Help me fix my daughter's trauma - In desperate need of replacement pink kawaii octopus toy!

Open

Long story short, during a recent move a toy octopus that belonged to my 3 year old daughter ended up being put in a donate box. At the time she didn't seem too bothered but 5 months on she has remembered she no longer has it and is devastated. We've tried all the normal things, explaining to her that another kid has it now, and that she already has alot of toys, etc, however my wife and I feel guilty and want to try to make this right for her.

The toy we're after is very similar to the first image I've attached however it had a white hood (kind of like a baby bonnet) with green flowers on it and had a dummy (pacifier) in it's mouth. I've also attached a drawing my daughter did of it when I told her I was going to ask the internet for help (https://imgur.com/a/CV3pyEs). I've searched every kawaii plushie store and google image prompt I can think of to find a replacement to no avail.

If anyone is able to find the toy I'm after for sale online (ideally located in Australia, but I'm willing to pay international shipping at this point) I would be incredibly grateful!

I’ve already searched all of the obvious easy kawaii/anime toy shops I could find, as well as Amazon, eBay, google shopping etc. The toy was given to us by a friend who had travelled to Japan prior to giving my daughter the gift so potentially it’s from there.

Do you have an actual picture of it? (You could edit it so your daughter’s face isn’t visible). An image of the real item would make easier.

Also, only one picture is visible. Post to Imgur or similar and share the link in a comment or edit the post and share the link there.

Thanks for that, I added the other photo just now.

Unfortunately we don’t have have a photo of it or it would be easier to find.
