Vintage Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pink Panther Plush Toy

This is a 7.5-inch tall plush toy representing the iconic 'Pink Panther' character, licensed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios. The figure is constructed from a soft, short-pile vibrant pink synthetic fabric with a contrasting light pink/lavender chest patch and muzzle. It features a distinctive character design with elongated limbs, a long tail, and oversized feet typical of the character's aesthetic. The head is detailed with a large pink velvet-textured nose, yellow plastic eyes with black pupils, black felt eyebrows, and long, thin black fiber whiskers. The facial expression is stitched with a black smile line. Condition-wise, the plush shows moderate play wear; the whiskers are somewhat splayed, and there is slight matting to the pile. A white fabric manufacturer's tag is present on the lower hip area, indicating its authenticity as a licensed MGM promotional or retail product. The stitching appears intact without major tears, though the overall form shows some loss of internal density due to age. This style of small-scale plush was commonly produced as a souvenir or crane machine prize during the late 1990s through the early 2000s.
