My Lion King Forum

Hey, everyone:

I have the huge Simba by Douglas Cuddle Toys made for a Nestle promotional raffle. He's about 5 feet long. While I love him, he just sits in a closet at my parents' house. My daughter is really not into it. Is there any interest in this?

Tracy.

If we could possibly see pictures of this first of all, it is all good and well to say you have it but, proof doesn't hurt

Sure.

he's gorgeous. do you have an idea of how much you're looking to get for him?

I do love those ones but if I'm gonna get a giant plush I was thinking about the other one

I was thinking around 1,500 but I am open to offers!

If you're a collector, I can see what other TLK stuff I have left here.

That is a huge asking price and honestly I do not think anyone on here will take it. I have looked around the internet and plushes this size go for standard between 50- 60, a limited time thing... 150? 200 at a push I would say

actually the price is roughly correct for that plush. I've seen it on ebay for over 1500 AUD.

I will take him for $50

I think you're right I won't get that in here. I think the crowd is too young here and does not know what this is. (I don't mean that as an insult; I am in my late 30s and collected all the stuff from 1994 and sold them. I know what is rare, and what is not).

Send me a link where this sells for $50, because that would be surprising. These were a promotional item from 1994 and were never sold. I have a feeling you guys think this is the Disney Store or Mattel ones.

You guys are thinking of the wrong plush. This is the 1994 5 1/2 foot Nestle Douglas Cuddle Toy that was only available as a prize. There are only a very few in existence. Please check Ebay; these do not sell for $50. They sell for $500 to $1,500, depending on the condition. They have never sold on Ebay for less than a few hundred, when they pop up--which is not so common.

I certainly have sold my other large plushes you are thinking of made by the Disney Store and Mattel, etc.--which sold for $50 to $100, yes.

Here is a current listing and some other people talking about them (not me, by the way):

I also have one of the cubs that girl has in the picture in the last link.

So, no way does he go for less than $500. However, I do have other stuff I want to get rid of, like decorative plates. I could post pics. I will take almost any offer on those because they are just sitting in my parents' shed. I can see what else I have. I will certainly take $50 for all the plates. etc.

Let me know if anyone is interested in what else I find. I know I have the plates in there, might be some figures (all from 1994).
