Rare Rushtons!!

     I haven't posted these 2 Rushtons at all since getting them for many reasons. So I figured I would share them now, since I don't own them. LMAo!!

I actually won this adorable minty kitty by Rushton in a Lot of 6 plushies a few years ago. She was hiding amongst the larger plushies and my hope at the time was that no one noticed her!! Which worked and I won the lot! I decided not to share her mainly because of her being so rare and I've never seen her before. I wanted to see if she'd show up later, and one variation did.

Her body is very much like the sleepy kitty body type. This one came with a little bell attached to pink elastic and a white plastic ring. I believe she was meant to hang on a baby's crib. All of her bows are original and her Rushton tag is the 50s version that Mary used prior to the change later in blue and red. Her rubber face is just like that of the tiger and earlier faces with green instead of the white part of the eyes. If you look carefully, her fur is white on front and at the back side her fur is a very light gray.

I definitely loved her all these years and since I've decided to let go most of my Rushton collection. She was listed on the Bay just yesterday and she sold fast!! I could've asked for a lot, but I just wanted a bit more then what I paid for her and not trying to be greedy. I will miss her! The next Rushton below...

I adopted this cutie from another Rushton collector a few years back. This adorable side sleeping bear with pajama bag is just too cute. He has been restored and I found him a blue pajama bag that is also by Rushton. The bag has a toy rattle glued to it. I replaced the bear's collar and blue buttons. Sadly, he is missing some fur on the top of his head and one ear.

He has the cutest bottom and has a snap button to snap onto the pj bag to secure him. He is definitely one of my ISOs back then. Having him along with the gray kitty was a dream. But I believe as with any dream, times change and your idea of ISOs change as well. Partly, too much drama in that community and not wanting to be in it anymore is another reason. I release myself from toxicity. Never good for anyone's mental health. But there are a few Rushton I will keep that are not crazy rare and just the ones that I've originally wanted when I first started collecting them. I am now down to less then 9 Rushtons in my collection. Haha! To each his/her own!

It is nice to see Rushtons going down in price. So I hope more people are able to enjoy them!
