Stuffed/plush MINIs?
I'm searching for a birthday gift for a little girl who spied a plush MINI at our dealer. Does anyone know of the existence of such things? There was a thread and link from years ago, but the link is dead. However, this makes me think they might be out there to be had...

I do see a UK source on Ebay, but there is only a blue one. Wondering if there's a full line anywhere.

MINI often keeps their collectibles limited to a certain color or two. I don't know if there are or aren't other colors out there, but I would put my money on just blue if I had to bet.

They do exist. My granddaughter gave me a RED one for Christmas.
Perhaps you could ping some of the MINI dealers for availability?

I'll drop my MA an email asking. Figured I'd tap my local knowledge base first.
Theirs is a red one.

She was given a loan by the other parent I would guess.

My dealer didn't as of a month ago. Have been searching elsewhere since. Will reinvestigate.

You *should* be able to find one if you call around to dealers. I think mine came from Classic, IIRC. They only came in red and blue, and I believe they made a yellow one in a backpack style too.

That's a blue one. I'm looking for a red one, specifically, but hopefully someone who sees this wants a blue.

Maybe they have red but didn't list it? There's a contact email on the ebay page, in case you want to give them a shout...
