plush alpaca "fur" ?

I'm considering making an alpaca character i saw on a super sentai show. (Tsukishima Alpaca on Akibarangers)
The thing has basically the fuzzy fur of the common alpaca plushy. Almost all over. and this includes a 2-3 foot long neck extension...


Where does one find this? Just to get a ballpark figure as it seems it'll be the most expensive part of all this. I'm googling this and all i see is real alpaca fur for like 300$/yd. That series isn't supposed to have that kind of budget for costumes!
Maybe in teddy bear maknig supplies? Ugh i seem to lack the specific terms to search for...

Sherpa faux fur might work, and some cuddle fabrics

Ones I found;
