Pokemon center 2001 tomy giant lugia plush - (USA Version)
ポケットモンスタービッグサイズぬいぐるみ ルギア
My ultimate Lugia holy grail and for good reason! When I was a child I only DREAMT about owning such a plush as they were all so very rare for me and expensive! I daily looked at images of Giant Lugia and only imagined what it'd be like to own one; now I am a very proud owner and have been since 2008! I've had him for such a long time I am exceptionally proud; he is a the start of my hidden gems.
I was very lucky and somehow bought this plush for $650 shipped from the US! He was going for a lot more usually back then but this little guy had no Pikachu attached and was a little loved; still I was happy to get him as I was not and am still not the richest person; I'm quite far from it!
There is an American and Japanese (1999) version, both with differences the one pictured here is the American version, Japan is a lot more sleek and less plushy! I admit...I kinda want the Japanese version too but I'll probably hold off on that and if I won big money or something would definitely consider pursing his other version! I am happy with this plush! One of the largest; if not the tallest of all Lugia plush and loved by many!

Mirage 1999-2001(?) Lugia Plush
Absolutely astonishing find and all thanks to a friend who gave me a heads up that a mirage Lugia was going to be on sale!
He is roughly 25cms from head to feet, the material is soft a little like veloba but I'm not 100% sure. He's definitely made in the older generation since the plastic eyes glued to the eye fins was a popular thing to do back then and an old suction cap showing age seals the deal. Really adorable for a mirage! He's...a very derpy plush. His wings are so small... NOT for people who like accuracy! I would guess this plush was made around 1999-2001 around the 2nd Pokemon movie between the Japanese and EU releases. I am very proud to own this little guy! I have not seen it in anyone else's Lugia collection so far so I'm very happy to be able to share this with everyone! |

Banpresto 2009 jumbo lottery ichiban kuji prize lugia plush - (Double Chance Campaign)
番くじガラポン ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド&パール~ジョウト地方編~ ダブルチャンスキャンペーン
Only 100 of these were made, they were made as lotto prizes in Japan so naturally they're exceptionally hard to find and very limited. Aprox 35cm. On top of the normal lottery, this was a double chance (basically a rarer lotto chance) that you could win alongside participating in the event. This event ended on the 25th December. If you were lucky to win you received BOTH Lugia and Ho-oh jumbo versions of the 2nd prize Lugia plush within this lottery. There were 100 pairs that people could win. His wings are very floppy due to the weight and there are other versions of this plush that are much cheaper and smaller, I do prefer this one more of course! |
banpresto 2009 ufo flying lugia plush - (small versions)
番くじポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド&パール~ジョウト地方編 2等 ぬいぐるみ
Released: December 2009 Height: 20cm aprox.
This Lugia was 2nd prize in the lottery campaign! He comes with a string so you can hang up to appear as if he is flying! |
Similar to the plush on the left this plush is a lot more sturdy and holds the wings into place. The string appears to be smaller than the blue tag version but that could differ from plush to plush. Was there two?

Banpresto 2010 Namco Lotto prize lugia plush [100 Only made]
ナムコ限定 「ホウオウ・ルギアのおっきなぬいぐるみ」
100 only ever made. Lottery prize only. This campaign ran between 19th December 2009 to 11th January 2010. If you were one of the lucky few to win you would get both a 60cm Lugia and Ho-oh plush! This is one of the few rarest Lugia plush to exist and I am so excited to own one! I adore floppy lugia plush so much so to get him is a dream come true! Huge, very huggable and just a little on the heavy side! He was released during the HG/SS era and also has another lottery plush above in the same era! Lugia...you love your limited lottery items don't you? |

Unofficial Plush (Customs, booties etc...)
Jumbo Shadow Lugia Pokedoll (Bootie?)Admittedly I have always been eyeing this up when I first saw him in a collection many many years ago, probably around early 2005-08 ish. I was lucky in a sense that many years later, I was able to buy him! I have no idea what he is. Likely a bootleg of course of the official Shadow Lugia plush but I absolutely love how jumbo he is! I don't even remember these guys being on eBay or anything unlike many other bootleg plush....not even in the younger days of 02-05 being online! Either way, very happy to have him, very squishy and looks amazing!! |
