Can you help to find / or replace a lost lion hand puppet toy for upset 2yr old?

[helpfindrahrah]

Property of a very upset 2 year old boy called Archie - a little lion hand puppet called 'Rahrah' . The toy was lost yesterday in the Sutton Coldfield (in Birmingham) area - they went to the shopping centre and the library. So far we have a twitter campaign going #lostlion - and we are hoping for some good news today!

If we can't find him the next option is to replace - problem is we don't know where he was purchased - here are two pictures we have of him. Do you recognise him? and if so, do you know where we can get one?
We have an inkling he was bought from Aldi but we are not sure.

Any help will be much appreciated. See attached pics.

Bump.

sorry im not any help. Dont know where you could get another from.

When my eldest lost his dumbo in primark he was devastated. I went back to disney shop and they had sold out so went on ebay and bought one for double original price! Got a call thenext day to say they found it in primark! Hope theres a happy ending here too

Just been on ebay theres lots of lion hand puppets. Have a look

thanks - we have looked on ebay - apparently there was one similar but the listing had ended. Hopefully another one will pop up.

Bump.

Could you message the seller to see if it actually did sell? Or maybe take dc to pick a new comfort toy?

Sorry - the hashtag should be #suttonlionhunt

Bump is the best I can do and will carry on bumping when I'm free

thank you! apparently there are posters being made by the shopping centre!

Bump
anyone?

I don't have Twitter, but I looked up the #tag on Facebook. I have friends in Sutton Coldfield, so shared the Gracechurch centre's poster just in case! Good luck.

Just an update - Rah rah is still out there somewhere.... we still don't know where. Aldi are kindly sending a lion very very similar to Archie - which is lovely - but the best result would be to get the real Rah rah back. We are hoping he turns up....

Aww that's nice of Aldi.

another bump

post on local.mumsnet.com/birmingham and ask the Local Editor if she can help with the Twitter/FB campaign?

There's a Twitter account mobile.twitter.com/lostteddybear - they have a Pinterest account too.

Never used them but saw them the other day & thought it was a good idea.

Bumping. I hope your little boy gets RahRah back soon. If you have to buy a new one - Hamleys have lion glove puppets. I've had a little scout for you and can't see one exactly like Rah Rah though! The colours seem to be lighter.

I'll keep my eye out for you and if I come across one I'll post up a link. Sorry I can't be of more help!

Just to give you an update. Rah rah not found but ...
My friend (the mum) bought a replica from eBay and ... The local newspaper has adopted a lion on the child's behalf and have given the family a family ticket to go and see him!!!

I love a happy ending x

How lovely though I'm sorry Rahman wasn't found. He was obviously needed more somewhere else but I'm glad he sent a friend to keep Archie company
