Disney & Sega Flavor of the Month plushies?

[MademoiselleBelle]

I have a bad habit of looking at Disney eBay listings (though I am proud but also disappointed to say I've never given into buying anything I see there). I just came across a chocolate Mickey "Flavor of the Month" stuffed animal, and searched to find even more flavors, and more characters. I think I would like to slowly start collecting these eventually. I already have a small collection of Disney stuffed animals that I love.

Anyway, I have Googled these and haven't really found anything "official" on them -- just ebay listings, mostly. It appears that they aren't/were never available in stores, according to what I've read in some of the listings (?). Not sure if that's true. Is there anywhere but eBay that you could ever, or even more importantly, can now, purchase them? Thanks for any info!


Regards,

Edit: Never mind, I found some information that I missed on a website that wouldn't originally load for me. Thanks anyway, sorry!

So what info did you find???

Sega Amusements has an official website. Apparently, these plushies were only attainable by winning them in what is called the Sega UFO Catcher -- aka claw machines. They were never available in any retail stores. They are all retired now, so you can't even win them from those anymore. So I guess eBay, or people willing to sell/trade them, are truly the only ways to get them.
