That's definitely a large Pooh. I have the same Rabbit, Kanga, Piglet and Tigger, and your Pooh makes Rabbit look small. I have a Pooh that's about the same height a Rabbit. I also have an Eeyore, Roo, Gopher and Owl that are only about ten-inches tall. Rabbit is my favorite, so I have a few of them. I took the hard PVC pipe out of one, so he's more huggable to cuddle and sleep with.
My Rabbit has standard white polyfill stuffing inside. The PVC pipe ran from the middle of his head, through his neck, and down to about three or four inches from his bottom. I never had a need to pull the filling from his feet to see what was at the bottom of them, but from the outside, it feels like some sort of flat plastic foam. Mine are all densely packed, so they feel extra firm. Removing the pipe made my Rabbit about the same floppiness as Tigger. I didn't reach far enough into Rabbit to feel what's in his head or arms, but from the outside, I'm positive it's all just normal polyfill stuffing.
I have another Rabbit that doesn't feel as stiff, that I never opened up. I can tell he has a tube of some type in him, but it's definitely not hard PVC. It flexes a little like one of those stiff pool noodles, but still hold him upright. I'm guessing the maker changed how they made them a little over the time they made them.
I don't do Skype, or any instant messaging programs any more. Too many people asked me to get them off through role play and camera stuff too many times. I don't even own a camera, or a microphone.

I cut split the seam at the bottom between his feet, reached inside and felt for the pipe. The pipe was inside a cotton fabric sheath that prevented it from moving around inside him. I had to cut into that sheath to pull the pipe out. The sheath was just standard bed-sheet type material that seemed to be anchored inside with threads higher than I reached. I imagine it was secured in the neck area. The sheath couldn't slide up or down, and the ends were sewn shut around the pipe, so it stayed in place. Otherwise, I guess the pipe could have worked itself up or down and pushed against the top of Rabbit's head, or against his crotch area. Once I cut into that fabric sheath, the pipe slid out easily, and I somewhat sloppily sewed his bottom closed. I don't sew that well, but unless someone turns him upside down to look at his bottom, they'll never notice where he was opened. Of course, one could always leave the hole open, and sell him as a modified Rabbit!
I have the giant Bear too. He's so floppy that he can hardly hold his head upright. He just slouches like a lazy Bear. His floppiness makes him able to be slept with though. The blue on my Bear's nose is starting to rub off. I think that happens to all the giant ones if they're cuddled much. I have a giant floppy Sulley from Monsters, Inc, that is about big as Bear. He also Can't hold his head up, and is super huggable, like Bear. I wish my giant Meeko was as soft and floppy. Meeko is a bit larger than Bear, but is way too firm to cuddle. He feels more like a solid piece of foam inside, instead of the cotton-like fiberfill that cuddly plushies have.
You could always stuff a couple extra bags of filling in bear. Actually, I bet he could easily take an extra four bags, of the size that Walmart sells.

Good luck on finding a jumbo Stitch for a fair price. They come up on eBay sometimes, but always for way more than their original cost. The only way to get one cheap now is to visit garage sales, flea market and thrift stores a lot, and hope.
I don't know if you'd want to see my collection. The piles are over my head in three rooms. I have around 3,000 plushies in my house. I've been thinking about parting with some that I don't cuddle much, but even then, it's hard. I'm pretty attached to most of them.
I have a Playgro Thumper. I got him for only around $4, because the seller said his foot was ruined. It turned out that there are two invisible puncture marks in the foot, probably from a dog bite. I can feel the punctures with my fingers, but I can't really see them. I have a five foot tall Jar Jar Binks plushie too. Most people hate him. I'm hoping one day to get one of the giant Ewoks.

I'm stuck mostly with eBay now too, since the few thrift stores in my area stopped selling plushies ten years ago. I also don't drive, because my eyes aren't good enough. Back before 2005, I had a roommate who drove, who happened to love garage sale and flea markets, so we went to those several times a week. It's how I ended up with so many plushies. Sometimes we'd come home with a car full of plushies for only a couple dollars.
Now, I'm lucky to get a ride to a flea market more than once a year. I can get to two thrift stores by bus, but those don't do plushies any more. They hardly even have used stuff at all. It's mostly overstocked new stuff that didn't sell in another store. If you want five-year old toothpaste, shampoo, long dead batteries and stale cereal, still new in the box, you'll find it in our thrift stores, but almost none of the donated used stuff they used to sell, like plushies and clothing. If you want that, you have to go to flea markets and garage sales instead.

You can see the giant Meeko here. That was at AnthroCon 1 in 1997. The Garfield and giant Meeko were actually a friends. Immediately after the con, I got my own giant Meeko. The rest of the plushies in that picture were ones I brought to the con with me - the normal sized Meeko, the lion, and the various Folkmanis fox and ferret puppets.
This one was one corner of my living room in October of 2000. They have the date a little wrong on the picture. That is me in the Dalmatian suit. There were ten times as many plushies in my bedroom,even back then.
I don't have many recent pics on the web, at least not on sites most people would want to go to without warning. There are some on my xTube, Fetlife, Flickr, but those aren't generally safe for work! I really need to buy myself a working camera, with a viewfinder that is large enough for me to see with my bad eyes.
I have the have the jumbo Baby Bop and Barney, but I missed the only jumbo BJ I ever saw about ten years ago. I have the jumbo Mickey and Minnie, and a jumbo Maisy Mouse, and Coduroy Bear wearing green overalls. I had a jumbo Roger Rabbit and Theodore Chipmunk, but gave those away in order to move one time. I really miss my Roger Rabbit. I have a jumbo Crayola bunny. He's nearly as large as me. I also a 54-inch skunk, a 42-inch otter, and several random bears and bunnies that are in the 40 to 50 inch range. All the rest of mine are mostly in the 12 to 24 inch range. I also have way too many beanie babies that I really should part with. It's not like they are large enough to cuddle, and most of those are in storage containers where I can't easily get to them. I'm guessing there are around 700 beanies, mostly from Ty, but all with the tags removed. I always remove tags and toss them into a big plastic tag bag.

I saw the jumbo BJ on eBay, back around 2002. The seller had a picture of a kid posing with it, and it was the same size as the jumbo Barney and Baby Bop. I can't remember what it sold for, but it was for more than I could afford. I actually have two of the Barneys. One was $20 and one was $10, both from thrift stores. I got my Baby Bop from eBay for around $30. Large plushies were so much more common 15 and more years ago, and the prices were usually a lot more reasonable.
Look for the standard 34-inch Mattel Meekos on eBay. Everyone wants insane amounts for them. I bought my first one in 1995 from Walmart for under $15. Toy-R-Us was only charging around $20. They're not even close to being rare yet, but some eBay sellers are trying to get over $50 to $125 plus shipping for them. I've seen some sellers relisting the same exact plush over and over for more than a year, because most buyers know they aren't worth the ridiculous prices. Every once in a while, a seller puts one up for under $20, and they always sell fast at that price.

Wow awesome too bad nowadays it's really hard to get that big plush due to material and production..
I been wanting to talk with you for a while now as I join plushielove and help there as one of the mods and also Pyru as lurker .. Only looking at pics and also trying to collect plushies that I seen from others which catch my attention and one of them so happen to be that giant Barney and baby bop but so pricey

I'll keep my eyes open for others, and let you know, if any come up for something remotely affordable. I don't plan on parting with any of my large plushies, but even if I did, it's not too likely that you'd want any of them. Let's just say that plushies are rarely returnable as soon as they come home with me, and my large plushies are especially well loved.
I check into pyru about once a month just to keep my account from being deleted, but I don't participate any more. A few times a year, I go there and browse through the files to see if there are any good pictures. I used to have pictures there of my plushies that were mostly taken by a friend. He left the site and took all of his stuff down, and I took mine down several months later. Unfortunately, the originals of most of the pics I had were taken with his camera and likely only exist with him, if he even kept them, and he's long since moved to another area.

Ah ok.. Yea if you are interested you can join plushielove freeforums since a few of the members from Pyru are there and they don't date to act out of place since there's mods there and also arctophile is also the mod there too but rarely moderating it ..
Thanks for your kind offer tho .. I am slowing down the speed of my collection since I have a lot of the characters that I wanted .. But I am really curious in seeing both of your big Barney and baby bop together

Barney is a few inches taller than Baby Bop. Both are quite heavy. I don't think I ever got a picture with both of them in it at the same time.
I just remembered there is a video on my Barney on the web. A friend visited me and have a bit of fun with my barney while wearing an appropriate fursuit. It's not safe for work, as it's on xTube, here. Don't look if you don't want to see plush yiff. That's the same giant Barney I still have. If you are not on xTube, the same video is also on FurriesXtreme account, here. Neither of these link to my accounts. They just happen to be something that took place in my house with my Barney. My own accounts on those sites are under FoxWolfie, but I only have a handful of pictures on mine, and no videos.
