These plushes are both by GOSH, which, as you know is UK based. However, they are appearing at amusement parks in France. These two were won at Walygator, 1 year apart. They are likely still available there in 2010. The Shadow here is 2.5 ft high (Big!) , and over time, they changed the stuffing. The Tails (older) is full of polyester and is hard, while the Shadow is softer. They're not a 100% France type item like the other things here, but it's worth noting because they're so available as prizes.
