Description This is the third in a series of plushies I like to call Frankenplushies. 

Frankenplushies are constructed by "upcycling" various thrift store plushies that are lovingly hand sewn together after being brutally dismembered. ^_~ 

This little one is made from a giraffe, a dragon, a bull dog, a pig, and a valentines bear.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this. My hubby has referred to me as that mean kid from the first Toy Story.  Lol

Well.... He had holes in his body, stains on his skin, and was only $1.00 at the good will... and when upcycling, it's hard to say no to good pieces for cheap. ^_^;; 

If he was rare, I guess that means all the others are a little bit rarer.
And if I do say so myself, this is even MORE rare, as it's one of a kind. ^_~ 

I'd feel bad, but he looked like he had a good, long, life before I found him, like he'd been loved for a long long time. And now I've made something new that can be loved again. ^_^

wellp~ In my experience online is the best place to get rare items, especially collectibles. I feel like the $24 this plush cost on that ebay link is probably around where he would have cost initially, too. Maybe a little more expensive. But seeing the fabric and armature inside him, he most likely would have been kinda spendy new. 

I was lucky that I found this one at Good Will, perhaps. 
But like I said, he really did come with holes and stains. Almost like a dog had bitten into him. >w< So his value was depleted as it was.  

I'm trying really hard to feel bad about repurposing him... but I just can't. ^_^;; I like the frankenplushies I've made with his various pieces too much~

yeah i do kind of know that online buying is one of the best ways to get the rare plushies but sometimes u can be lucky at goodwill and value village, cause right now i am upset at my cousin because she found two spyro plushies standing on four legs one big and one small one at value village and she won't give me one and those plushies are really rare now

I suppose I would have just turned to you and asked "Would you like to do the honors? You seem to have the appropriate tools." ^_~
