1987 Avanti Lynx Kitten

Description

I'm done resisting... This posting of collectible plushies is gonna be a regular thing now. So often does it spur interesting conversation about the plushies that are out there, I must ditch the high-horse of using my gallery strictly for artwork. xD After all, several exquisite lifelike plushies I've collected over the years are valuable sources of inspiration for my own handmades. I'll try to mainly stick to those along with other beautiful/unique/rare examples to keep it interesting. And believe me, there are many. *u*

This beauty pie seriously has to be the finest lynx plushie I have ever set eyes on anywhere. *u* Not many decent quality lynx plushies out there, much less high quality. It looks like a Canadian if I had to guess based on the silvery coat and giant snowshoe paws. x3 According to the very informative tag it's an Avanti plush distributed by Applause, entitled "LYNX KITTEN" handcrafted in Italy 1987. The muzzle and ears look partially needle felted to my amateur eyes but it's some kind of wool. This is all I could find on the mom half of the set though he's already fairly large at 20": [link]

I snagged him on eBay for a pretty penny more than I normally would for any single plush. Still a phenomenal deal for his value and not at all regretted. Italian handmades are notoriously expensive, as they should be for their quality. xD

I will now return to doing stuff that matters. :iconlawooplz:
