I actually have one of the Crash Bandicoot plushies! I can't remember the exact year (I think possibly 2003) but it was available as part of a show bag for the Melbourne Show. I remember it was end of day, and it was the only show bag I wanted specifically for Crash Bandicoot, but it was like at the other end of the show, so I ran over and eventually got one.

I was thinking about NECA Coco and Cortex lately. I was pretty disappointed that they weren't released in the end, they looked great. I especially liked that little detail with Coco's flower, the color looked closer to the original design somehow

Thank you so much for the shout out, I’m so happy I was able to help you with this video. Additionally, I wish these were released as there was some great potential with this line - such as going from game 1 to 3 in terms of the different Crash’s they could have released to the villains. Had these been released, this could have been the greatest Crash line in the franchise’s history

Hello! Thank you very much, again! 🙏 I'd say ReSaurus has already cemented itself as the best Crash has ever had, but you're right - if these large plush toys were released they would have honestly been the greatest line for any video game character!

@@bandicootcollector you’re very welcome!! Yes, it would have put the Mario plush line - for example - as a huge massive collecting competitor! Hopefully Play by Play can keep giving us more fan favs and even niche characters.

Well that solves that mystery I always wanted that big Coco Plush to add alongside my 2000s Crash Play by play plush I never knew she wasn't released or that Resaurus made her untill now like all nice things she will be impossible to find and too expensive to get a hold of no doubt I wonder if Play by Play or kellytoy in the 2000s made a Coco Plush? I already know Cortex exists alongside Crash and his many variants these old plushies look a lot better than what we have now I think better quality and design.

I'm actually really bummed that I've missed out on getting crash Bandicoot toys. I dont know why I always miss out on these in my almost 30 years. Crash, Donkey Kong, TMNT those were my big three franchises and still I neve get stuff. Due to my location in Alaska it makes it almost impossible

@@bandicootcollector no its jsut like growing up. Their is no stores that hold that stuff. Walmart barely gets it here in Kenai. When I lived in Wasilla near Anchorage it was easier to get merch but the living fees were so much worse So I just like I snagged a single crash Bandicoot figure from neca. Back in 2019. But your video showed their was tons. And even tiny (my favorote) and I'm sure Brio and Papu (my second and third) have figures that I missed out on forever. And while it's just stuff. It's just plastic or metal. Its still cool. Like I value my skylanders more now then I did when I got them I was an idiot and after highshcool gave half of them away didnt even sell them I spent over 1000 dollars on skylander stuff but just gave 500 plus of it away. Why do we do thesethings? Anyways...almost 30 now and i just wish had maybe spent less money on crap I dont care about and more and say stuff like this. But that's life . Just hope I can get some someday. Or learn how to draw so I can draw my own fan art.

@@mudshrooze In regards to NECA, they only released 5 action figures. Standard Crash, Jet Board Crash, Scuba Crash, Jet pack Crash and the Deluxe figure with Aku Aku. As for Tiny, he's not a NECA figure. He's a figure from the main focus of this video, the ReSaurus company. Unfortunately they never made Brio or Papu Papu. However, if you go to Etsy you can get figures of them from VDVortex!
