Searching – 1986 HALLMARK Trendy Tabby LARGE ORANGE PURRRSONALITY CAT

Plush Memories Lost Toy Search Service Posted on by

Penny is still looking for Taffi. She writes:


I’ve been looking for something like 10 years. I have my doubts that she was ever made. Just part of the pamphlet that came with the rest. I found a miniature of her but still want the plush version of her. I tried disguising an extra Miz Maudie once, but that was just temporary insanity.

, Searching – 1986 HALLMARK Trendy Tabby LARGE ORANGE PURRRSONALITY CATI’ve enclosed the best photo, actually, the only photo I have of Taffi. The reason I’m looking for her is because I started collecting the Purrrsonality Cats a little over 8 years ago.

The date on the Taffi Cat is 1986. She is an orangish tabby cat with a topknot tied with a pink (I think) bow on top of her head(she’s a trendy one). She’s wearing a necklace with a red heart around her neck.

She’s a long hair Tabby that will probably stand 13″ tall give or take some. The rest of the collection is approximately that height. Oh yes, she’s probably on the chubby side.

I found my first Purrrsonality Cat in a thrift shop that had just opened. His name is Franklin the Top Cat, the distinguished male out of the three male cats. There is Chuck, the Physi-Cat, the athletic one, Lester the Whiz Cat, the professor type cat, and Miz Maudie the Tender-Loving Cat, very proper.

Then there’s Taffi, the Trendy Tabby, the, well, trendy lady cat. The elusive Taffi is the only one left to complete the set. I have yet to talk to anyone that has even seen her. Hallmark also made Merry Miniatures of the group. I found Taffi a couple of times as a miniature, but I didn’t collect them.

I want the plush version of Taffi, because it will complete a set that has been difficult to collect. The Cats are a family and without Taffi, it’s hollow. I appreciate anything you will do to help.

Sincerely yours,
Penny

Searching – 1986 HALLMARK Trendy Tabby LARGE ORANGE PURRRSONALITY CAT — 5 Comments

  1. Hi Penny,

    I have scoured the internet in hopes of another image or something that would confirm that this cat was made. I can’t find a thing which makes me also doubt this cat was made. Have you contacted Hallmark to confirm that the plush version was produced?

  2. Hi Brieanna,
    I tried contacting Hallmark and they disclaimed any knowledge or responsibility of plush Hallmark Card animals. They started sending me email advertisements and order forms, online, for the Hallmark line of ornaments and figurines. That was at the beginning of my search, off and on for two years. I contacted dealers of Hallmark cards and their keepsakes. I contacted stores that had at one time carried Hallmark but discontinued line. I have contacted other plush animal distributors of new and used plush. I gave up rather quickly because nobody seemed to give a care. I would have thought that Hallmark, themselves, would be a very interested party in the search of a series they sponsored and distributed in 1986. You know, like they show their warmth and kind thoughts on their cards and ornaments that create such memorable holidays. I not only wonder about Taffi, but the existence of the Hallmark they betray in ads.
    Mama is there a real Hallmark? ha ha.
    I must admit, one lady contacted me about a year after I started my search. I had all but Taffi. She was offering me a set of all 5. I could not afford it at that time. I did not save her information. How I wish I had! I would have been able to save the money. I think she may have offered me a good amount of time to keep the set until I was able to purchase the set. I did not want to commit to something I had no way of guaranteeing. There was no pressure on her part, either. I was obviously not thinking clearly. (menopause?)

    If you type Purrrsonality Cat in the search box of this sight and read the comments it would appear that it does exist. Unfortunately it or information appears to be very rare.
