I've had a small handful of these mysterious "Zipper Pull" plush since I was very young. After I got into Pokemon collecting in 2011 I came across some more from the same series and couldn't help myself. They're just so cute I decided I wanted to make a collection just for them. I'm still trying to learn about them, though.
They seem to be made by a company called Accessory Project, but in my searches for information I found someone else with an Accessory Project Togepi who has a painted face that also looks very different from my Togepi's embroidered face. All of my original zipper pull plush have embroidered faces, so it confuses me. They're also often listed on eBay as being from Avon. Maybe my Togepi is an oddball that isn't actually from Accessory Project, but I don't know because the tush tags on all my childhood plushes are long gone. Or maybe it got remade for some reason? Or it's from another region (Europe?). If you have any information then please do contact me! I really don't know much about this line at the moment.
