Melvingle

The $1,500 Plush

Back in 2010, my uncle, who has a business that has things made in China, said there was a factory there that would make 750 plush Melvins for $1,500. After 1 year of viewing prototypes thru email, there were several months where no news came up. Finally, on Christmas 2011, I discovered the Chinese decided to keep the money I sent over. Not only that, but they also decided not to make the plushes either. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the money back, but I do still have the last prototype they made. This plush has been all around the globe, from Disneyland to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In essence, this one plush Melvin is worth $1,500.
