FW Pokemon Plush?

[redterror117]

This has been bugging me for awhile, but does anyone know anything about a company called 'FW'? I have a few plushes that have a tag from the company, and I want to know if its a legitimate company or (my guess) a knockoff/wholesale company. I only ask because my local anime store's plushes mostly come from this company.

Here's a couple of images of plushes they made that I currently own:

Hey, it was my understanding that those ARE legitimate plush, but they are either sold or are UFO catcher prizes in China/Malaysia. Just about every major countries have pokemon plush and i think those were made for the Asian (non-Japan) market.

I'll assume thats the same case as OneGo (another company that made a plush I have, a Piplup with a suction cup attached)? I'm only curious because unlike other companies such as Jakks Pacific and Takara Tomy, there's not a whole lot of information about these kinds of companies.

Yup, and as they are smaller markets and not a wide variety of pokemon plush are made by them, we don't hear much about them. The crazy thing is I am 89% certain (a chinese seller told me this) that ALL pokemon plush can be made in the same factory. For example, there is a factory (1 of many) in china that makes plush. Different companies may use the same factory to make plush. Therefore, 1 factory could be making pokemon plush for Jakks pacific, the pokemon center (aka nintendo world), banpresto, toy factory, tomy, etc. They may work on a series of plush for a month for jakks pacific, then switch to some plush for banpresto. This is how various reject plush may get into the hands of Chinese ebay sellers. Many rejects have flaws so insignificant, you can hardly tell they are they. hope that helps and just a neat tidbit there.
