Wow I had no idea Gloomy has been around that long! I didn't know about him until a year or two ago.

Aw, it looks like this person has a fake Gloomy bear...wonder if they know?

I know, same here!


Nope, that person has an authentic Gloomy.
Those were the ones from years before, before Taito started making their version of Gloomy

Oh, I see. I had no idea Gloomy's original design was slightly different. I was actually wondering if he always looked the same. Very interesting info. ^^ Do you know where I can see some of the old ones?

You can find photos of some of the older ones here:

I'm super jealous os those people's collections!

But I'm working my way there!

I want to see your collection! :D
Some of those gloomy bear plushies are really hard to get. I'd really love to get one of the new chocolate gloomies *__* I have the old one

What are the new chocolate Gloomys? I have a red one with chocolate dripping from his mouth and ants crawling on him. Is that a new or old one?

gloomybearattack said...

haha I have such a small collection
I only have 6, four of them in my room and the two are at the apartment I'm moving to in June.

Yeah, I was eyeing a set on ebay, but it got bought out!!!

Ela, you have the old version.

The new ones actually look like Chocolate.

I got the old pink version as a gift last year. The new ones are really adorable!

I have a small collection too. My only notable plushies are the chocolate gloomy and the grizzly teddy gloomy I got from the UFO catchers. One play on the UFO catcher in Japan is mindblowingly expensive...
