G3 Large laying plush - how many? + appreciation thread!
« on: April 24, 2018, 09:53:37 AM »
Hi everyone!
How many of the large laying plushies are there (fluffy and fabric hair)?
Here are the ones I know of, are there any others? I’d love to own them all one day!

Here is a list of the ones I know of:
2004/5? tag:
Toola Roola
Fluttershy
Rainbow Dash
Pinkie Pie
Sweetsong
Shenanigans (fabric hair)
Tink a tink a too (fabric hair)

2007
Pinkie Pie (25th symbol on foot)

2008
Pinkie pie - different material, single eye colour, dark reddish brown logo, rounder head? Does anyone know the origins of this version?

Are there any others? Thanks for all your help,
Mlp Sunsparkle x

There was one of Sunny Daze as well. She might have been given out through the hoof points program? I know they gave one plush out through that and I always thought it was one of these, as I can’t imagine them trying to do it with the large standing ones.

Actually I feel like I might have seen one of Twinkle Twirl in the shops as a child as well but I’m prettyyy sure that was never actually something they made haha.

It’s weird that they never made Minty! (As far as I know)

I have one of the large Sunny Dazes.  ^.^ I'm not her original owner, though! So I'm not sure how she was originally acquired.
She has fluffy hair instead of the fabric hair.

Looking online I see Sunny Daze and Sparkleworks also.

I only have Sweetsong and Toola Roola. I would have loved to have Shenanigans since she is one of my favorite ponies, but I never saw her for sale here. That is awesome they made one of her too.

Giant plush Frilly Frocks was actually the one through the mail order hoof points program. She was originally $2.50 from Hasbro (the shipping cost they charged--I think they meant for it to be $25).

I have one of those. I have a feeling she was bought for me in Australia by a Jem friend but I may be getting confused. I have her and plush Sparkleworks who right now I can't find and one came from Australia and one from the US. This was back when shipping was not as completely insane as it is now! I genuinely don't remember which way around but one of them was bought for me by my Aussie friend. She has fluffy hair. So does Sparkleworks but she is standing. Sunny Daze is a large pillow.

I also have Sweet Song who I think is from the set with your new Shenanigans. I remember them being at...I want to say TRU although i went there so rarely, but I am certain I remember seeing them both at that point. I remember Toola Roola as well...? But I think it was TRU.

There is the starcatcher backpack as well if that counts. It's basically a hollow plush toy with straps, so I count it xD.

Edit: after asking google, it looks like Sparkleworks is the Australian one.  So Sunny Daze must have come from the US.

That’s awesome to hear! I’m surprised there’s no minty too.
Hopefully I can get my hands on them one day! I love the star catcher backpack, and I hope I find her at ponycon or the car boot one day, she’s super cute!

Here is a link to shenanigans’ ended listing

More on Shenanigans and Tinka below:
Spoiler
I can’t see the other side of her tag but the fabric hair makes me think fairground plush. Her and Tinka seem pretty hard to find, so it’s possible they were not store sold. They are quite large too, so if they were at the fair then they’d be top prize (and we all know how easy it is to win those... not.) that could explain why they’re so scarce. I have seen each come up for sale once in the last few years (shenanigans last night)

Thinking about it, I think I have seen some pyjama cases which are the same shape but a little smaller. They have no symbols and I think I remember them being in connection with France in some way? I think there’s an all pink one and white with pink hair.

Oh gosh I remember those pajama cases but only just barely. I think you're right that they're French, though I saw a listing for one on Ebay from the UK just now.

The lack of Minty makes me a bit sour, tbh. In Canada we didn't get the standing plushes, so we didn't get any large Minty plushes and I would've liked one. That being said I do have a Toola-Roola pillow plush if you're looking for one.

I have a selection of various G3 plushes with the fabric hair, and I would say your Shenanigans there is very likely not a prize plush, imo. The fabric of her body is of a higher calibre than the G3 plushes I've seen at fairs (always knock-offs) or the smaller ones I have that were likely from a UFO catcher (Are the western ones called crane games? claw machines? the ones full of stuffed animals you need to try and grab with a mechanical arm thing). It's the same material as my two pillow girls (I also have Sweetsong but she's staying with me for now) and also every other G3 plush I have that I don't suspect of being a UFO toy. If you'd like some pictures of the fabric-haired ones I could take some.

Also wow do I like that fabric hair more than the long-pile faux fur. Shenanigans is so precious!

Great news, Shenanigans arrived today!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I have compared her to some other plushies that I own, including the regular sized shenanigans. They have the same tag, except the large one has 2004, not 2005. Otherwise they are the same. Does anyone know how these fabric hair ponies were sold? If they were store sold, then I believe that this Shenanigans also was. She is the same size as the other laying plushies, an all embroidery is the same but scaled up to fit her. There is no sign of Nanco, ITM leisure or pms tags, so it is very likely that she is not a prize.

I have some comparison pics on my Flickr if you want to see them. Also, Nonnavlis, Thank you very much for the kind offer but I have 2 toolas in my herd currently! I felt bad for the second as she hasn’t much hair left and is all faded!

Taffeta, did you remember seeing Shenanigans in toysrus? I think the year would line up right.

Feel free to talk about, or post pics of any of yours, they’re so cute and cuddly!

I LOOOOVE that Shenanigans!!! I have the big plush Toola Roola (the old design of her, not the Core 7 one) with the floofy hair. She's one of my fav G3s! I got her at Goodwill and washed her and she came out great!

If my memory is correct, I remember seeing Shenanigans, Toola Roola and Sweet Song. But Sweet Song has puffy hair, not fabric hair - I bought her so I know that. So I can't be sure I saw them on the same occasion. I am really sure I did see her there though.  I didn't go to TRU often, and I don't remember seeing G3 big plush anywhere else.

I seem to have lost my photos of those.  I had them in photobucket, and deleted my account months ago, because I assumed I had everything on my hard drive. I'd re-take them, but they are packed away at the moment.

Wow! What beautiful plushies you all have! I love them so much, thank you everyone for sharing pics and info! :biggrin:
halicabi, here are some pictures of my 2008 pinkie in the spoiler  ^.^. She has an assortment number on her foot, so I’m guessing she’s a Hasbro store release of some kind. I found her at a car boot sale. I have never seen half of those plushies before!

Here are my girls!
