These vary between reaction images towards the plushie, to objects and people placed in the hole. The close up shot of the hole in the back of the plushie has gained usage in numerous photoshops. Most fanart illustrations based on the plushie include the hole in the back with an alternate function other than its suggested sexual usage, including turning the plushie into inanimate objects, most commonly a storage container or a hand puppet. On Tumblr, posts associated with the item began spreading under tags such as "lyra plushie" and a Tumblr ask blog was launched for the toy (shown below, right), gaining over 650 followers within 12 hours after creation. On June 4th, a Garry's Mod model of the toy (shown below, left) was released on. On the same day, fanarts based on the plushie were shared on Equestria After Dark, Funnyjunk and FunnyField. On May 31st, Daily Dot published a similar article highlighting the buzz around Lyra Plushie, followed by a second article on June 1st covering Hoppip’s justification for creating the toy. On May 29th, 2012, the men's interest blog Modern Primate posted an article titled "Childhood Ruined: The 'My Little Pony' Sex Doll," which reported on the controversy surrounding the plushie. Hoppip's DeviantArt page was inundated with various reactions regarding the plushie and the /merch/ (merchandise) board on the My Little Pony imageboard Ponychan spawned such a large quantity of posts and threads about the plushie that moderators sent out a general warning to users not to post links to the auction page. Īlthough many viewers reacted in disgust and disapproval towards the plushie, others chose to ignore its intended purpose and began sharing jokes about the toy. The plushie was received a few weeks later on June 20th, 2012, by user Rainbow Slash, with its signature hole still present. The auction was closed on June 3rd with 134 bids present and was sold for £460 GBP or $704 USD. The product page included tips on how to clean the toy and an option to purchase a slightly different model without the hole. The stuffed toy came with removable clothing and "a special hole in her butt that you can stick your penis in," according to the seller's description. A Lyra plushie doll was placed for sale on the online auction site The Dealers Den by DeviantArt user Hoppip on May 27th, 2012 (shown below).
