anyways, the maiou cultrure plush is the best plush to get jalapeno if you are making a pvz plush collection

this isn't the first time popcap did this, as they did it also with Kernel-pult

Left is The Linxin Kernel-Pult and The Right is the Vicky-Ray Kernel-Pult

Only Difference being the fact it ACTUALLY has a pult

for similarity

-all 3 Are 30cm/12in
-all 3 use the same mouth stitching
-all 3 have the left eye bigger than the right
-the right lower eyelid is up

behold, the WorldMax Jalapeno Plush, or ThinkGeek Solutions Jalapeno, i also put the maiou culture one to compare
At First glance, they look like the same plush, and funny thing is:

they are

but to avoid confusion, i labeled each one on which one belongs to which company

ORIGIN

He even was not only part of the Plot in N-Tranced and The Skylanders Imaginators DLC, But Also a Boss Fight in Both of them

Afterwards, Fake Crash started to become a recurring character within the Franchise, Not Only In Promotional Material, But Being A Playable Character In CTR, CNK, The Japan Version of Crash Bash.

Andy Gavin, The Co-Creator of Crash Bandicoot, Said That The Team at Naughty Dog saw the Commercial, and thought Fake Crash was so funny that they decided to make him have a Cameo / Easter Egg in Wrapped (Crash 3).

When He Saw The plush set, he laughed for 30 Minutes and the marketing team didn't.

So where did Fake Crash Come from? Fake Crash first Appeared as part of a Japanese TV Ad Campaign for Cortex Strikes Back Before Feb 1998, In it some kids are looking for Crash, and Instead come across Fake Crash who does a Poor Attempt at Crash's Famous Dance.
