Please could you assist? Replacement toy.

Desperately seeking seahorse! My son recently lost his toy seahorse whilst on a trip away. Left in hotel but they claim he's not been found. DS has had the toy since he was a baby, he's his 'best friend', and he is utterly distraught.

I am trying to source a replacement. The toy is yellow with a blue dorsal/back fin. Approximately 7 inches tall and made by Nature Planet. The toy is discontinued.

I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has one of these I would be happy to buy it off you. I do have a photo but can't post it yet, as a newbie.

Thank you.

Hope you can source another one OP.

It's horrible when a favourite toy goes missing.

I found this picture online and wondered if this is what it looks like since you can't post any pictures yourself yet.

There is a toys and games forum on here and I think there is a wanted section too where you could post for more traffic to get your thread seen.

Please could you assist? Replacement toy.

Yes that is the one! That would be from one of my many other posts everywhere Smile I am hunting everywhere but as the toy is discontinued it can really only be sourced secondhand. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed for you that one turns up.

I wonder if an aquarium or sea life centre may still have them for sale in their gift shop.

Do you have anything like that near you OP? You could maybe give them a phone or send them a message on Facebook to check.

Have you tried emailing the company? [email protected]
Long shot but worth a try

Toomanybeckys · 08/09/2020 19:35

Hi all,
Thank you for the replies. I've already emailed the company and every aquarium in the UK! The toy was bought several years ago and is now discontinued, so secondhand is my only hope.

He's not got the correct colour fin but there are a few more hits under Adventure Planet rather than Nature Planet - it might be the American version of the brand name

Are you on any parenting Facebook groups? Might be worth asking on there.

Try ebay. We had the same situation with a discontinued Teddy originally from mothercare. Found one to bid on

Toomanybeckys · 08/09/2020 22:45

Thank you for your replies. I've got alerts set on ebay already. I'm not on FB but friends have posted for me. I'm really hoping that someone with one they are prepared to part with will see any of my many posts. Grin
