There's a new name on the plush making scene for late 2012, and that's "Nanco Nancy Sales Co". They appear to be a maker of licensed Sonic plushes in various sizes. They are most likely a "prize toy / fair toy" manufacturer, sort of like how Kellytoy started out. These 3 sizes of Sonics were spotted for sale at a vendor booth at the Fresno Fair. You can see the front of the tag in the photo, & the back at the right. These will likely show up as prizes on fairgrounds & amusements elsewhere. BEWARE: vendors sometimes pair official things with fake merchandise, especially at 'anything goes' venues where these may show up. There's an entry on Bootlegs with this same company's dolls.
