100% brown (always been like that.)

I think it might be a factory error. Or maybe it’s just means to look that way?
Her Bolt doesn’t have a tag anymore I think.

Hers doesn’t have a collar anymore because it fell off.

Crossed out her arms for privacy.

Hi!! I collect wolf plushies and found this fella at the thrift. I just saw it’s a Neopet plushie. Who is this little guy?💙

I’ve never played Neopets (but now I might because this fella is so cute!) I was wondering who they are and maybe some cute info on them, figured this is the best place to ask!

Best part is that the thrift store volunteer gave me it for free. I can’t wait to give him a wash and put him with the other wolves :)

Edit 1:

I made an account!!! It’s wolfthelupe if you want to neofriend me :)

Edit 2:
Thanks everyone that’s commented info and kind things, I didn’t expect such a sweet community or interaction like this at all!

Hang in there!

Hi it’s me and Magpie again :)

I’ll be very inactive soon I imagine because I will be going to a new school (college/uni) to study something akin to marine science. (But different.) I’m very scared to make this step because if It all works out I’ll have to move closer to the school as current travel takes me 1.5 hours.

I’m scared of new people and everything that will come at me. But I really hope I will enjoy this new path in my life.

I don’t like you (deflates your Bolt)

I got this big Bolt plushie today and he had some stains from being in storage- so I had to take his plush stuffing out to wash him😭 but he looked so silly I wanted to share!!

Extra bonus picture of him and Mittens in the washing tub!

u/Zireael_Coastalwolf — 7 days ago

Need a little advice… I hope there’s fellow plush collectors that can help me out! (Please read full description!)

The Lion King has recently become a comfort of mine after a traumatic event, I’ve found a lot of comfort in its media.

I got this pretty big Simba plush for €5 and I love it so much! However his mane is slightly dryer burnt. I’ve watched some tutorials on how to soften it on YouTube but these were all done on plush with different fur textures. Maybe it works the same- but I figured people here with their own TLK plush collection might be able to give me some tips on how to soften it. I’m aware dryer burn is permanent, but I really want to maintain it and try to just get it that little bit softer.

In the picture I already brushed it out pre-washing to see how bad it was. After washing with conditioner (and brushing it through) and such it’s still a weird scratchy texture which I can’t stand to touch a lot (I’m neurodivergent). I guess after this I will have to try the blow dryer method. Does anyone have any advice?

u/Zireael_Coastalwolf — 12 days ago

I hope it’s okay to ask here. I want to get one of these plushies, is the fabric of their mane scratchy?

Hi! First time here. I hope it’s okay to ask.

I’m looking to get one of these (or maybe both) second hand.

I am hyperfixated on tlk and Mufasa is my favourite character right now! :)

I am autistic and scratchy fur that’s commonly found on male-lion plushies really bothers me. So asking again, is their mane scratchy? (I don’t know how to describe it, but instead of feeling soft it’s kind of well… rough? Scratchy)

We had the most tasty curry udon! What did you do today/yesterday?

I had these yesterday and they were so fricking delicious, it’s a shame the place I ate them is so far away from where I live.

Yesterday I went to a big mall and me, my girlfriend (and magpie) found 4 new plushies I took home with me. Two of them are I think my new most favourite plushies EVER. Their texture is so good, they’re so expressive and floppy and I’m just so in love with them! I’ll post about them later maybe. They are two dragons <3.

The other plush I got was a Teddy Hermann Border Collie and a Puffin plushie.
I collect puffin plushies and items because they are my favourite animals, this one was an “adopt me” plushie from Roblox.
I used to play that game when it just came out but I don’t like it as much as I did then! But their puffin plush is really cute!

And lastly today I went out with my girlfriend’s family! We went “Mini Golfing”, went to a planetarium and it was really fun :)⭐️✨🌟💫☄️🌌🌠

My girlfriend surprised me again, two new plush friends to add to my pack!

I initially wanted to get the Sheltie but my girlfriend said I should add the lab to my order too, I asked her why and she said as a gift. I wanted the Labrador a week or 3 ago but it was sold out, but it got restocked surprisingly and I’m so happy!!!! I think the lab is going to become an ESSA, I love their fur texture!!

I kind of want to name the Labrador Shadowheart after the character from Baldurs Gate 3 as I’ve been really into that game, and I really like Shadowheart’s personality. But it does sound a little too edgy for my liking. Maybe I’ll change it to Selûne or Shar like the Goddesses in the game/DnD!

As for the Sheltie, I literally just designed a fursona who is a border collie with sable markings, so I’m thinking about giving her a similar name to my sona, which would be Aran! <3

Or maybe I’ll name the lab Shar and the Sheltie Selûne!!🖤🤍

My thrift finds from last week and this week! Who’s your favourite???

In every thriftstore I pray to the thrift Gods to let me find either Littlest Pet Shop figures, Puffin items and/or Douglas plush. Lps and Puffins are rare and Douglas plushies are probably impossible since they are not sold in my country (except for one store.)

But I did find some absolute cuties!!! I’m not sure I’ll keep all of them but yeah! (My girlfriend or my best friend might steal some)

I collect wolves and dog plush maybe. I also love to collect marine birds :)

My favourite is the big yellow bird… his name is Banana and he is planning world domination.

I think my luckiest find is the Mittens plush from my favourite childhood movie Bolt!!!! My dad got me a Bolt when I was like 7 years old. Merch of it in my country is VERY rare!! And the Aurora brand Jack Russel terrier!

I had a bad evening and I’m still sad about it. Can you show me your favourite plushie and a fun fact about them?

Long story short, I am autistic and I’m really bad at accepting that plans can change last minute, this time it happened and it ruined my mood, I was really looking forward to something which couldn’t happen and I’m extremely sad about it. I love plushies and I just need something to cheer me up.

Edit: thank you everyone that shared or is still sharing pictures, I hope other people that read all your comments also feel better🧸❤️

I found a new best friend this week ☀️🐺

I’ve been wanting this Steiff Snorry Wolf for ages but just couldn’t find one online, well, I could but I couldn’t justify the €120 price tag it has on some sites.

Earlier this week we went to a store and I found this little guy discounted to €90… which, okay, it’s a lot of money I know. I collect wolf plush and I love this guy’s face so much and I saved up some holiday money and so I spent it on him. I got a 10% discount and I paid €81 instead of €120 which is a win to me! He’ll be coming with me on adventures sometimes :)

Name suggestions :)? I prefer fantasy names, I don’t like people names or names like Wood, Fern etc. (I’m picky sorry!)

Me and Magpie went on a short hike yesterday to watch the sunset🌅

We wanted to take our real dog who is also a border collie, but we had a busy day and she was very tired so she stayed at home.

I’ve been really nervous to take her (Magpie, not my real dog) out with me, I’ve noticed for some reason when she isn’t wearing any harnesses people stare less. So I might take her harness off more often to make me feel less paranoid :(

u/Zireael_Coastalwolf — 1 month ago

A new guy arrived before I went on vacation, Douglas Alps Bernese Mountain Dog! Name suggestions :)?

I fell in love with this fella after I saw a video of them online. But now that I own them myself… wow they are huge!
I can’t really take them with me when I go places because of their size- making it hard to bond with them. I like their size and their fur wasn’t my thing at first (it’s sort of scratchy) but I do kind of like it now.

I want to name them after a Baldurs Gate 3 character but I’m not sure who yet, maybe I’ll name them after my Tav, a tiefling rogue named Vaelys :).

u/Zireael_Coastalwolf — 2 months ago

Magpie and our newest friend; “Douglas Howl Wolf”, name suggestions :)?

You can also see Magpie’s newest pin of wel.. a magpie on her harness!

Name suggestions for our new friend? I would LOVE fantasy (think lord of the rings type of names) names :)

His tag says he was made in 2012! :o

u/Zireael_Coastalwolf — 2 months ago

Magpie came on vacation with me! We went to thrift stores and explored the woods today, what did you do today?

I had the most delicious chicken wrap today, and got a really cute plushie at a thrift store :)! They’re in the wash right now but I can’t wait to cuddle them.

I went to pick up 2 packages, but the delivery point gave me 3. One is NOT my package, but only has a “return” GLS label on it, What do I do? (Please read everything)

Please read all!

For context, I am in Europe.

I am a plushie collector, and I bought a plush and a jacket off of Vinted, went to pick them up, sent my dad inside and he comes out with 3 packages. My mom thought one of them might be a book she ordered off of Vinted and maybe was delivered early.

Now this wasn’t odd because:
One package was in the shape of a plush
One package was a big box with a jacket inside
And the other package was quite flat.

So I opened the plush package first… only to reveal a plush I didn’t order. At first I thought I got scammed or sent the wrong plush (happened before). Then I opened the box with the jacket and lastly the mystery package….
It had the plush that I DID order inside!

So uh. Now I have two plushies, one that I didn’t order.

So I went back to the pick up spot and the lady at the counter explained that she already scanned the package and now she can’t see any information about the package. She didn’t offer to take it back.

What confuses me more is that the pickup spot only takes 2 delivery services, Mondial and Vinted Go, and this package is a GLS package.

On top of it all, I am going on vacation right now, like literally right now so I can’t really do anything about it at the moment.

Is there anything I can do? There isn’t much info on the label :(

Edited: image is the plush I received that I didn’t purchase, maybe someone recognises it!

Show me these two Douglas Labrador plush please?

I’m still looking for a new buddy to take on holiday with me. I also have my eyes on these guys (I’ve posted previously about the Shiba Inu).

I have a few questions that will help me if any plush-owners of these plush can help me :)

&gt; the Jake Dlux plush poseable despite laying down or kind of floppy?

(Answered already)
> Is the Dlux permanently in a laying down postition or able to stand up like Chester?
> I know it’s kind of obvious but for sensory issues I’m going to ask just in case: is DluxJake more “fluffy”, a bit more long coated than Chester? Chester looks more short coated.

I know I could look up pictures but the kind people in this subreddit are very helpful so I wanted to ask here :)

u/Zireael_Coastalwolf — 2 months ago

I restored a new friend!🐅 before and after on other slides!!🧡🖤

I got this guy plus his cheetah boyfriend at a flea market together for €2, I usually don’t collect plushies that aren’t canines or dragons but these guys are SO floppy and have so many beans in them they’re so perfect for holding, I couldn’t pass them up!

However, little tiger bud here lost all his stripes! So I gave him and his boyfriend a wash and drew on his new stripes!! I hope he likes them :)

Name suggestions for him and his cheetah bf are very welcome ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🤎🖤 (happy pride month!)

u/Zireael_Coastalwolf — 2 months ago

My girlfriend surprised me with a Hokkaidō-ken plush!🤍🐕 Name suggestions?

Brand: Hansa Creations / Hansa Toys
Animal: Hokkaidō-ken, a dog breed originating from Hokkaidō, Japan.

I’m over the moon for this lil’ (big, actually) guy! He’s quite firm, but huggable and his front legs are poseable as well as his front and back paws! I love his chonky face so much!

I’m looking for more unique names, gender doesn’t matter!, I totally see him running some kind of tea shop, so maybe something tea-themed or maybe food themed :) (I’m not looking for Japanese names specifically)

(preferably no names commonly given to humans such as uhh Reginald or Bob, no offense to any Reginalds or Bobs!!!)

Edit: I named him Sencha, after a type of Japanese green tea! Thank you for the suggestions :)
