It's a little obscure/niche compared to most plushies, but it would be fun to see people choose between Roaminbison's five "elemental dragon" plushies? https://www.etsy.com/shop/RoaminBisonWorkshop?search_query=elemental+dragon

(Bonus, they're inspired by Wings of Fire dragon tribes: Earth = MudWing, Desert = SandWing, Dark = NightWing, Forest = RainWing, and Water = SeaWing complete with glow-in-the-dark stripes!)

This is super cool! I’ve read the first book in the Wings of Fire series and have been meaning to get a hold of the second. The series is really good so far! I’d be happy to present these amazing dragon plushies!

hey guys you know that plush deer we we're obsessed with well the makers are in a little bit of trouble

[trinketfairy]

You may have seen my thread floating around Twitter these past few days which also included a few of these brands, but here's an abridged version of my thread for anyone who doesn't have/use Twitter and/or are otherwise curious

Squishables (as mentioned above)

Amuse

Jellycat (as mentioned above)

Mary Meyer

Aurora World and applicable brands (Palm Pals, Eco Nation, Miyoni, Ebba, etc.)

Steiff

Douglas Cuddle Toys

Wild Republic

Shinada Global (especially if you're looking for an alternative that uses fabric similar to Squishmallows!)

The Pokemon Center (for those wanting PKMN plush not manufactured by Jazwares!)

Prime Shiba

Plushie Dreadfuls by Mysterious

Strawbunnycakes

Hannimations

PaleoPlushies

Cirquell Curiosities

Care Weres by McMadMissile

Weighted Wildlife by Nathaniel "RoaminBison" Manns

Creep Cat Toy Co.

There's a bunch of other brands being recommended by many other users in the thread as well! Especially if you're into the same mochi minky fabric that Squishmallows uses, there's some brands that people are recommending in my thread that I've never heard of and/or haven't been able to get any experience with.

Alternatives to Squishmallow

So as many of you have probably already heard, Jazwares, the company that produces Squishmallows, is donating to charities that support Israeli soldiers and the IDF. They’re also supporting Canary Mission, which has been doxxing people who speak out against Israel. BDS hasn’t called for a boycott against them, but I can’t in good faith spend my money on their products, and I would strongly encourage everyone who enjoys plushies to really think long and hard about if you want to give your money to a company that’s helping support genocide!

But the holidays are coming up, and lots of us enjoy plushies and were fans of Squishmallow, and were planning to give Squishmallows to friends and family this year.

Fortunately, there are a number of great plushie companies out there, and I want to promote some of my favorites in the hopes that folks will get their plushie fix from a source that doesn’t side with Israel. So without further ado:

Fluffnest

Fluffnest got their start on Kickstarter a few years ago, and I adore the round shapes of their PuffPal plushies! My favorite is Pete the Possum, which is probably the best possum plush I’ve ever seen. I’ve also got a beautiful moth from their Kickstarter and I’ve been wanting their bats for ages. They also recently had a Kickstarter for an Animal Crossing-esque video game featuring their plushie characters and it looks fantastic.

Squishables

I can’t get over the plague doctor plushies. They’re so perfect and cute, and they’ve released other variations of them called Alter Egos, like a ghostly version, an alien, or a really sweet cottagecore one! They’ve got a ton of variety, but what I like the most are the fantasy plushies. There’s a lich! There are dragons and demons! Cryptids! Biblically accurate angels! A lot of really fun stuff!

Also they do a lot of great charity work! Right now they’re doing an auction for the Food Bank of New York City.

AfternoonFika

AfternoonFika is a very small business of only three people, but their plushies are extremely cute. They tend to sell out fast, so I recommend following them on social media to stay on top of any restocks! They recently released a line of dinosaurs that are precious, and of course I love their iconic cactus cat and cinnamon bun bunny.

Jellycat

Jellycat has been around since 1999, so they’re the oldest of these companies. They’ve got great designs, a ton of variety, and a lot of their plushies are made to be cuddled on and not just displayed. All three of my tiny nephews sleep with a different stuffed dog from Jellycat. My mom has a sun and several succulents that she uses as decorations. There’s a little something for everyone who enjoys plushies!

If you have any other favorite companies I haven’t mentioned, feel free to add on! I’ve enjoyed Squishmallows for a while now and I’m sad to see their leadership coming out on the side that’s committing war crimes on a daily basis, but this is a good time to discover new favorite plushie companies! And remember, money speaks loudly. Even if BDS hasn’t called for a boycott of Jazwares, it sends a message when sales start dropping for companies that support genocide. It’s a small thing, but the little things we do can add up!
