Congrats on the mini Bulba! All the plush look great! :) Vintage plush or other types with the glued on fabric are always a little spooky to clean. Looks like the fabric glue worked well though; and now they'll stay nice and secure. I've had to glue a UFO a little--older/cheaper material is so prone to falling off or doing that weird thing where it splits apart/peels ;;
Yeah, the most nervous I've been was cleaning/depiling a Butterfree Pokedoll. This felt way less intense since I knew it was only felt and could easily be glued back on. It really does tend to do some weird stuff. there are patches on these guys that they used for the masterball markings that are this really weird cheap paper-like material. Not really made with the intention to last I suppose. But that's never stopped a determined collector, right?
Congrats on your Bulbasaur get! :D She looks wonderful with your Bulbasaur family! I love how the "Write a Report!" Bulbasaur plush is a shining light in the photo too teehee! And you did an amazing job at cleaning and restoring all of the reversible plush!

Aw, thanks! Yeah, the Write a Report Bulba looks almost ghostly next to all the others! But it's so dang cute!
