Bestever - Tumblr Posts
not really sure how to start this post but basically, i think i've discovered that i might have a rare plush? ever since i was born i've had this green floppy legs lion plush, and every time i go to search him up online to see what type of plush he is, i can find little to nothing about him except for a couple of old images. here's a picture of the one i have for reference:
and here are some images taken from other websites and listings:
(images from this site, this listing and this listing respectively)
what is known about him is that he was made by the plush brand Bestever in conjunction with John Doze Studios, he's a part of the Liontoons line and that he was in production since at least 2001. other than that though, little information exists on this guy. the only colours i've seen him be produced in are green and orange, and it's unknown what other colours he exists in. there's a couple of websites that show a few of Bestever's plushies, one of which including a high quality image of their logo:
quite a few people do own him and i'm sure plenty of Liontoons plushies do still exist, but it's just the information about him that is very scarce and it'd be awesome if we knew more about him.
there's another vey similar line of plush toys called 'Orangutoons', which are these furry cartoony orangutans that come in many colours. there's a lot more images that show these plushies, including the fact that they were produced in orange, green, blue, purple, mint, red and white, lavender, pink and rainbow. a few special seasonal ones exist as well.
i do find it interesting how we have wayyy more images of this silly guy than we do the Liontoons plushies. i'm hoping more information is found about them soon!! i'd personally like to see an image of a blue Liontoons plush one day :D
UPDATE: A PURPLE LIONTOONS HAS BEEN SPOTTED!!!
(from this listing) (archive)
so they do exist in more colours! this is an amazing find and i'm so happy to know there are more variants out there! i unfortunately won't be able to get this one as the seller doesn't ship to where i live, but just finding this and knowing it exists is awesome to me!! yippee!!!

photos of some of my old childhood plushies with a cute filter applied :)
2006 Shining Stars Unicorn plush - had ever since the same year it was made
Unidentified Calico Cat plush (possibly a Loblaws or Douglas plush) - had a similar one since at least 2006 or 2007 which disappeared, replaced with a gift from a friend in 2013. the original plush was likely an Aurora plush.
2001 Bestever Liontoons Plush - had since the day i was born
2002 Bedtime Care Bears plush - had since 2005 (it even came with a VHS tape included!)
