I just found a second type of plush Dunk toy, and Wow.
This cuddly Dunk from “Soft time TOY Collectors" is not only much larger than the one I knew about, the Paleozoic Pals toy, but has surprising detail. The armor shield is cut and sewn so the edges come free of the body to hint at how the real animal is articulated. There are textured pectoral and pelvic fins and even an anal fin. The designer used the lower-lobe interpretation of the tail, stringing two fins along its underside and one on top. The colors are beautiful, maybe even realistic. The interior of the mouth goes back a couple of inches.
Although
the fins have that odd, scalloped look you see on the Schleich vinyl model, the
fish overall looks as realistic as a couple of the cheaper vinyls I have. I
found this one on eBay: I don’t see them for sale anywhere else. I really love
this Dunk Your kids will, too.
