Lost & Found Merchandise - A Compilation of Modern Mysteries

[@andykishore]

It’s nice having a compilation of the physical lost media videos.

[@sonicfanboi9619]

Bro, I see you everywhere in the comments of Nickelodeon videos. I loved watching your videos as a kid

[@corvegasally]

Used to work in an arcade I can confirm that the plush we used for machines were from companies that bought and sold plush in bulk. They would come in these huge boxes barely held together with tape and were stuffed to bursting with the most random characters. My favorite I ever brought home was a cut the rope plush! :D

[@ultimatekratos44]

You are very pretty 🎉

*THEY FOUND A CHOWDER PLUSH* Flapjack being found made me so happy but now this? 2024 is some kind of year.

[@kalialexis3017]

Source? I’d love to see!

[@L0rdOfThePies]

Im glad someone validated me about the sonic figures. I had loads. They broke so often i held a contest to see which one would be the last to lose a piece 😂

[@brookearnold3609]

I love the histories of prototype toys! I went to a small toy convention earlier in the year, and came across a vendor selling Kenners Care Bear figures that have moveable limbs. I wanted Grams Bear (she had almost no merch outside her original plushie also by kenners) and the vendor sold it to me for $10. Upon closer look after leaving the con, I found that the grams figure had unpainted limbs (you could tell it wasnt just painted white) i think i got a prototype of her figure for a good price! (The same vendor sold me an 80's care bear cousins lots a heart elephant for $40 in perfect condition, ALSO by Kenners)

[@Blox248]

Recently prototypes of two unreleased and previously never before seen TAWOG plushes from 2014 appeared on eBay. A 19" Gumball Backpack plush and a Darwin Zipper Coin Purse. Images, links to the listings, and info on who now owns said plushes can be found on the Gumball wiki's Merchandise page. Pretty cool though to have yet another 2 lost prototype plushes that we otherwise wouldn't have known about be found, documented, and given a safe home where they'll be looked after!

[@luigiisgreen]

I saw flapjack in a claw machine around 2010 at walmart, aswell as the rest of the collection, if I had only knew how rare they were at the time lol

[@Flyn4thewin]

Holy crud the deteriorated Jeff puppet was a JUMPSCARE

[@Flyn4thewin]

And like... when I was a kid I claimed to have a crush on Jeff, so it terrorized a very deep part of me.

[@g00dy_2sh0es]

Agreed I had to look away 😭

[@lezloart4597]

I had a Mung plush as a kid, definitely found it at a goodwill in wv. My grandma went through and donated a ton of my plushies, so it probably ended up back in a goodwill.. long time ago now tho.. 😪

[@v3sterp0nk]

As someone who really loves puppets and animatronics, I do fully believe that unfortunately the Gorillaz puppets have probably deteriorated since rubber faced puppets (which they appear to be) have to be kept in cool low light areas so the rubber doesn't become brittle and basically disintegrate but they often aren't after their promotional use is over :(

[@m.nic.5080]

About the Gorillaz one, the figurine in the hewll photo is not the 2D puppet. It’s a separate and much smaller poseable doll and there are other pictures of it. The puppets apparently were almost human sized.

[@m.nic.5080]

Oh shid and you’re a FOB fan too? FOB and Gorillaz were my favorite bands for a long time. They both have so much lost media

[@joeysimm5777]

I've been looking for the chowder and flapjack plushies for a little bit and I'm happy that you made another collectibles video cuz I miss these videos that you make

[@SammEater]

Also, I think it's interesting that somewhere out there someone might have a piece of lost media and not even realize it's lost to everyone else, like a figure or a copy of a movie no one has (or a lost Doctor Who episode lol).

[@JaydenSmithsonian]

People gotta keep spreading the word

[@Juggerman]

That print of Captain Underpants looks too good quality for something self publish by a college student in 1989

[@gigigrace7351]

I’m watching this video on my lunch break at work, and they’re about to have no idea why I’m so excited about a Chowder plush in a claw machine

[@Black-Thorne]

Love your videos man, just started this one and can’t wait to watch!

[@AizakkuAnalysis]

How were Avatar Creations making such high quality Mario & Sonic toys? There's no way a full production of those figures would've looked that good.

[@HeitorMD]

yeah, mario looks just like the n64 renders

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

I must say, I always love listening to jaxcheese's music in the background of these videos. Their compositions are very evocative of the 16-bit era soundtracks of old in a way that is very nostalgic and pleasant to the ears. They help bring a lot of charm to this channel's lost media videos.

[@AKsLetsPlays]

I loved listening to the backgroundmusic. I was wondering who the artist is. Thanks! Yeah. It feels weirdly nostalgic and warming.

[@AKsLetsPlays]

Do you by any chance know the song that starts at 8:03?

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

@@AKsLetsPlays Nope lol sorry, I do not know the titles of any of jaxcheese's songs.

[@snailfail03]

wow... the avatar figures are incredible... the production photos are fantastic... i just love process photos like that...

[@idonthaveone60]

3:19 the fact the text says "no they aren't" right as he says it- 💀💀

[@EmoURYU]

I was so sad to see my fave Booberry not found but immediatly got happy with that update 🤩 i may not own him but him bein enjoyed makes me happy. Its so cute. Id put a hat on him too

[@mikewzowske]

bro when thoses wiggles puppets showed up on my laptop my heart jumped out of my chest ngl what were they thinking when making thoses puppets

[@SB_182]

sometimes plush samples and prototypes, or samples & protos of any kind, get sold in bulk as you said in the video for really cheap prices. the best bet for finding any lost plush samples would have to be claw machines, or arcade prizes.

[@Bass_Goat53]

I work in an arcade over the summer and this fact haunts me.

[@Milkshake-Bakes]

​@@Bass_Goat53 keep an eye out LOL

[@Bass_Goat53]

​@@Milkshake-Bakes well currently we only have the plushie equivalent of stock music so

[@JacksonBrewer-cu4ji]

I love chowder I glad u talk about Lost chowder Plushies and other stuff

[@josephmeluso2377]

Here's one for the books: LEGO Island was going to have a plush of the main character, Pepper Roni, but only one image of the plush ever made any rounds, and at that, not much other information - which company, which year, would there have been more? The only clue is that the design of the figure is based on the second game, which released in 2001. But the background has the original logo font from 1997.

[@L0rdOfThePies]

Ah lego island. There are a-lot of toys out there that are made pre release so not everything is on model, perhaps the assets for the second game weren’t done yet while it was being made? Fascinating nonetheless

[@YikesDepartment]

I obtained some ducktales 2017 prototype figures recently!! two unpainted, two early paint samples, and one unreleased. they’re so neat

[@Pcaara]

First, Thank you for the compilation! Definitely gonna put this on while I chill tonight. Second, seeing updates on the chowder plushes brings back such a strong nostalgia. My first fulltime job back in 2017 was at a place that created merch for vending machines and redemption (prize counters, fair prizes, claw machines, etc). Most of these items were from licensed properties, and I was a graphic/toy designer. Came across your vids while searching for something to listen to while at work, and as soon as I saw the flapjack vid I remember rushing to our Showroom and trying to act inconspicuous while scanning all our licensed plush to see if we had any. As it would turn out, though, Kellytoy was actually one of our competitors so we were never going to have their merch in our showroom lolll Hopefully something else of these gets found! If it helps at all, since some of these ended up in the wild then they were possibly not prototypes and were actually sold in bulk to these fairs/companies who needed merch for crane machines/etc. Because we sold our stuff in bulk and wanted to keep it as affordable as possible for vendors, we'd often have to find ways around things that would take more production time/resources. So stuff like specifying buttons/patterns/pockets or clothing details be printed rather than actual 3D items or embroidery. Even things like ears and such would be a flat tough piece of felt instead of a plush piece. I think it was something about us having to pay per stitch but I cant quite fully remember 🤔 That said, the stuff we would make with our budget would often look just barely finished enough to be a desirable purchase. But to anyone who has a discerning taste for licensed merchandise, it would give off a "nah that cant be the final product, thats gotta be a mockup right??" type of feeling. I cant remember if the flapjack plush were confirmed to be prototypes but if not, thats my reasoning for why they might've looked like some hahaa Anyway im literally 3 mins in the video lemme wrap this essay up so i can continue watching 😂

[@NicholastheDragon-sd6py]

This channel brings me immense bliss. 💙

[@finiroo]

Happy Friday! Awesome compilation - Physical lost media // merchandise quickly became my very favorite, this is a fun surprise while I’m cooking dinner :o)) Thank you

[@CranzitKCP]

can't wait to watch!

[@CranzitKCP]

oh my god I just realized it's a compilation.

[@toybonniesuniverse8292]

I saw the Kellytoy Mung plush and I IMMEDIATELY clicked on the video

[@eli-the-idiot]

staying in the hospital for a while and this is ive been binging these vids for a while now lol-

[@tessfabled4115]

4:35 the 'melting down' likely applies to the metal master molds or wax 'pilot skins', NOT the figures cast from them. You can't 'melt down' resin/plaster/etc, it's actually a hell of a lot more effort than it's worth to reuse stuff like this, especially if they're painted like these protos are. Most likely they were either discarded or remain with their designers or an internal archive of some kind.

[@rikkis4104]

My mother is a hoarder. As sad as it is, she coped with some of her issues when I was little by buying "me" toys. She would go after the popular stuff, collectables, plushies, stuff like McDonald's toys, or anything she thought was neat. Even though I mostly just had two bags of toys I mostly played with. Anyway, there are boxes upon boxes of these toys from the 90s in a semi trailer on her property. Unfortunately mice has gotten into some of them and when we went through a little bit a few years back whole totes of stuffed animals got trashed because of it. Still, I bet there is some neat or lost stuff in that trailer OR upstairs in her house, but it's such a mass amount I wouldn't even know what was worth something or rare if I had it in front of me.

[@PurpleLoverIgor]

I saw Gorillaz and clicked immediately.

[@juliancaraveo5700]

If you do another video on more lost and found merchandise. You should talk about the cancelled Gravity Falls plushies from 2018. Which were going to be released alongside a second wave of plush from The Loud House that same year. But for unknown reasons WickedCoolToys cancelled both.

[@Milkshake-Bakes]

DUDE WE LOST GRAVITY FALLS PLUSHIES?! CRYING RN 😭

[@juliancaraveo5700]

@@Milkshake-Bakes Yeah they were supposed to come out in 2018. These also would've given us a Dipper , Ford , Soos, Grunkle Stan, and Wendy as plush. There is a short by ThatGFFAN on one of my own playlists about Gravity Falls.

[@masamouselike]

We gonna draw so much art with this one boys

[@ryanpooley]

I collect powerpuff girl toys and the packaging on the Treasure Jewels Buttercup, Bedtime Bubbles, and Style Salon Blossom all show their distinctly different prototypes on the packaging! I wonder where those prototypes are all of the time!

Hey LSSQ what’s up it’s almost the end of August

[@nickmoney]

If the Cartoon Network or Adult Swim ones were up for sale in 2018 or after then KZbinrs and influencers would actually buy them.

@LSuperSonicQ, if you could read this comment, just to remind you, the Super Why pilot has finally been found.

[@Dolldizzy]

Could you cover the good girl bad girl plushies some day? There's like only one photo of them in a bunch of other merchandise

[@matthewisguy7336]

YOU TAKE THE MOON AND YOU TAKE THE MOON! 🌝

[@snailfail03]

also hey, having the pre production photos of some of these items, especially the plushies, someone who knows how to sew better than i do could probably make a few of these, to the best of their abilities... ofc they wouldn't be completely accurate to the vision but i think replicas of them would be quite cool to create as a craftsman myself.. EDIT: i wonder what materials could be used to make some of the other items, like the bendy ones... i guess clay wouldnt work but you probably would be able to make somewhat similar figurines that dont bend with it... i greatly enjoy toy making and dabble in doll making and other types of toys... so im just so invested in lost merchandising like this..

[@Milkshake-Bakes]

Im decent enough at sewing, and i've really considered recreating some lost plushies! Partly because i just think they're SO cool, and partly because i cant suppress the urge to make entirely fake "lost" plushies and do some trolling lol. But if i ever get into a position to be able to sell my work, i'd love to make some fans of the media all these lost plushies cam from happy🥺

[@Kakmanmartinez666]

I think it would be cool for them to relaunch the plushies now that the majority of the kids who grew on the shows are adults now. I see so many clothing and hobby shops/businesses advertised on Instagram that sell a lot of nostalgic cartoon merch and plushies. They've already gotten rid of Boomerang 😢 I'd love a little Flapjack one! I also remember seeing Gumball plush one of my siblings had gotten from an amusement park but I'm not sure what ended up happening to it as this was years ago.

[@HauntakuTV]

Hey, bro! Did y'all listen close to the "wait forever" lost media song yet? Those "car noises" are very interesting...

[@sakurakitsunestar]

Dude Jazzwares is far from unpopular now 😅 they're the ones making squishmallows.... Literally the most popular plushie line

[@bitescratchbeg]

babe, the GOAT WSuperSonicQ uploaded

another thing you could add to this list is a ton of unreleased prototype angry birds plushies were recently found, we had only super low quality photos of them for a decade but last year a youtuber managed to get his hand on ALL of them! i even own one now

In Finding Nemo, there’s a scene where the dentist is going to get Nemo in the bag to the little girl. There’s a song playing in the background that I think is lost media. I tried looking for it and I can’t find it. I believe it also gets played in the DVD play menu *AFTER* the commercials in the 2003 DVD….just putting it out there.

[@djnye215]

Also….i have a SpongeBob Easter cup that lit up from 2012 that I can’t find on the internet and either. Maybe it’s lost merchandise? Where can I send a photo???

[@celtyrysuje]

Of course some of these toys might have been a claw machine toys... Like there are now some cool Furby plushies on one site. They only sell it to other companies in bulk and now they are out of stock. So if they put them in claw machines and will not produce more, they will be lost too.
