Found this today at Dixieland Flea Market in Waterford MI. I have a booth selling games there, so I'm able to get a jump on the cool stuff most of the time. The original owner told me he "won it in a contest". A google search shows that it may be associated with Gameworks somehow, in that it may have been a giveaway or a ticket redemption item.

In any case, he's over 4 freaking feet tall. This thing is huge. Mine is a little dirty, but should clean up easily enough. Anybody seen these before? There aren't any in ebay past auctions except for MUCH smaller ones by the same company. It's made by "Toy Network" circa 2005.

If you're local, it is for sale. If I'm not allowed to say that, somebody let me know so I can censor myself :)

I had one of those, sold it with giant Sonic and a giant Knuckles for $30 total. Might be worth more but I just wanted them gone as they're so huge.

No idea about rarity, but it's more recent and so big so I'm guessing there won't be as much interest compared to a smaller vintage plush.

I remember some amusement parks having giant stuffed Sonics & Tails-es as prizes for midway games. Good chance it could be from a fair/six flags/whatever too.

So THAT'S why Dixie has been desolate for games in the past few years when we've trekked over when we visit MI. Good to know, now we won't waste our time heading over there. :)

I've just consolidated the good stuff in to one booth. Now you can avoid some of the creepers and the less intelligent folks :P
