    Interesting I will have to keep my eye out for these, usually I pass on most gaming swag. What is BD&A, and what makes them collectible? 

    They’re a company that used to make plushes, figures and other accessories for Nintendo properties in the 90’s. I believe they still continue to make 3rd party controllers now but I could be wrong. These were very popular during the n64 era, being sold in places like target, Best Buy & Circuit City. There wasn’t a lot of merchandise back then like there is now. Some plushes for this series are very hard to come by and were released in limited quantities. For example Princess Peach could only be ordered through Nintendo Power & the black and white yoshi’s were mail in pre-order bonuses for Yoshi’s story.

    Are these slightly smaller ones the “promo” variants from your post? They’re slightly bigger than the keychains but also slightly smaller than the standard plush.

    Yes so those smaller yoshi’s are from a Nintendo power catalog 4-pack offer. Like Princess Peach, that’s the only way they were sold. They’re actually the same size as the white & black yoshi’s too.

    Nice collection!  36" versions of Mario (winged hat version) and Donkey Kong were also available - only through the Nintendo Power Supplies catalog.  I remember ordering Mario way back when and he was super expensive ($100 if I remember correctly).

    Thank you! Yes those are awesome but I had to stop at the 12” plushes because I’m like there’s no way I’d have room for the bigger plushes as awesome as they are

    Is it though?  I've been staring at this for a bit now and unless I'm just missing it, where is crotchety old Cranky Kong with his long white beard, vest, and cane?  I know he's one of the most obscure ones though, kind of surprised when I found the thing locally years ago for damn near free. 😛  I keep him on the shelf with the old games from his era.

    Just pulled him to check the tag to be sure.  Rear of the tag says Bensussen Deutsch @ Assoc,. Inc.  Rest is just address, patent, materials the usual.  Reverse of it says ToySite we know how to play (www.toy-site.com)

    Technically I guess you could say those plushes are bd&a since toy-site was part of BD&A but I just like to separate them between Toy-Site & BD&A lines. I do have those Donkey Kong plushes too! Definitely my favorite of the Toy-site plushes

  5. Ah shoot 😕 I was crossing my fingers it was you that got it when I saw it in the sold listings, I’ll keep you posted if I find anything!

     

    I went a little overboard and almost got every variant of the normal sized plushes now 😅
     

    I’m just looking for a specific Luigi variant with the outlined eyes & no mouth, a smaller promo Banjo Kazooie if they exist I couldn’t find any images of it & I think there’s just one or two more Diddy’s I’ve missed, I have three different ones & the plush go-kart. I’m not wasting my time trying to find the promo cardboard plane as much as I’d like it because it’s going to be impossible to find lol Then I’ll be all set.

    Any others besides the black & white yoshi’s you’re still looking for?

  6. Part Two of my recent purchases:

    1. Some Toybiz Mario Kart 64 figures, missing Wario but got his kart
    2. 5/6 In-box Toysite Donkey Kong figures, just missing the deluxe set of Donkey Kong & Kiddy Kong
    3. Toysite LoZ Ocarina of Time Figures, I don’t currently have them out so I’m posting the sellers pictures10D0E4CB-8450-455D-B597-599688866555.jpeg.6a460f516f00e0c9369f077403997780.jpeg316B2FA4-1C1B-4FD8-ACDB-8FA9C5E3337E.jpeg.6818a0cc051663a639163f611702f254.jpeg1DFFF0C2-FF80-4E3A-927C-F9A22996DCCC.jpeg.d7793666137653048e7d7a968e6b189b.jpeg

  8. Thanks! Yeah it’s good to be done, if there was one more thing I could collect it’s the Nintendo Power Smaller Sized Yoshi 4-Pack, they’re the same size as the black & white yoshi’s so that’d be cool to have been since I already have those colors I’m fine missing out on that. 

    I’m good on the Wario but I appreciate you letting me know! I got really lucky because my last pick-up was the complete set of 8 First Print plushes. They needed a little TLC but I got them looking like new.

    Yeah the Yoshi’s are definitely some of my favorites, I still can’t believe I have them. Hopefully some more pop up so you can add them to your collection as well because you sound pretty close to finishing too!
