The story behind this little guy is that a few friends and I went to a Toys-R-Us over 5 years ago, which was about to close down because of the bankruptcy. I found him on a fairly empty shelf staring me down with this amazing face, and knew immediately I wanted to bring them back home! Now I see Litten alongside their many other plushie pals every day, I'm glad I found them.
Good plush! I completely missed the Litten hype as a lot of the Litten fans were bullying Popplio on Twitter. Though I came around, I became an Incineroar main when I got Smash Ultimate. Want to pick up some Litten/evo line merch myself.
I grabbed a Scorbunny plush for a similar reason to you actually - the store he was at was closing not permanently but for renovations, and something possessed me to buy it. Need to get him out of the packaging so he can sit with my Victini.
Suppose I must've missed the bullying, but yeah I love the little guy! Incineroar is also a cool design, and certainly packs a punch (I guess grab lol) in ultimate. Hopefully you find some merch that catches your eye soon!
Also that is pretty neat you found a friend in a similar circumstance, it kinda feels like rescuing them in a way. Release them from their baggy jail!
