    Default Game mascot Plushies ... collecting anyone?

    I come across these plushies every once in a while... small ones and big ones, nice ones (soft and cuddly) and styrofoam filled icky ones.

    Do you all collect these as well as games consoles signs glasses and other swag from the industry?.... and where / how do you all store them?

    My favorite two are

    1. Giant Bowser (Our "Room of Doom" mascot) and

    2. Ancient Mario... I'll have to dig Mario out to show you all... he is from ~ 1984 (old school).

    I have never come across another Bowser like this though. any one else have one?
    ( I have a leatherman opened to 8 inches in front of him for scale).

    He is almost two feet tall and made By Nintendo... which i live about ten miles south of (Redmond WA).

    Let's see those cute scary collectible game history based Plushies folks... show me (and more importantly my wife) that I am not the only wacko that collects them!
    Game on!

    I too have a yoshi... He is part of a collection (yoshi,mario,lugi,wario,bowser,etc) (Regular size).. I am thinking about collecting the rest of them.. I remember when I found him in Kmart years ago in a bin, I was like OMG! I have to have you (yoshi)
    Till this day he sits on top of my TV.

    I have a few but of course the one that everyone asks about is the giant Sonic...





    Flea market find for a couple bucks, might of actually been a dollar - I'd need to dig up the finds thread. Anyway, he sits at my dining room table these days.

    My giant sonic resides in my office, often on a couch.

    I have smaller versions of him and as well Knuckles and Tails there.

    Sad ...when one has to use office space for storage when room at home has become minimal...

    Great conversation starters though....

    I thought... Once ... of having an arcade machine in my office as well but... well... didn't do it.

    Professors aren't supposed to have stuff like that in their offices....

    I don't collect them per se, but if I find one at a thrift for a good price I'll snatch it up and give it to my kids. So towards that end we've accumulated a few Sonics and Pikachus of assorted sizes.

    The last really good one I had was a medium sized Wario, which I wound up trading to one of my son's friends for a plushie of - wait for it - Richard Nixon. Good trade!

    I guess I have the "medium Sonic" from that same line. I also have a small plushie Sonic in my car. My ridin' buddy. When I take a corner too fast he rolls from side to side in the backseat.

    I'd kill Nuns on Summer Solstice or All Hallows Eve for a plush Q*Bert. I'd also consider it for Knickerbocker Ms.Pacs.

    I nab plushies whenever I can and my favorite so far is my K.K. Slider. I'm just a sucker for Animal Crossing stuff for some reason.

    I've got three Carbuncle Puyo Puyo plushes that I've gotten my hands on over the years. One is pretty big, like 18" tall and holding a green puyo. I also have two smaller Carbuncles, one fuzzy and one that talks.

    I have a 12" Tails doll somewhere, but it's in storage because it only brings back bad memories.

    I do however have a 6" tall Psyduck on my computer desk.
