plushies

plushies are my fav kind of chuck e cheese merch ! i don't have any tho... all of the plushies here were made by dennis foland inc.

the first plushie with avenger chuck's design was released in 2000. it was a beanie plush, probably to follow the recent beanie babies craze. there was also a keychain that looked similar but didn't have the skateboard that the beanie plush had.

the second plushie with avenger chuck's design was released in early 2001. it was available in 9 inch, 16 inch, and 28 inch versions. it was replaced with a tie-dye version later in the year. there were also plushies of helen, jasper t jowls, and munch in this set; all were wearing tie dye except for munch, and were only available in 9 inches. there was also a plushie of pepperoni, who was apparently avenger chuck's dog, in two versions -- a green and yellow one, and a solid orange one.

chuck backpack plushies were also released in this year. one was in the avenger colors, and one was blue and green tie-dye.

4 limited edition chuck e plushies would be released in 2001, one for each quarter of the year: one of him in a purple outfit holding a birthday present for the 1st quarter, one of him in a black cap and gown while holding a diploma for the 2nd quarter, one of him in a pumpkin costume for the 3rd quarter, and one of him dressed as a reindeer for the 4th quarter. there's a prototype of the reindeer one which was sent to the corporate office for approval; only one is known to exist and it's apparently owned by a private collector.

2002 saw 3 more limited edition plushies: a firefighter chuck for the first quarter, a surfer chuck for the second quarter, and a construction worker for the 3rd and 4th quarter. apparently, the firefighter chuck was controversial bc ppl believed it was cashing in on 9/11.

in 2003, 5 limited edition chuck plushies were made: one of him in a green outfit holding a birthday cupcake (1st quarter), one of him in a coca cola themed outfit, one of him in an easter bunny outfit (2nd quarter), one of him in a wizard outfit (3rd quarter), and one of him dressed like a christmas elf (4th quarter).

in 2004, new plushies of chuck and helen were released. the chuck e plush has him in a red sports jersey, and the helen plush has her in a red shirt, with her hair being made of a yarn-like material. the former was made in 9 inch, 16 inch, and 28 inch sizes, while the latter was only made in the 9 inch size.

in terms of limited edition plushies, 4 were made for 2004: one of chuck in a red shirt with a "happy birthday" flag (1st quarter), one of him in an explorer outfit (2nd quarter; there were two variations, one had binoculars and the other had a net with a felt bug), one of him in a bee costume (3rd quarter), and one of him in a robe with a nightcap and slippers (4th quarter). there's also one of him holding a phone, in a yellow shirt that says "i appreciate you ! 2004." this was either a prototype or given to management within the company. like the reindeer prototype, it's apparently in a private collection.

2005 was another year that got 5 limited edition plushies. these were: one of chuck in a winter outfit for the 1st quarter, one of him in a blue shirt with a party blower for the 2nd quarter, a super chuck plush for the 3rd quarter (one version had a black mask and the other had a purple mask), and one of him dressed as a christmas tree for the 4th quarter. there was also a special plush of chuck in a shirt that says "i love las vegas." only 800 were made and they were only given out to managers who went to the 2005 convention, which was in las vegas. the tag reads "my manager went to the convention in las vegas and all i got was this lousy t shirt !"

also from 2005 was a "mushable" chuck plush. it was made to lie flat like a pillow, and was loosely stuffed with pellets or smth similar. it was made by jay at play; it's the only plush on this list that wasn't made by dennis foland.

in 2006, more chuck and helen plushies were released. the chuck plushie features him in a similar outfit to the 2004 one of him in a sports jersey, but with the avenger colors. the helen plush has her in a purple dress similar to the one on her animatronic. chuck came in 9 inch, 16 inch, and 28 inch sizes, while helen only came in the 9 inch size.

2006 got a lot of limited edition plushies - 6 of them ! an olympic snowboarder chuck and one of him in a purple "happy birthday" shirt for the 1st quarter, one of him in a sombrero and poncho for the 2nd quarter, one of him as a pirate and one of him as a racecar driver for the 3rd quarter, and one of him as a toy soldier for the 4th quarter (only 12,000 of these were made).

2007 saw much less limited edition plushies. there was a biker chuck plush for the 1st quarter limited to 18,000 pieces, and for the 2nd, there was a plush of him inside a cake. he comes with a hat that's sewn on, but u can take him out of the cake. there's also a scuba diver chuck plush from this year, but there's not much information on that one.

in the first quarter of 2008, chuck e cheese's offered a set of two plushies: prince chuck and princess helen. this set was unique in a few ways. it contained two plushies in a blister pack, and was sold for $19.99. the other plushies weren't offered in sets and had to be obtained one-by-one, and as far as i can tell, weren't in any sort of packaging and u got them by redeeming tickets instead of outright buying them. this was also the first limited edition plush of helen. two birthday chucks debuted in this year: one in a white shirt that says "birthday memories..." and one in a green shirt that says "birthday star." the former used an updated, cheaper design with a slightly smaller head and facial features, and came with a marker to draw on his shirt. the latter was included in the birthday party package, was filled with beans, and was much heavier than the other limited edition plushies. in the 3rd quarter, a plushie depicting chuck as a baseball player was released. like the biker chuck, it was limited to 18,000 pieces.

more plushies from 2008 are: one with chuck in a blue outfit featuring art of his avenger design, him in a santa outfit, and him as a knight. i couldn't find much info on these tho. there's much less info on the rest of the plushies on this list, sry !

a lot of plushies came from 2009: chuck in a boxing outfit, him with a black shirt holding a tie-dye guitar (this one was called "rockstar chuck..." foreshadowing ?), him holding a star that says "birthday star" (looks like a photo frame ? was probably included with the birthday star package), and another one of him as a reindeer. there was also a plushie of helen as a fairy. two canceled plushies came from this year: one of chuck e in a pizza costume (which had red and blue variants), and one that's just avenger chuck but with a dollar sign on his shirt instead of a c.

even more plushies were released in 2010: 7 chuck plushies and 2 helen plushies. the chuck plushies featured him in an ice hockey outfit, him holding a music player in a peace sign shirt, him as a musician, him holding a happy birthday sign, and him as a snowman. the helen plushies were of her in a pink shirt holding a guitar, and of her dressed as a ballerina.

only two plushies were released in 2011: one of chuck dressed as a mad scientist, and one of him in a black shirt with a rainbow logo of his face on it.

only one plushie was released in 2012, that being an avenger chuck plush that looked similar to the 2001 one. this was the last avenger chuck plush ever made.

i don't have any chuck e cheese plushies, but i do plan to get some eventually. my favs are the 2001 avenger chuck, the las vegas convention one, the rockstar chuck from 2009, and the backpack. i think the 2001 avenger chuck looks the best out of all of them. the las vegas convention one is like a crossover with las vegas, which is another big interest of mine. i wish more of these were made; they could've been offered only at las vegas cec locations. i think the rockstar one looks rly cool, i like the contrast between his black outfit and the rainbow guitar. the backpack would be fun to have imo.

on an unrelated note, both my laptop's q and r keys are broken so i had to do a lot of copy-pasting for this page lol
