Catching the "Fancy" of Life-Size Plush Dolls

As I had discussed nearly a year ago, Pokémon plush dolls come in all kinds of sizes, and one of them is the life size. Many Pokémon are undoubtedly suited to having plush dolls of this size, certainly as long as they're not already gargantuan to start off with. Besides being suitable, there's a certain captivating quality that plush dolls of this size have, and that becomes the branching point of this discussion from the earlier one: catching the "fancy" possessed by dolls of this size, along with a few illustrative examples of that "fancy".

Most recently, there had been hubbub and furor over the latest entry to this line of plush doll size, being the Gardevoir life size plush doll. Many fans are aware of the implications that are brought about by this particular Pokémon having a life size plush doll (for which nothing more will be said here), and this definitely means that those who conceived this plush doll and those who covet such a plush doll have caught a certain "fancy". When the Lucario life size plush doll entered the scene, some might have had the same reactions, even if it might have been less marked than for Gardevoir. Whatever "fancy" might be had, some are certainly preferential for these humanoid species in plush doll - even in life size.

Then, there are the more common entries like those for the species of Porygon, Psyduck, and Pikachu. Admittedly, though, the first of these species is somewhat tending into the uncommon given its history in Pokémon matters, but a life size plush exists for it and could be sat (and/or "ridden") on... just like it was meant to be. The other two are familiar yellow pals for those who are familiar (even, not so familiar) with Pokémon, and by the reactions and reviews to these, they're treated truly as "pals" more than anything else. In this way, the "fancy" of these Pokémon are "caught" and "served".

"Extraordinary" seems to be the word that can describe the scale of these life size plush dolls as well as the reactions of the people to them, Pokémon fans and non-fans alike. Something would captivate some people for the conception of these plush dolls and then other people to obtain them, and that's definitely the "fancy" that concerns these plush dolls. That too is "extraordinary" regardless, as is the general scales and sizes of Pokémon species.
