ピカピカほほ台湾のライチュウのぬいぐるみ
Happiest "Glowing Cheeks" Taiwan Raichu Plush

​

Taiwan
1999-2000ish

This Raichu plush from Taiwan was so filthy, he was being given away as a freebie if you bought something else. Of course I adopted this beautiful big boy with his light-up red cheeks and flawless happy face! And of course I cleaned him right up too, since when you have a unique and amazing new Raichu plush you've never seen before, he deserves to be treated as a king. His paw had glue residue, probably from a "Press Here" sticker, if the others in this series are anything to go by.

He is part of a series of Light-Up Cheek plushies, which also featured Pikachu in a few sizes and fabrics. Probably being part of this series is why his cheeks are red and not yellow.
