#30 Need Help Identifying This Plushie, This Is The Only Pic I Have Of It Unfortunately
SuperBun78: Friend of mine has a friend with this as their profile pic and was wondering what it was. The friend proceeded to be super cryptic about what it was saying "you should know what it is". They don't and asked me for some help in identifying it, I've had no luck so I'm coming to y'all for help as well in this search. We believe it is a plushie of some kind and the second image shows what we think the full image might be.
Just got a confirmation that this is in fact the plushie! Thank you so much! Amazing job!
