The ever mysterious and terribly expensive "Pale Dolls". These guys show up on Ebay Auctions every so often, but you can expect to pay only top dollar to grab one!
The two in the background are simply made using only lighter-than-normal colored fabric. They appear slightly 'washed out' but the quality shows they're not simply bleached. The two in the front are some bizzarre albino version of their normal selves. These are MUCH rare-er. They even have these vaguely-colored white plastic eyes. They're actually somewhat creepy if you get close. This is a photo of their actual hang-tag .

First, a close up look at the "Pastel" versions. Close up, Pastel Tails is very cute! No one knows why they decided to do these strange color varient dolls... but they sure are interesting to try and collect. These 'pastels' aren't quite as pricy as the strange cream-tone ones.
At Rathe's photo you see a good close shot of the pale Sonic. You can see his fuzzy pastel fabric. Up close, he's rather cute, like the pale Tails above. Even his nose, shoes and eyes are a lighter color. This is a very interesting plush.

And here are the super pale ones.
Again, the photo isn't close enough to get the 'creepy factor' going with these guys. These have pale brown thread to indicate the mouth, but it's hard to see.
Every once and a while one will turn up on Ebay, but don't expect to pay any less than $100 dollars to get it! It is possible they were some kind of limited run in Japan, done in 1998.
You can compare Pale Tails to the Cream White Tails. As you can see, being all white does not help the contrast in the photo any, but at least you can see the detail of his construction from several angles.
