The Wacky World of Weird Promotional Plushes - Bonzi Buddy, DeviantArt, & More!

From Bonzi Buddy to Bubsy, let's look at some of the weirdest promotional plushes you can find!
I've always looked at plushes and toys in general as a form of art, however it is true that many of them are made purely for marketing purposes. Many companies released plush toys to advertise their brands and franchises, no matter how iconic they are. In this video, I'll be going over some of the wackiest and craziest brand promotions I can find, or at least ones that I find interesting. We're covering plushes like Bonzi Buddy, DeviantArt's Fella, Tony's Pizza and even Bubsy, along with many more you may find interesting. While these are purely marketing material most of the time, many have fascinating stories, and that's what I'm covering today.

If you've ever wanted a PatMac video where I talk about the history of plushes of characters like Bonzi Buddy, Bubsy and more, you've come to the right place. Believe it or not, this was originally intended to not go up on April Fools. I was originally going to release it yesterday, but I realized since the subject matter is so strange compared to my previous videos, it worked perfectly. In that case, HAPPY APRIL FOOLS! But don't be fooled, this video is no joke. This will likely end up being one of the strangest videos I ever make, so I hope you all enjoy it! This was really fun to research and create, and it was a blast collecting what I needed for this video. Yes, I do actually own the Bonzi Buddy plush. Thank you all for watching, and be sure to subscribe, share this video, or even simply comment if you want to see more videos like this one! Thanks!

Probably the rarest promo plush I have is the Green Cybunny Neopets one. The older one was officially released, but this newer one was limited to a 1000 release contest. I’ve had her for years and love her, but it’s very clear she was on the lower end of the Cybunny plush scale (and yes, I collected them all as a kid). Notably, her ruff markings were painted on, compared to other Cybunnies that had different plush colors on them. As such, the twelve-year-old “Millie” (as I call her) has almost no sign of the pink spots that used to be around her neck, and her tag has since fallen off, but she is otherwise in excellent condition. I suspect very few of the sweepstakes Green Cybunnies still have their spots.

Nya, The world of rare and promotional plush is quite a journey, a continuous discovery of things that you would never imagine existed. I still remember my perplexity when I accidentally found a plush of Geoffrey the giraffe, the Toys"R"us mascot. (in his 80s design) A toy store mascot plush? Inception! Needless to say, to this day it still occupies a preferential place in my house. My mother was working in a dairy company, with a very close relationship with the marketing department and once she brought home two Millaquito and Millaquita plushies, the Millac milk mascots. If I hadn't seen them with my eyes I would have had a hard time believing they were real. I once heard about the supposed existence of a plush of the clown Nikki, the mascot of the Nikki toy store, and another one of Moncho, the mascot of Monchitos, a puffed rice snack, but at the moment they are just legends. Who knows?

This happened with the gold star shiny Entei, Suicune, and Raikou pokemon cards that are supposed to be 1 in every 72 extremely expensive booster packs, a while ago some dutch dude on ebay got a binder of 5000 of them somehow and pokemon card investors called them illegal and inauthentic when tons of them have been graded by PSA with no problem. I think it's far more likely they got printed for some tournament that got cancelled than the conspiracy theory they're spouting when they were only worth like $10 when they came out in 2005. They're still worth like hundreds of dollars now so it didn't really drive the value down. Rich people never want anybody to be able to enjoy anything without having to pay a fortune so they throw tantrums over something as simple as an extra copy of an extremely limited pokemon card granted to the person who designed it.

I had a target "hobbes!" I gave him to my now 3 y.o son a little while ago b.c. he loved him so much. Never knew about the lawsuit though. Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

I Didn't know Fella had a Plush of him. That's Awesome to Finally Learn after Meeting him for so Long. ^^

It's interesting to hear about people's experiences with DeviantArt from the 2000s. I didn't know about the website before 2016.

I remember an odd flash game where you could stuff it with taco bell product until it exploded.

This video has made me so nostalgic for a teddy bear with sewn on borg parts, from some sort of Star Trek: The Next Generation something or other. My parents are part of a big Star Trek fan club so I couldn't tell you if it was fan made or official, but I suddenly need to go search through our garage and call various extended Star Trek family members to see if they have it because I remember holding it and I miss it !!

[@idkwhothisis-uv8tq]

I actually have quite a few Bullseye plushies, they were given out to employees if they did well. (I think, they were never sold directly tho, and Mom gave them to me at random) there were many different ones like Bullseye as Captain America, a baseball player, and an eagle. When my mom worked at Target and I went inside the staff only area there was a HUDGE plush at least twice my size. I was only about 5 or 6 at the time. Every cosplay plush had the dog in a sitting pose with his tongue out and mouth open without teeth. The second to last one I got was just a regular bullseye standing on all fours, the last one I got was the same but bigger.

[@metaluzaki1534]

Holy moly! My brother and I had that Alfac plush. It made sounds too, but only his catch phrase. Thanks for reminding me of this little guy!

[@chiroCHR]

I can't wait for inevitable comments that says "Why do you have fond memories on DA, that website has bad art", lol.

I loved Tony’s pizza when I was a kid. My school cafeteria would serve mini Tony’s pizzas on Fridays. Was so good! I remember seeing advertisements of the first plush and so badly wanted it.

God, I love it so much how you used the early 2000s KZbin songs in your transitions. So much nostalgia makes me want to cry. I miss those days so much.

That Bonzi voice reminds me of Sonic's voice from those old Sonic sprite shows

Ah yes, the classic Speakonia Sonic sprite videos.

i really like promotional plushes!!! my grandpa is a retired gastroenterologist and always brought home weird plush for me, for example i still have a plush of an anatomically correct stomach sitting around somewhere, i also have an aflac plush and a mucinex plush for some reason lol, promotional plushes always remind me of being a kid, because i always saw them everywhere in the early 2000s

[@aaronrtitman]

i know this is an old video at this point, but my mom actually own(ed) that aflac plush (seen at 1:00) you showed! someone else (earlier than me by a couple years, of course) mentioned it, but it did do the iconic "aflac, aflac, AFLAAAAAC" yell when you squeezed it! i think there were, from the looks of it, two different waves/designs of the plush too, with one having a lighter blue bandana and a longer neck, and another having a shorter neck and rounder body and a dark blue bandana, which is the one that we owned! its always kinda crazy coming back to rewatch this video and seeing one of those things that my family actually had!

[@luckymiku6456]

These are my favourite types of April fools videos. Not using the holiday to trick and disappoint their viewers but as a excuse to talk about something wacky that under any circumstance would be totally out of place on their channel. Thank you for doing such a cool thing with April Fools PatMac. Mad respect over here.
