Koala Plush

This plush toy is being sold by Houwsbaby on Amazon, and I believe it to be Furby-inspired due to the rings on its ears, the cutesy eyes, and the area around both its eyes.

The only color scheme I've seen it in is the purple and pink one pictured above.

It has purple paws attached to itself above its tummy, purple feet, pink and purple fur on its ears and body, and a large, purple nose. It has a beige patch around both its eyes, similarly shaped to a Furby's faceplate, and blue eyes with a yellow sparkle in each. It has a large, light pink patch for its tummy area, and a blue, sparkly circle on each ear with smaller, blue rings inside it.

According to a photo of the tag, posted by Richard W. in an Amazon review, the manufacturer is Yangzhou STEP Toys & Gifts Co., Ltd. Also, according to the company's site, they are partners with Hasbro. I don't have proof that this is true, and this does not mean Hasbro was involved with creating the plush. The plush's cloth tag has no mention of Hasbro or the Furby brand; it only mentions the manufacturer, and the toy has a cardboard tag that says "Houwsbaby", not Hasbro.

I believe this was just a toy created by the manufacturer for Houwsbaby, and that Hasbro did not license this product. Hasbro being a partner with Yangzhou STEP Toys doesn't make this a licensed product; any toy companies can request the manufacturer to manufacture toys for them, and Houwsbaby was one of them.
