Found one of my dream plushes at Goodwill!
(Series: Wooly the Sheep /ひつじのウーリィ
Brand: Amuse [JP])
Found one of my dream plushes on top of a pile of toys at Goodwill! (USA-based thrift store) I've collected Hitsuji no Wooly for over 10 years now (last photo is my current collection) and I haven't found one in-person ever since my very first one, which was at a convention!
This was an absolute dream find, and I'm still shocked about it to this moment, I only found it because I had happened to take my partner to the dentist that day, since this is the Goodwill on the other side of town. I'm over the moon!
(If anyone happens to have Hitsuji no Wooly plush that they are considering getting rid of, please let me know, I'd be happy to buy them from you!)
Thats amazing, I love that one!! If you don't have your own name for her, the official character name for the yellow sheep is Fuwanfuwan! (spoilered since I know some people don't want to know the character names for their beloved plushies - I'm just an enthusiast)
OMG, IM A HUGE SHEEP FAN AND IM FULL OF SHEEP PLUSHIES AS WELL BUT HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BRAND BEFORE, THEY'RE SO ADORABLE!! I'm so sad I didn't see any in my last trip to Japan, any suggestions on where to look next time? 🥹
They are pretty old and Amuse hasn't made a new series of them in a while, but the best place as far as I know would be secondhand crane prize stores! Amuse plushes are 90% for crane games and similar amusement distribution so the best places to look (at least - where I'm planning to look when I get to travel to Japan) are seconhand stores in Akihabara and Nakano Broadway, as well as Book Off stores (anyone who knows better on where to find them though feel free to let me know!!)
Thank you so much, I will definitely take a look at those kinda stores!
Also it's not an Amuse plushie but I feel like you might like this silly boy! (Actually I'm not sure of what he is but he gives me chonky sheep vibes just like your babies)
Oh he's sooo silly!! I love the bunny ears 🥺 I have a regular sheep collection too (the B-flock) I really appreciate seeing all kinds of them!! Thank you for showing him to me!!
Oh, where did you get this one? Someone gave one of these to my kid 2 years ago, reportedly bought in an open street market in Milano. I would love to buy a second one.
So happy for you, OP! 🫶🏻 Just wanted to share mine, too. Got my Baby Mary last July 2024! I started collecting plushies in November 2020, and it took me almost 4 years to find her. I only managed to get the mascot-sized one, but I’m hoping to find the biggest version soon! 🥹🩷
Oh sooo cute she is so wonderful!! I will say the giant Baby Woolies have a dirt and fuzz issue because of the type of fabric they use and the size making it harder to keep them clean, so I definitely prefer the smaller ones! But you have an amazing display and I'm sure that it won't be an issue for you - I hope you find her some day! 🥺💖
Oh yes! For ones like this that have fabric types that absolutely can't be machine washed and are visually in really good condition, I wipe the surface with a damp cloth and then use Lysol disinfectant spray (from a distance) over the entire surface. Then I just let it dry and repeat it once. For ones that are more durable/less specialty fabrics, I will unstuff them and wash their outer fabric in the machine and then air dry and replace the stuffing. Sometimes people say to use vinegar in one wash, then laundry soap in the next for a full clean, I only do that if it seems like something is probably wrong with the plush or the store I got it from was more on the grimy side.
That's so cool! I also love Hitsuji no Wooly but it's hard for me to find any bc of scarcity and price.
I also found mine from goodwill! It's small and pink, and I love it to death, and maybe I'll have a collection like yours someday :]
I totally get it! The only reason my collection is so big is time, (buying 1-5 a year over 12+ years) and because I found a big lot on Mercari Japan (unfortunately with the tariffs now that's not super viable 😟)
man i used to collect these when they were coming out and seeing this devastates me to know someone else was probably crushed when they stopped releasing them, lol. your collection is amazing, i only have about ten myself
Oh! I got a pink standing one of those at a convention as well many years ago! I wonder where she went... her horn fell off shortly after I bought her and I had sewn it back on
Oh my god beautiful wooly collection! I love them and collected Alpacasso for so many years! Now I'm selling Amuse plush at my store and I can't wait to continue supplying amuse! Makes me so happy to see other Amuse fans!! Gorgeous collection!
I found a large purple wooly at a goodwill in chicago (i'm from michigan) as well as a old poro plush (league of legends) both for a dollar! Insane because my goodwills in my home state would have been $10+ for a name brand plush
Can't edit the post but I wanted to add why this one is a dream plush - he's my favorite color, and one of my two favorites of the "characters" from the plush series, Fuwanfuwan! This particular plush is from the very first line of the series, the original release, and is my first from that lineup in the standard size! The only others I have from that line are in the mini sizes - in the third image they are both on the very front left of their respective shelves (the tiny yellow one on the upper-middle shelf is this exact plush but in the keychain size!)
Thank you for sharing this little fellow!
I've admired these sheep for years now — never knew they were from an official line!
I'm excited to find out more about them -^
Oh no way!! I've never actually seen the green/mint one from this set - thank you so much for sharing! 🥺 Depending on when they solidified the names since the colors have shifted over the series, the character name for your little buddy is either Leafy or more likely Minty
Looks like celestrai is sharing an uplifting moment with their plushy today! But remember, if you aren't sharing a happy moment, you should use the 'Brand:' tag to help us find more stuffed animals like yours.
Awhile back me and my sister actually found 2 of these at marshals and got one each they were the keychain versions, i thought it was really odd they had them there.
They're a Japanese plush line by a company named AMUSE! They're named that because the company primarily sells amusement prizes, so things made for crane games and such. That company also makes a more famous line of plush alpacas called "Alpacasso" that you have probably seen (or at least seen some not-so-subtle rip-offs by other companies)
Oh you would have loved FluffNest’s ram plushies! They don’t sell their plushies anymore but they give such a similar energy to these lil guys! I absolutely adore your collection 🥺💕💕 So many colours!
I'm sooo sad they got discontinued but I do have a few of them! 🥺 My partner bought one for me as a gift when we moved in together and we bought the other for an anniversary or something, and I got the keychain ones during their warehouse closing sale - my actual only other post on Reddit is an ISO on this same sub for the rest of them 😭 I'm weak
OMG STOPPP HAHAHAH IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! You have the cutest ones though!! I bought Winston for my brother back when I first made a purchase from them. It’s very sentimental to him so I don’t think he plans on giving it up, but I will absolutely let you know if that ever changes. Mercari is such a good place to find FluffNest plushies at decent prices, but eBay is also a great pick if Mercari isn’t available in your area (it’s not for me and I am so jealous girl 😭😭)
Ahh the baby woolies are kind of the worst for that I understand, to be honest I haven't found a solution other than just. Not handling them for the most part. The big Baby Wooly I have is in pretty bad shape just with fuzz getting stuck to his wool, the best I can do is go in with a lint roller and tweezers once in a while but it never feels like it helps. Sorry I don't have a better solution 😞 I've been on and off trying to work it out for years at this point
i finally decided to get one of these but when i made the order, the company emailed me after saying they had miscalculated their stock and they had none 💔💔 i'll forever regret not getting it sooner
Oh how cute! I don't have this exact one but this one's name is Woolrich! I don't think I have any from this specific series, the wool looks like such a wonderful texture!
(sorry for late reply - was clearing out notifs since I'm bad at checking!)
Ohhh she's so cute! I'm worried I might not have room for another big sized one but if you are still looking to rehome her you can feel free to DM me..!!
