Searching - CARTER'S Just One Year Musical PINK with Purple Flowers BUNNY

This bunny has turned out to be one of our most requested toys. So many families have asked for help finding one that I fear I may have lost track of someone who needs one.

We received an email this morning thanking on of our readers, Jennifer, for helping Mandy find one she had asked for a long time ago.

So, I am running the request again for Venessa, who I think is the only one who still needs one. If I find anyone else among my files who never did get one, I will add their name, too, and if you are one of those looking and I need to add your name to this new post, please let me know.

I am looking for a pink bunny. It is made by Carter's Just One Year. I purchased the bunny in the Spring of 2006. It is about 11 inches tall, pink with purple flowers on it. It has a musical pull on the back.

Please, I really need another one...

Thanks so much,
Jessica

FOUND - Very Hard to Find LARGE WHITE PUFFALUMP LAMB

Greg wrote to me not long ago, and I wanted to share this happy ending with you.

I am looking for a White Puffalump Lamb, Fisher Price #8009, My girlfriend has had it since a few months after she was born, and her sister's dog shredded what was left of it last week. It would mean a lot to her if she could get another.

Knowing this is a very hard to find lamb, I wrote back, telling him not to get his hopes up. As I always do, I spent some time searching for this lovey, and was surprised to actually find one for sale on eBay. Granted, it was not cheap, but Greg did get my urgent email telling him where he could find it. He's written back with this happy conclusion:

My name is Greg, and you were able to direct me to a vintage 1986 Puffalump Lamb on e-bay. I just wanted to let you know that I won the auction, and the Lamb has been given to my girlfriend. It is exactly like the one she has had since her birth that was destroyed recently.

When I gave it to her she just stared at it for about 30 seconds in silence, stunned. Then spent a good while squeezing it, and crying because she was so happy. It means more to her than just about anything I can imagine. I just thought you might want to know how wonderfully happy you helped make a very special person. Thank you so very much. I hope your business does very well. Anyone I know who might be able to use your site, I will refer in a heartbeat.

Thanks Again,
Greg

I really appreciate Greg taking the time to tell me how happy his girlfriend was.

I wanted all you dear folks to know that I really do try hard to help each and every one of you. Our Search Service averages over a thousand readers a week, and my inbox fills up every day with requests for help. We do sell plush toys, so sometimes we have the item in stock people are looking for, and occasionally we make an immediate sale.

Usually I can find one or two lovies on the Internet the first day I get the email, simply because I have learned from experience how to search for plush toys. And I find even more within a few days. So a lot of toys are found, such as Greg's, without anything showing up on this blog at all.

Right now I have about 75 or so requests that I have emailed the person, asking for more information or a photo, and for most of those I have already done an initial search on the Internet. There are about 50 requests that are ready to post as soon as I can get time to do it, some with good photos, and some with poor ones that I have tried to edit into presentable condition.

Lately we have had several requests asking if we make a certain toy. No, we do not make the toys, only find them. We can, however, suggest that families contact two ladies who are quite skilled at making replicas, Susan and Hanna. Their links are on the sidebar.

We get lots of emails from folks wanting to know how the posting works.

I have our email address hidden in a Contact form, so we do not get flooded with spam. I also try to protect the email addresses of the people writing to us. We value our privacy and yours!

There is no way for a reader to directly post a photo, although some do write their requests in a comment. That's fine, but for the best results you need to Contact Us with a complete description and a brief story about why you are looking for the item. I will get back to you as soon as possible, so you can send the photos by reply email.


Please be sure you use an email address that is correct, and that you will be using for a long time!! I can't help you if I can't contact you!! That includes those who post comments as Anonymous.

Searching - DANDEE White BUNNY with a FLORAL PINK STRIPED BOW

We're looking for a white plush bunny made by DanDee, and probably sold in 2001 or 2002. She has pink inside her ears, and wears a floral and striped pink bow.

I received the bunny at a baby shower for my daughter, and Big Bunny became her favorite toy. Last year, when my daughter was 4, Big Bunny went missing. Still not sure where we might have lost her. Maybe at my daughter's pre-school (Germantown Friends) or at the North Light Community Center in Roxborough. (We live in Philadelphia.)

But I did everything I could to try and find her. (Even talked to a psychic.) My daughter still cries sometimes over Big Bunny's loss. I would really like to be able to replace her.

Thanks so much for your service!

Lisa

FOUND - Large GREEN & YELLOW FROG - KELLYTOY

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taddy was indeed found. When the frog came in the mail this weekend we were a little unsure of how to give it back to him because his original frog was missing an eye and this one was so new and clean.

So we decided to just leave the frog on the floor to see if he would recognize it. We called him downstairs and as soon as he saw Taddy his eyes lighted up and the look on his face was priceless. At last his friend came home. He ran to it and instantly called him Taddy. Everything was right in his world again.

I am so glad I came across your site when I was combing the Internet for the frog. Your help is very much appreciated. And a BIG THANK YOU to the person who found it on ebay!

I am desperately looking for a green stuffed frog that came from a crane machine at Kroger's. It is a KellyToy frog.

We won it for our nephew, Kairu, and it became his best friend. He does everything with him and refuses to sleep without his Taddy. On a trip to the grocery store Taddy was lost. We've been looking everywhere to replace him, but cannot find it.

Could you please help?
Thank you.

Searching - GRAY RUMPLE BEAR by Fisher Price

I'm looking for the gray Rumple bear (Hugsey by Fisher Price). My husband got one from his mother when he was just a little boy. He was going through a rough time then, and when his Momma gave it to him, she said, "Always keep this with you, and any time you get scared you hug that bear and think of me, and he will protect you."

I thought that was the sweetest thing. But we have moved three times now, and he seems to have lost it along the way. This bear meant a lot to him, and well, now he is a new Daddy, and he was hoping to give that bear to his little girl.

If you happen to come across one, please contact me.

THANK YOU

This particular Rumple is extremely hard to find. If you can help Jessica find this gray Rumple bear by Fisher Price, please Contact Us, including #010608-3 in the subject, or Comment Here.

Searching - 70's STUFFED MUSICAL TIGER Plays Hold that Tiger!

I am searching for a small stuffed tiger music box which plays "Hold that Tiger." Its head moves as it plays. It was probably made between 1973-1978. I think either J C Penney's or Pranges may have sold it. Do you have any suggestions that may aid my search? I don't know who the manufacturer is.

Thank you,
Amy

Searching - HERO HIPPO 80's Plush Hippopotamus

This is NOT the Hippo she is looking for, but my attempt to come close to what it looked like.

I am looking for a stuffed toy Hippo from the 1980's. It was about 8-10 inches high, had on a shirt (might have been an orange shirt,) that said HERO on the front. I believe it was a tan color (Now that I look at your picture I'm thinking it was a lighter color more beige.), short legs, the shirt was orange and had written HERO or HIPPO HERO on it. A size for a younger child or toddler to easily hold and carry.

This is a stuffed animal my 28 year old son vividly remembers fondly, and now he has a 3 month old son, and I thought it would be fun to find one for him. Your picture is very close ~ the shirt was I believe short sleeve or sleeveless, and he was thinner - not so plump and stiff.

Thanks for all your interest. If I can find an original one, it would be a wonderfully fun surprise for my son and sentimental gift for my grandson

FOUND - ANIMAL ADVENTURE PURPLE DUCK

Hello, I am the mother of a beautiful little girl who needs her best friend replaced. Her friend is a purple toy stuffed duck from Animal Adventure. I went to their website and was sad to find out that you can not simply order a replacement duck. They only sell to retailers. Please if anyone knows where I can find one.

You see her poor little duck is in bad shape. I actually tried to throw it away and had purchased a yellow duck. She threw it down and actually went and got her duck from the trash.

It has to be exactly the same. I would really appreciate any help. She has had the duck since birth.

I purchased it at Krogers, but have not seen one since 2005, when I bought the original.

Thanks!

Seaching - PUPPY LOVE Vintage Stuffed DOG

My granddaughter was born on November 20th.

I've been searching for "Puppy Love" since the day we found out she was on the way.

My daughter has had her "Puppy Love" on her bed since my mother gave it to her 30 years ago. It's my hope that I can locate one for my granddaughter to love and cherish. She is anxiously awaiting her very own "Puppy Love". I have told her all about him and she is very excited!

He's a bit forlorn looking and has had most of his upper fur pulled out because my daughter used him as a stress reliever and picked it all out. His manufacturers tag is now just a bit of fiber and is completely unreadable.

Thank you for any help you can provide,
Debbie

FOUND - CARTER'S Just One Year Musical PINK with Purple Flowers BUNNY

*This bunny was run over in traffic, so it may not look exactly like one in better condition.

I am looking for a pink bunny. It is made by Carter's Just One Year. I purchased the bunny in the Spring of 2006. It is about 11 inches tall, pink with purple flowers on it. It has a musical pull on the back.

Please, I really need another one...

Thanks so much,
Jessica

Jessica is not the only one searching for this same pink bunny rabbit.

Michelle recently wrote me with this story:

I too am looking for this bunny. I am down to one, because my husband left it on top of the car when he left the daycare - never to be seen again.

But wait ... there's more!

*I found ours today on the side of the road by the daycare, but it was extremely dirty and had been run over. But over all, in usable shape, now that it has been washed. He is missing an eye and the head now rattles :( .

I saw one similar to it on eBay this morning - item number 150191936872. It is pink and Carter's with music and flowers on the stomach, but the flowers are pink, not purple, and I don't think the ears are the same. If your child is like mine they know the difference, and I am not sure if it would work.

Thanks,
Michelle

And now we have a THIRD family looking FOUND for this same rabbit!

Did she find this bunny? I REALLY need one for my great niece, says Charlotte. This is the only toy my great niece will sleep with, and hers is FILTHY.

Would you believe a FOURTH child needs this toy?

I am also looking for this Carter's pink bunny rabbit with purple flowers on its body and purple ears and feet. My daughter needs her to sleep - it is her best friend - we named her Roxy. Roxy helps when she is sad or hurt and also is used in tea parties and as a doll in a baby stroller. I have tried so many different ways and times to get a new one for the past year, and have been unsuccessful. If anyone has a one and is willing to sell- we would love it and buy it in a heartbeat!

Thanks!
Venessa (NEW POST FOR VENESSA ON 041408-1)

And now a FIFTH!!!

I am looking for this exact bunny too! Please, PLEASE, if anyone has found another, please let me know; I will do anything to find another! This was my daughter's lovey (she's 19 months old) and though she has a replacement, she still looks and asks for her bunny.

Thank you and God bless!

I just want to applaud your efforts to help parents find toys of their past and toys for their children. It is that search that has let me to your site.

With that being said, I am searching for a blue & white stuffed dog that was sold at Target stores in 2006, but has since been discontinued.

I had found two (closed) auctions on eBay, but neither stated who made the dog...and of course, my son tore the tag off more than 8 months ago!

FOUND - RUBBER HEADED 80's Small Beanie Animals

Cat Jane has gone our of her way to read through a lot of requests and find quite a few toys for our searchers, plus adding information to several others, that will eventually help in finding those, too.

So I really did want to help her, when she asked for help identifying these small dolls.

As often happens, I found them today, as I was doing research to find someone else's toy! And here's a picture of the collection from Galoob Toys. They are called "SO SMALL BABIES"!

Hello, I really could use a hand on figuring out the name of some tiny bean bag bodied characters with rubber heads that I played with in the 80's. They were around 2 or 3 inches big.

There were bears, cats and babies that I can remember. By awesome luck I recently was able to grab a picture of a puppy one while searching for a fellow searcher's Kitty Surprise. It was included along as a misfit to the item. The puppy had no offered ID or tush tag available unfortunately.
Help me if you can!

Thanks!!

Cat Jane

The SELLER (Lisa) of this one on eBay contacted me to let me know she thought this might be the one Shannin was looking for. I thought so, too, so when I couldn't get a reply from Shannin, I bought it for her. I did manage to contact her today, and she is so excited, as it is the one she wanted!

I can't thank Lisa enough for helping Shannin find this precious childhood toy, but I can give you a link to her items on eBay. She deserves your business, if she has something you would like to buy!

I am looking for a stuffed musical giraffe that was made by Carter's or Eden. It was brown and yellow, and when you wound it up the neck on the giraffe slowly rotated around. I had this animal 36 years ago and have since lost him. I am desperate to find another one. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. This was one of my most loved animals while I was growing up.

Thank you so much. Shannin

Searching - Sugar Loaf WOLFIE Big Blue Eyed Brown Puppy Dog

My son, who was 2 in November, lost his most treasured friend. My husband won a dark brown dog/wolf with blue eyes back in Jan 2006 (we believe) & it since has been our son's favorite. He calls him Wolfie. He looks like a dog & wolf. He's really adorable. We have searched & searched for another one like him. We even put 2 lost ads in the papers in hopes someone found him.

We lost him not long ago, and my son has not stopped looking for him. He has been having a hard time falling asleep at night without his doggie. We have a lot of other stuffed animals, and it just doesn't do it for him.

Thanks
