Coco Sakura the Spotted Spaniel
Name: Coco Sakura (nickname is Coco)
Gender: Female
Obtained: Dec 2021
Background: I stumbled upon this plushie while looking at Webkinz on Mercari. I'm not sponsored by Mercari, nor am I affiliated with them, but I've bought and sold quite a few items on there and it's so easy and convenient to use. It's an especially fantastic place to find gently used plushies, and most of my recent Webkinz purchases have come from Mercari.
Anyways, the person who was selling this particular plushie had it listed as a "webkinz dog, with pink and brown circles." Obviously looking up the name of the plushie itself would not have yielded this result, so I guess I found it by some stroke of luck. The actual plush is called the Webkinz Spotted Spaniel. Its design and color scheme appealed to me, so for only $5 plus shipping I snatched her up quickly.
She has very quickly become one of my favorite Webkinz that I own. She didn't come with a tag but I get the feeling that she has hardly, if ever, been played with. Her fur is in perfect condition, and the curly fur on her ears and legs is especially soft and bouncy. I've talked before about how Webkinz's later plushies are made really well, and this one is no exception. She sits upright very well, not too stiff, perfectly floppy and cute. After buying this plush and realizing how overjoyed I was to have it, I decided to look into some of their other spaniel plushies, and honestly? This one is the absolute best one in terms of design and quality. I can't put into words how much I love this plushie. She definitely has a new forever home! <3
Personality and Other Stuff: Coco is positively beautiful and radiant, and she knows it. She sometimes comes off as arrogant and uptight because she freely takes compliments without any courtesy. But people don't mind that she can be somewhat of a snob, since she makes up for it by being fun-loving and a jokester. She is best friends with Evelynn, and they often like to gossip to each other about their friends, as well as their personal lives. She's also somewhat of a loaf, and despite having similar interests with Juniper they often clash in what they enjoy spending their free time doing.
Fun Fact: Despite absolutely adoring this plushie, I'm actually not a fan of what the Spotted Spaniel looks like in the virtual Webkinz World. This has been the case with a few other Webkinz plushies as well, but it's especially disappointing for this one because the plushie definitely exceeds my expectations, and I know that the Webkinz team is capable of making some really interesting virtual pets.
