Okay. So, I came across this on an eBay listing and didn't hesitate to snatch it up before someone else did. Can someone please explain where this guy came from??

The two little norndolls came as "free gifts" with Creatures 2 back in the day, as most of you most likely know. Look at the size comparison with the big guy! He's definitely not home made. He comes with the official Mindscape tag just like the little ones and is manufactured exactly the same way, just scaled up.

Without knowing, my theory is he was produced in very limited numbers for promotional purposes in stores, or given to internal people who worked on the game.

If anybody can shed any light on this, please do. I messaged the person I bought him from on eBay. Just waiting on their reply.

Also, does anybody else have any rare memorabilia? I would love to see it.

That's a big norndoll! I think your theory about big dolls in stores for promotional purposes is the most likely one. Maybe someone here will remember seeing one in a store? I'm interested to find out what the seller says.

Ooh, nice find! I used to have Blueberry (the purple one) but alas, life took all my cool stuff like that away over the years. I've never seen the big green one before. Definitely let us know if the seller passes on some lore!

Conclude with killer catchphrase.

On the Creatures Wiki Norndoll page there are a few photos showing the big norndolls in Creatures Labs' offices, so maybe that's where he came from?

Oh, nice. I didn't see that webcam shot on the Creatures Wiki Norndoll page. I guess that gives weight to these big guys having been an internal gift for people who worked there. No word back from the eBay seller unfortunately. I might try nagging them again.

I'm very happy to have it though :)

The eBay seller bought him at an estate sale in Western Massachusetts. They don't have any further information unfortunately. My guess would be that the original owner worked in the Creatures Labs offices and may have passed away.

The big one is so cool! When I bought my Blueberry I thought he’d be closer to the size of the big one. I was disappointed at first but I’m proud to have a piece of Creatures history, even if I can’t really hug him. XD You’re so lucky to have a big guy!

Meow.

I think he's really cool too! I've got him on my desk next to my retro PC. I thought it was very fitting. I'm very proud to have such a rare piece of Creatures history myself :) Always on the lookout for other things too.
