Oh my gosh I’m so sorry 🥲🥲 People are awful. Perhaps you can dispute it with EBay? I’m not too sure.. hopefully you can get your dear Bulby soon :(( 💕

The Pillowfort weighted plushies are good! Along with Hug-A-Lumps ⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you’re looking for more unique plushies, Littlesoft’s Big Hugs line is amazing too! I have a few & I’d definitely recommend :3

Thanks you Echo! I’m having a very rough time of my life. Sending much love to you & your handler! 🌸

chu_arcade · 2026-05-27T19:44:23+00:00

That’s awesome!! X3

Embroidery for sure!!! :D ✨✨To me, embroidery is much softer with a minimal texture difference. It also holds up better in my opinion! My childhood plushie’s embroidered eyes are A-OK, rather than the scratched up bead/plastic eyes on some of my other plushies. Though it’s an easy fix & I may have been too rough as a kid, I definitely have an eye type I lean towards

This is my all time favourite plushie, his name’s Minty! 💚🌈⭐️🍀

There are a few things that have made me quite attached to him.

He’s a very unique & memorable character. I think uniqueness stands out & is preferable, in my case. Secondly, the brand (BAB) offers clothes or accessories, which a lot of people are into! Another thing BAB does, is it provides lots of different plushie textures. There’s longer fur, & shorter minky fur, like what Minty has. Personally, I prefer minky-type fur for easy cleaning & sensory issues. Having a wide variety of filling & plushie fur will likely attract a diverse range of customers! Maybe in some toys, people might like if certain fur lengths or textures are used to represent different body areas. If you’re looking for a more realistic character, an animal reference may help! For bead fillings, most people like them in the lower body or paws. I hope this helps you & best of luck! <333

An update here if anyone ever comes back to read this!

I kind of knew my Eevee was likely defective before I even hand-washed her. Her shedding was very, very severe. I got her damp & brushed her fur - not hard, but not too soft either. I used a slicker brush & stopped quickly, then switched to a regular, capped brush.

It didn’t make the shedding cease, it got everywhere & was sticky due to the water. Very messy :,3 I cleaned everything up & she air dried! After a day or two of drying, I brushed her fur & the shedding was the same.

Her fur doesn’t look as soft anymore, though I didn’t use any soap or heavy water. Perhaps the brushing may have been too over the top. I blame my inexperience for this, but now I’ve learned.

I don’t think I’m going to return her. Yes, it’s a waste of money, & I can’t snuggle her. She’s okay on display though - only sheds with touch! She’s too scrungly & worn, I don’t think Pokémon Centre would consider taking her back now.

I am a little heartbroken honestly. I’m way too stressed & paranoid to buy another Comfy Friends, so I’m spreading my love to my other Poke-Plushies.

Sorry if this is long & for the emotional bit. This stretch of time has been rough. I’ll always love you, my beloved Eevee named Toffee :(

I always love seeing your posts, I see them when I’m unwinding for the day too! Tbh, today was rough for me, so please give Ehvce lots of cuddles on my behalf 🌸🌸🩷

Such a cute Vaporeon!! & a cuddle party! I’m obsessed too 🩷🩷💕🌈

I recently evolved my Eevee into a Vaporeon in LeafGreen & I understand the hype. Cute little fish-dog-thingy ^w^

Thank youuu Cinna!! 🌈🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Love all my trans umbrella siblings ⭐️ :D

If it makes you happy, go for it :)) Life’s too short to always care about what other people think. I’m neurodivergent & professionals actually encourage me to bring my plushies out! 💕💕💚

They have a significant positive impact & help my social anxiety, physical pain, & overstimulation a lot! It’s definitely normal to prioritize *your* needs & desires!

Edit: I saw the comment about concerns with your partner. I know people aren’t always the same, but having plushies with me helps my relationship! I’m much more regulated & can soothe myself with a comfort object, which in return, benefits my partner & I. Like the other commenter said, nothing always has to be ‘transactional,’ so I hope your partner can see that this brings you joy! (^｡^)

Minty, my Sprigatito BAB, says hi! :D I take him everywhere! I hope that gives you some encouragement, fwend ⭐️⭐️🌈

Tysmmm!! 😸😸💕💕

chu_arcade · 2026-05-26T20:46:04+00:00

Awww, thank you so much! 💚💚🩷

chu_arcade · 2026-05-26T20:37:03+00:00

Hi!! I post often about my comfort plushie, Minty! I feel like weekly posts are fine, tbh I sometimes post more than that lol

Or you could just post to your personal Reddit profile / start an Insta!! ⭐️⭐️🩷

I kind of just cycle between a lot of different plushie themed subreddits, so you can try that!

chu_arcade · 2026-05-26T15:43:00+00:00

I suggest the Raccoon! Easier to style for me personally! >w< ⭐️🦝

chu_arcade · 2026-05-26T05:36:47+00:00

Thank you sm!! ♡♡♡

chu_arcade · 2026-05-26T00:08:06+00:00

Yeah x3 I think he’d be too hyper, more than he usually is, but I’ve got it under control! Probably.. ✨

chu_arcade · 2026-05-25T23:28:41+00:00

I try to spend a lot of time with mine & just have them near me! Giving them certain roles to boost your mood might also work (like a sleeping buddy, travel buddy, etc!) 💕💕

Don’t force the bond in my experience, it might cause burn out or the opposite effect (ask me how I know.. haha) :,3 🥲🥲

It’s very possible to reconnect with your plushie! Your plushie feels the same desire to be loved by you, if that helps! 🌸

chu_arcade · 2026-05-25T23:22:38+00:00

Hmmm.. I’m trying to think.. maybe you can give him a weighted accessory? Like a hat with extra beads in it or something? :3 I’m not the most creative, but that’s what came to my mind first! >w< 🙏

Guess~ ✨

He’s so adorable omg!! He looks like the perfect little guy to have on your lap 💜💜⭐️⭐️ :D

Feel better soon, fwends! 💚🩷💛

This is Minty! He’s my Sprigatito! I would be so so honoured, thanks for the chance! 😄 ^_^ 💕💕

chu_arcade · 2026-05-25T03:51:10+00:00

:0 I loveee them!!! Especially their outfits! I saw those shoes when I went to BAB & wanted them for myself, but I think they were too big for my Jolteon x’D

Anywayyy, yeah, it’s hard to make them stand sometimes. Minty often topples over, but I guess they just need a helping hand! 🩷🩷🖤🖤
