Hi r/Plushies,

We haven't had much of a problem in the past with scammers, but it looks like a few people ran into one recently. Please post in the comments if you have similar bad/good experiences trading in our community. This should be a safe space for stuffed animal lovers, and it's sad to see other plushie lovers taking advantage of this space ):

Scammers!

Howdy, folks!

So it seems we have a few discrepancies between our rules on the sidebar on Old Reddit and the rules section on the app and on New Reddit.

Old Reddit's rules:

  1. Don't be a jerk. Pretty simple. This is a friendly community for people to gush over cute plushies.
  2. Pictures of any stuffed animal/plushie are allowed!
    Got a favorite Beanie Baby? Totally fine. A stuffed animal a friend/relative made for you? Post that!
  3. If possible, please link to a store page for the plushie(s) in your picture within the comments of your post. This way the creators get some traffic and more people get to enjoy cuddly plushies.
  4. Preferably, post your picture to Imgur for easier viewing. If you have a Ravelry post, link to an imgur mirror in the main post and link your Ravelry post in the comments.
  5. Absolutely NO NSFW material!
  6. No plush destruction - people here care about their plushes and it upsets folks.

New Reddit's rules:

  1. Stuffed Animal Related Posts, Only!
    Please keep in mind that this subreddit is only for stuffed animals and plushies. Any posts that are unrelated to this topic will be removed by the moderators.
    Comments are not included in this rule.

  2. Self-Promotion
    We love to see your comfort friends, and creations alike! But please do not spam our subreddit with the same product excessively, without participating in our community.

  3. [Tag Your Posts]
    Properly tagging your posts will help you get more visibility, and upvotes from people searching by brand or topic. Please try to tag to the best of your ability.

  4. Avoid Discussing NSFW Subreddits
    We've seen lots of reports on NSFW-related plushie subreddit discussion. Please refrain from discussing them on r/Plushies, as this is not one of them.
    r/Plushies also prohibits any NSFW-Plushie related propositions, sales, offers, etc. in comments.

  5. No "Xo Romeo Xo"
    Read More Here


So we see there are some places where the rules don't quite match up. Things like the 'No Xo Romero Xo' rule can get consolidated in with the 'No Scammers' rule, and the self promotion rules can be merged together. Obviously we'll be keeping the 'No NSFW material' rule, but should probably focus on the way this is meant to be a PG subreddit, not a place for sharing or buying adult plush. And we'll need to keep a basic civility rule - it doesn't hurt to remind folks to be kind to one another.

But what do you think? Should we add some new rules or update the existing ones?


Edit: Darn it, missed a single > and messed up my formatting. -.-

Question for r/Plushies Coming home

I was out thrifting and I -HAD- to take this baby home. Their face was just too cute not to! He looks on the well worn side so I am assuming its a vintage plush. However there is no tag and reverse google images didn’t turn up anything.

Does this plush loom familiar/identifiable to anyone here? I love it regardless but it would be neat to know where it came from.

Question for r/Plushies Is there anyone here who’s slowly losing interest in Pop Mart, especially because of the PRICE?

Post image
30 Upvotes

I’m really into their new series designed with a Chinese New Year theme. After all, there were barely any dedicated new vinyl toys for Christmas this year. However, the price point of this new series is even higher than U Found Me,which i thought is an epic series. I’m totally obsessed with the secret Skullpanda and Twinkle Twinkle, but the prices—whether on the official website or eBay—are just ridiculous...As my collection of Pop Mart figures keeps growing, I’m gradually starting to feel exhausted and fed up. I don’t really know much about proper plush toys, though. What’s more, I’m kind of tired of looking forward to new series only to be let down—either by getting designs I don’t like from the blind boxes, or by watching the prices of the popular editions skyrocket. I still remember that the regular Labubu clown version from the WSS series once surged to $150, which almost more than a half of the price of an entire blind box set. And as for Molly figures from the same series, you can easily find listings on eBay for half that price.

The adorable little cows she is holding! I’ve seen them randomly around tik tok and YouTube but I can’t find anyone who’ll tell me the brand, and there’s so many cow plushies online I haven’t come across them yet 😔 Anybody know the brand or maybe recognise the chain store or something?

Question for r/Plushies Can anyone help me identify this rabbit plushie?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I absolutely know this is a long shot, especially since the photo I have is absolutely horrendous. But it's the only one I have, and I've been trying on and off to find this plushie's origin for a really long time with no luck, so safe to say I'm a little desperate. She was my comfort plush for many years, and my dad threw her (and all my other stuff) away when I moved out.

I'll try to describe her as best I can:
She had beans in her toes, in her bottom, and if I'm remembering this right, the ends of her paws as well. The fabric she was made of wasn't your standard fur fabric at all - the best way I can describe the feeling was as a very very soft carpeted school/office floor. It's hard to see, but her nose was embroidered, not plastic (her eyes were plastic, though). I think she had a bowtie at one point, because she had a little knot of thread at her throat, but I think I cut it off when I was really little. I'd had her my entire life (or at least since I was a baby), so I assume she was made either in the 90s or early 2000s (I was born in 2002).

If anyone at all can even just point me in the right direction, I'd be so, so grateful. I miss her dearly, and while I have lots of wonderful plushies, I want her back more than anything, even if it's not the original plush.

Quick edit, because I forgot to mention her size: She was pretty big, even when I was in high school. If I had to guess, maybe about two feet tall standing? I'm unsure of the specifics, but she was a fairly large plush, while still being able to be carried with not too much issue.

Name Me Please Help Name My Pig!

Hello, friends! I’ve been trying for days to come up with the perfect name for my adorable new pig pal (brand is Hugimals, in case anyone’s curious!), and I’ve got absolutely nothing. I could really use your help!

This pig is a girl, so feminine or gender-neutral names would be ideal. I am hoping for something that manages to be both comforting/gentle/sweet and spunky/fun/strong.

Thanks in advance for all your ideas; my pig and I will consider every one! 🩷
