You might not know this, but I too had an affinity for plush dolls. I have this Lucario plush doll I got from PokemonCenter.com (yes, I was alive back then lol). I've had him for going on five years. Sharpied-up and ran through the dryer, he still sits perched on my CD tower, watching everything. He was the most important plush I've ever owned, along with the Vulpix plush (Lucario's 'eternally faithful wife') that my sister had since I was in first grade. And my 7" Meowth plush, which we guess is even older than both Lucario and Vulpix, because I got it from a teenager who would've had to been older than even you. (I think she was one who fell out of the Pokémon "fad").
