2008 Nanco Purple Wolf with tongue hanging out NWT - Hard to Find*

This guy is about 16 inches tall from the tip of his ears to his bottom in his sitting position. He has stitched eyes and his original Nanco paper tag is still attached. There is some minor creasing in the paper tag as shown in the photos. His tushy tags are intact and in perfect condition. He is from 2008 and is retired and I could not find any other one of him anywhere online after doing an extensive search. He is in perfect condition no flaws or issues at all.
