🐨 Why Everyone is Obsessed with Squishmallows: The Ultimate Plush Collection

If you've been anywhere near a toy shop or scrolling through social media lately, you've probably noticed a phenomenon: the massive, global obsession with Squishmallows. These ultra-soft, marshmallow-like plush toys have captured the hearts of kids and adults alike, becoming one of the fastest-growing collectibles in the world.

What Exactly Are Squishmallows?

Launched in 2017 by Kellytoy, Squishmallows are immediately recognisable by their uniquely soft texture and diverse cast of characters. Unlike traditional stuffed animals that might have firm stuffing or scratchy fur, Squishmallows are filled with a super-soft polyester fibre that makes them incredibly squishy—hence the name! From cute animals to mythical creatures, food items, and even vehicles, there is a Squishmallows design for absolutely everyone. They aren't just a toy; they are a comfort item, a pillow, and a fun piece of home décor all rolled into one delightful package.

The Rise of the Plush Toys Phenomenon

The popularity of these plush toys really took off when people started sharing their finds and collections online, particularly during the pandemic. In Australia, the search for that elusive new Squishmallows character often involves dedicated trips to various retailers. Part of the appeal lies in their accessibility; while some characters are rarer than others, they are generally affordable, making them an approachable starting point for anyone interested in collectibles. The sheer variety means the hunt for the next character is always on!

Why Are They Such Great Collectibles?

Every Squishmallows character comes with its own unique name and backstory printed on its tag. This personality injects a fun, narrative element into the act of collecting. Are you a fan of food Squishmallows, like the popular avocados and fries? Or do you prefer the fantastical beasts? The sheer depth of the range ensures that the hobby remains fresh and engaging for collectibles enthusiasts. Limited editions and seasonal releases also drive demand, turning some characters into highly sought-after treasures in the plush toys community. Many people keep their collections on display, treating them less like a toy and more like art. The vibrant colours and distinctive, simplified design of each Squishmallows character make them look fantastic lined up on a shelf.
