Title: 8 Inch Wuzzles cousins?
Post by: Mlp Sunsparkle on August 25, 2018, 10:13:28 AM: Hi everyone,
Today I found a Koalakeet Wuzzle. On ghost of the doll it says that only the originals were produced as 8 inch plush, and that the cousins only came as 12 inch size. Koalakeet is a perfect match to the 12 inch version but is much smaller. The blue eyes are most likely from fading (they’re a light purple) Her wings are the exact same, and the feet have the card padding just like the g1 plushies. I cannot find a tag on her.
What do you think? Is she just a really good fake?

Rainbow Brite fakies can be hard to tell because molds were copied with markings. A lot of trickery was afoot in the 1980's with toys... He is absolutely adorable, you're fortunate to have him in your collection!

What’s also odd (and adds to the fake theory) is that I found it in a box of early 2000s stuff, with a g3, but then again it seems a bit late and irrelevant to fake it so long after? Or maybe it belonged to a parent?

Thank you for the instagram link, I’ll definitely ask them!

Edit: after looking at the Instagram page, I found that it is real! At least Koalakeet and Tycoon were made in this size! Although they say 6 inch, when mine is more 8-9 inch, but that’s probably just due to batch difference. Either way I’m happy to say I have three official Wuzzles now :P

(I would guess the fake RB was a hand me down.)
