Nostalgia factor for 90s/2000s kids; discontinued tuxedo outfit design; high-demand mascot collectible; excellent color preservation.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This matches the official prize-counter plush specifications of the late 90s. Look for the 'ShowBiz Pizza Time' or 'CEC Entertainment' copyright on the tush tag.
Flaws to Note
No visible flaws in photo; check for missing tush tags or minor dust/storage odors. Ensure the hat is firmly attached as they often come loose.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for collectors), Mercari (good for quick plush sales), or mascot-specific Facebook groups.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Vintage', 'Retro', 'Tuxedo', and 'Avenger Era'. Take photos against a clean white background. Mention if it comes from a smoke-free home as odors heavily impact plush value.
