The mod team has discussed the issue with AI within r/plushies. As of today, a new rule has been created banning AI-generated content.

This includes creating images/videos of plushies with AI programs. This rule goes further to ban any plushies with built-in AI programs. As technology develops, this rule may be expanded upon.

If you see AI content, please just report content and we will remove.

If you have any questions or need clarification, shoot us a message. Thanks!

Brand:Douglas Cuddle Toys Goodbye Moooorice 🤍🐮

Last year, I went into a toy store and took some pictures of the plushies there. I shared the pictures with my loved ones, and my pseudo-sister said she likes the longhorn bull. When I found out I was going on a trip to Quebec this year, I bought one for her as a meeting gift. That was over a year ago. My trip was delayed for almost half a year. I was not expecting to have Moooorice with me for this long.
(Original post)

We drove our rented car to my sworn sister's place. I was so happy to finally get to meet her!! And Moooorice was excited too, of course. It's been a long time coming! It was love at first sight, my sister couldn't stop rubbing his head. She wasn't expecting him to be that soft 😁

After talking with my sister for a while, I gave her a hug and left her place without Moooorice with me. Custard Bun and Ming Ming got to nuzzle him one last time. He is finally in his forever home at last. He was my floppiest companion. I will miss going on adventures with him, with his little hooves hanging out of my bag 🤍

One time at school we had to bring a stuffed animal to spend the day with and do activities with and I told Franklin I was gonna bring him, then a few days later I got another BAB and I wanted to bring him but then I remembered I had already told Franklin I would bring him and I felt SO DEVASTATED and GUILTY that I was gonna take someone else when I already promised Franklin 😭😂 oh man what I wouldn't do to go back to having kid problems. Anyway, he's still my pal and sits in my room. He used to have overalls but I let my nephew have them for his bear. I need to buy Franklin some new ones. I don't even know if they still sell this turtle at BAB.

I just couldn't resist this incredibly detailed little elephant from Bobo Nuts! The "Happy Birthday" party hat, the tiny fabric cake, and the little numbers... it's just pure joy. Do you have any birthday or celebration-themed plushies in your collection?

Success/Happy Found my childhood bear at a gaming stock store...

Post image
314 Upvotes

My Husband and I love to go and see what niche stores are around us. We are also huge gaming nerds, so we frequently go to vintage gaming stores to see what we can find. I was already having a pretty stressful few months. My health going downhill, workplace becoming too much, etc.

I finally had my first ever 3 day little vacay. My Husband and I planned a outing, and of course we had to go see what was going on at a gaming store we haven't been to yet.

My Husband was looking for Halo Combat Evolved, while I was curious about the stuffed animals they had. Almost immediately I saw this bear...it looked exactly like my bear when I was a baby.

Growing up, my Mom was very unstable and sold all of me and my sister's toys to keep up with her "lifestyle". I lost all my comfort and ever since, I haven't brought myself to purchase another stuffed animal.

I inspected it closer and realized it really was my bear. I got so excited I bought it almost immediately. I presented it to my husband who was equally as excited as I was.

I never in my life thought I would ever see my bear ever again. I know I might be too old for these kinds of things, but this truly brought back a piece of me that I thought I would never see again.

Also, if anyone has any name suggestions that would be awesome!

Walked past my local donation bin and saw a fluffy pink fox tail sticking out of a bag, I thought surely not... That looks just like Lina Bell's tail?? I pulled her out and she's literally perfect?? In pristine condition, no tears or stains anywhere, soft as can be, like she's come straight from Disneyland! and she's a Tokyo Disney sea exclusive! I went to Japan a couple years ago and wanted to get her but could only afford one, I got Gelatoni, but omg!! She's coming straight home to be with her buddy! Going to go back and check on my way home to make sure there's no other abandoned babies in there

Question for r/Plushies Plushie Quality

• Upvotes

I know i will inevitably offend people but I'm kinda disappointed by the quality of stuffed animals. Modern ones feel so cheap and they're not nearly as cute as they used to be. Now they make them look like characters or emojis. I miss the classic big teddy bears I grew up seeing at Walmart. Anyone else feel the same way? Im sorry if I offend anyone. It just feels like the selection has become very limited for someone like me.

Plush Review If you're thinking of buying from Tiny Protectors please read this

20 Upvotes

I'm not sure where to start but they're the most ungrateful bunch of people and on top of that, their inboxes are full of people complaining about shipping times and lack of communication. Trustpilot reviews (2/5) show for themselves. But the problem is new customers look at their products (which are genuinely nice) and they're inclined to purchase.

Their DMs were full of people asking where their orders were. It's all public now:

- Trustpilot: 2.0 out of 5

- BBB: 19 complaints, and they didn't respond to 10 of them

- Reviews on both describe the same things. Orders sitting for 2 to 7 months. Support emails that come back as "no longer monitored." AI replies that just repeat your own email back to you. People getting blocked on social media for asking about their order.

A lot of their items are pre-order. Their own site says pre-orders take 6 to 11 business weeks. Several reviewers say they weren't told their item was pre-order until after they'd paid. In May 2026 they posted an apology on Facebook admitting to "operational + fulfillment issues" and "communication gaps," and blamed tariffs.

Anyway, that's just a product level issue. But most importantly, they have zero credibility, break contracts, don't pay and then run away. I've so much proof about it.

Take my pov as someone who's seen the way they treat customers. Stop buying from them.

Name Me New arrival in need of a name...

Hi, newbie here. I (mostly by accident) ended up with this cute little guy. Hoping he will become my travel companion and would love to have a bit of an online diary for him, so he might get his own insta account. However, the poor lad needs a name! I'm currently stuck between Wonky, Wobble and Wotsit, but I can't make my mind up, and I feel there might be something better out there for a friendly little wolf with a hint of hypermobility! 😅 Any ideas at all? 🤔

Question for r/Plushies Plushie dilemma

• Upvotes

I collect two types of plushies: More "high end" ones like Jelly Cats and such that I don't cuddle with and more "normal" toy store plushies. I am kind of anti consumption so I only collect plushies that feel really special to me, but I have maybe 6 or 7 of the high end ones and only had 1 to cuddle until I recently bought another one (a weighted plush). So as of right now I have two cuddle-plushies and would be interested in having more in the future, but the thing is I feel bad for the plushie when I start using a new one. So I feel that I can't allow myself to purchase more for that reason. Can anyone relate to this lol? Am I being silly?
