>>56458320I have a similar story.
There was this Charmander plush I saw online, that I was so obsessed with, I had my parents import it from some sketchy website in Japan.
It was very expensive to ship back in the early 2000s, but they went out of their way to set money aside for it.
I had Charmander for about a week before my friend from school came to visit and rubbed Charmander all over his balls.
I had to throw Charmander away.
