Instructions

  1. Select Madagascar Plush Toys

    • 1

      Identify the character toys. The popular Madagascar plush toys are the main characters of the movie: Marty the Zebra, Alex the Lion, Mehman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo. The Penguins are also in good demand.

    • 2

      Choose the type of plush toy you are looking for, talking or non-talking. There are talking versions of Marty the Zebra and Alex the Lion and they say some of the memorable lines from the movie. They require two AA batteries.

    • 3

      Select a size. The Madagascar plush animals come in three sizes: mini, regular or jumbo.

    • 4

      Consider ease of purchase when making your selection. Some of the Madagascar plush toys, like Mort the Lemur, are hard to find.

    • 5

      Consider the age of the toy recipient when making your selection. Most of the Madagascar plush toys are intended for ages three and up.

    Purchase a Madagascar Plush Toy

    • 6

      Search for Madagascar plush toys at auction sites such as eBay (see Resources below). Don't buy from a seller who hasn't posted detailed photos of the toy. Look for any additional information about the toy's condition to help you select the best option.

    • 7

      Check several retailers, prior to purchase, to compare prices. Prices appear to vary noticeably amongst the participating retailers.

    • 8

      Be aware that Madagascar plush toys also come as backpack clips. The popular character clips are Gloria, Alex, Penguin and Marty.

    • 9

      Save yourself time and gas money by checking the online catalogs of toy stores before you make the trek to their physical locations.

    • 10

      Find Madagascar toys for sale on the Playful Plush Toys website (see Resources below) and other similar online toy boutiques.

Tips & Warnings

  • Take shipping costs into consideration when bidding at an auction site in order to keep your final cost as low as possible.

  • If purchasing Madagascar plush toys from private sellers, check that the toys still have their tags to be sure they are new.
