Maymei Forgotten Funfair 400% Hot Air Balloon Instructor Plush Blind Box

The Maymei Forgotten Funfair 400% series — 乐园遗迹 (lèyuán yíjì — Ruins of the Amusement Park) — is one of the most conceptually brilliant blind box series to come out of the Chinese designer toy world in recent memory. Six funfair workers, frozen in time inside an abandoned park that the world forgot. And the Hot Air Balloon Instructor is one of the most visually stunning characters in the entire lineup. That hat alone will stop you mid-scroll. 🎪🍂

🎠 About Maymei & the Forgotten Funfair Series

Maymei (麦麦) is the beloved vinyl-face plush IP beloved by collectors for its signature expressive sculpted face, distinctive mismatched eyes, and incredibly soft grey plush body. The Forgotten Funfair / 乐园遗迹 series pairs Maymei's iconic look with an evocative, slightly melancholy concept — an amusement park left behind, and its workers still quietly at their posts: the Security Guard, the Traffic Controller, the Popcorn Vendor, the Ice Cream Seller, the Petrification Magician... and the Hot Air Balloon Instructor, waiting patiently to take someone somewhere magical. 🎈

The series contains 6 regular characters plus 1 ultra-rare secret — pull rates at 1 in 6 for regular characters. At 400% scale, Maymei stands approximately 13–14 inches tall and is a genuinely substantial display and hugging companion. 🌿

🎈 Her Look — Every Detail:

The Body — Maymei's Signature Grey Plush: Her round, compact body is the beloved Maymei standard — warm soft grey fluffy plush all over, dense and cuddly, with those signature round bear/cat ears at the top with soft pink inner ear lining. And at the back? A sweet round grey fluffy pom-pom tail, because of course. 🐻🩶

The Hood — A Hot Air Balloon, On Her Head: This is where things get extraordinary. Her hood is designed as a miniature hot air balloon — with all the classic balloon panel detailing rendered in textured corduroy fabric:

🟥 Deep rust/burnt red corduroy panels alternating with 🟨 Warm cream/ivory corduroy panels — patchwork, just like a real balloon envelope

The blue trim/piping runs along the edge of the entire hood, echoing the sky the balloon would rise into. And at the very crown — two round wooden barrel buttons, one on each side, like the top rigging of a balloon in miniature. Every detail is intentional. Every detail is perfect. 🎈

The Blue Rope Drawstring: A grey-blue twisted cord rope ties in a loose bow at the front of the hood — like the ropes that tether a hot air balloon to the ground. It's such a specific and delightful detail, and it pulls the whole look together beautifully. 🪢

The Cape — Rust Red Corduroy: A deep rust-red corduroy cape drapes over her shoulders in the same rich rust tone as the hood panels — giving her the look of someone who has been on a very long journey and is still wearing their flight gear. Warm, slightly worn, full of character. 🍂

The Sweater: Peeking out from beneath the cape — a white cable-knit sweater in a classic textured knit pattern. Cozy, vintage, and completely charming. 🤍

👁️ The Face — Maymei's Most Distinctive Feature:

Maymei's signature sculpted vinyl face plate in soft cream-peach, with:

🟤 Hair: Soft warm brown/taupe painted hair with a sweet blunt fringe — understated and gentle

💛 Nose: A small, soft yellow beak-like nose — slightly avian, fitting perfectly for a hot air balloon pilot with her eyes on the sky above

👁️ Eyes: Three sets of eyes, including Maymei's iconic heterochromic eyes — each eye a different color. A deep, dreamy blue on one side and a warm reddish-orange on the other — like she's seen both the daytime sky and the sunset from up in that balloon. Unforgettable.

🌀 Eye Detail: Each eye features a signature swirl/circular highlight — Maymei's distinctive eye style that gives every figure that slightly dreamy, faraway look

✂️ Cheek Details: Soft painted stitch-mark crosses (X marks) on both cheeks — Maymei's signature character detail, giving her that handmade, slightly haunted fairground quality

🏷️ The Collector Tag:

A small parchment-style hangtag card in warm brown tones — the series aesthetic perfectly captured in a tiny card. Shows the Hot Air Balloon Instructor illustrated in her full outfit. 🎈🍂
