I'm going out on a huge limb here since this topic is really niche, but if there are any other video game memorabilia collectors out there, or fans of Super Mario RPG in general, this might interest you.
Similar to how I made that thread about the 24 karat gold GBAs (which no one had even seen pictures of before the thread was made), there's a similar case of a missing collectible which has become rather infamous within the video game merchandise and Nintendo merchandise collecting communities.
There are many, many, many Japanese plush toy sets of Super Mario, and they range from all sorts of games, like Super Mario 64, Super Mario World, and even Yoshi's Island.
Super Mario RPG also has a plush set based off of the game, however, it is EXTREMELY rare, and some of the most coveted Nintendo memorabilia comes just from this plush set alone.
The set features plush characters of Mario, Yoshi, Boshi, Mallow, a Mushroom, and a Star....however....
After 10 years, the community has only seen the Mallow plush appear twice for auction on Yahoo Japan Auctions. And we also don't have any pictures of him aside from the distant shots in the auction (meaning that it's possible he isn't even an official plush, but a well made custom).
So while that's mysterious enough, there is an even larger mystery about the set.
We have no idea how many more characters there could be and have never been able to verify it.
There is a strong possibility there could be a Geno, but we've never seen any pictures. And with Mallow almost evading us completely, we can't conclude no pictures=no existence, because maybe he's just super rare.
So all in all, we have no idea if the Mallow floating around is official, and we don't know if a Geno (or other characters) exist.
Banpresto made these plushes, so someone from the company must have designed them, approved them, and released them- therefore someone out there knows the truth behind this mysterious set.
