Description I purchased this Shere Khan plush from The Disney Store years ago. I recall that I was planning to get a laying Kovu plush (trips to the Disney Store were few and several months between), but they no longer had any in stock. So, I got this guy instead--pretty much because he was also a floppy, bean-filled big cat cub. I would put the purchase date at around 1998/1999.

Definitely a cutie. I love his curious little expression.

I've been searching for this guy for such a long time! This has got to be the cutest Shere Khan plush ever made--which is probably the main reason he's so difficult to find. I have the baby Bagheera plush, which is also adorable.

Yeah, and I also wonder if maybe not many of the Jungle Cubs plush were made in the first place. The baby Bagheera is hard to find, too. I wouldn't mind one to to with Shere Khan, but I get the feeling he'd be outside the range I'd want to pay.

Just be persistent and you'll eventually get a Bagheera at a good price. I got mine for only $5 off eBay and that was maybe only about a year or so ago.

Good deal. I've been looking in your gallery, but only see the grown-up version of Bagheera. Do you have a pic of the baby version?

I still need to take his picture... -_- I've tried getting pics of him about three times now I think but it is always so hard because he is so black!

Haha, I guess that could be a problem. I was wondering what color they went with, since many of the grown-up Bagheera plush that I've seen seem to be gray rather than black. Maybe put him on a blanket or something outside on a sunny day? I know my little point-and-shoot camera struggles with photographing dark colors in lower/indoor light conditions and the flash introduces its own problems (makes the colors look 'off').

Yeah, he's pitch black so that's where the issues come in. I've contemplated the outdoor thing with him and might need to resort to that. We'll see.

Yeah, I've seen the baby Bagheera sell for $50 before. Mine wasn't nearly that much, though. I got lucky and found him for a great price. There is also a baby Baloo (sp?), a baby Kaa--the snake, and I believe a baby elephant (I've forgotten his name).

Here are the pics for the five that I'm aware of. Any chance you saved the pic of the baby Hathi?

Thanks so much for linking me to photos of the others in the set! I'd love to have Baloo and Kaa--but Shere Khan most of all. I didn't save the photo of the baby Hathi, unfortunately. I saw it on eBay last year, but I completely forgot to save it, and it sold very quickly. :/

Glad to share and I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes out for a photo of that baby Hathi then!

If you do find a photo of the baby Hathi, could you send me the link to it? I'm trying to make a folder on my computer with photos of the plushies that I am on the lookout for, so that I can refer to it from time to time to refresh my memory. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Sure! I'd be happy to send it your way should I ever come across it.

There was a baby King Louie too! I didn't know there was a Hathi made for this set though.

I've been trying to find one of these again for SO LONG!

I used to have one when I was younger; he was my favorite doll!

I have the Kovu cub! And the Kiara

He is very cute, especially for a "villain".

From what I understand, this plush is pretty hard to find. I never realized this and he's been chilling on my shelf for years. The Kovu and Kiara are difficult to locate for a good price, too.

Tigers are my favorite animal, I've always loved Shere Khan!

Aww! Would you ever look to sell him?
And ya, I have them at my house some where xD I miss the old plushies like that

TygonCub In reply to MusicInRain [2012-03-13 07:32:06 +0000 UTC]

Naw, I don't think so, sorry. I still like him quite a lot. He's very unique and cute. You're right, they just don't make plush like this any more (Disney, at least).

I did an Ebay search for him, but no luck. Maybe you can create a saved Ebay search for 'shere khan plush'? There's an option you can check to have an automated e-mail sent to you whenever there is a new listing. It's how I caught a few hard-to-find things that don't come up on Ebay very often. Good luck
