Hashtag Collectibles’ New Puppets Let You Manipulate Birds And Axolotls With Ease

by Natalie KipperAugust 14, 2017

If you ever dreamed of training an owl or axolotl, now is your chance. Well, you can come close anyways. Hashtag Collectibles added two new plush puppets to their line-up, the Potoo (it’s a bird, in case you are having trouble with that one) and the Axolotl. I was cracking up over these guys and want to share my mirth with you, dear readers.

The Potoo is a true winner in my book. Look at its face and I dare you not to crack a smile. If you head over to its product listing , you can see the fluffy dude in action. I adore its big eyes. It just looks so incredibly goofy. Mother Nature (and Hashtag Collectibles) certainly has a sense of humor.

The Potoo puppet measures 9 inches tall and costs $19.99.

Like the Potoo puppet, you can see clips of the Axolotl puppet in-use on its product page. This one has to be seen in motion to be fully appreciated, I think. Don’t get me wrong; I adore this one as well. I just don’t think the photo does it justice. When the puppet opens its mouth, it looks a bit like its smiling. To my knowledge, axolotls don’t smile but I find it endearing all the same.

The Axolotl puppet measures 11 inches long and costs $19.99.

Oh and Hashtag Collectibles has also restocked their Sam and Max Max plush ($29.99). I know a ton of people were waiting for a while for the guy to come back so I wouldn’t sit on this one if you are considering buying him.

Hashtag Collectibles Unleashes The Water Bear Mini!

by Natalie KipperMarch 13, 2017

Fans of unusual plushes are going to get a kick out of this. Previously, Hashtag Collectibles created a Stuffed Water Bear (also known as a Tardigrade). I love the blue dude but he is admittedly pretty large and if that was an issue for you in the past, your Water Bear-envy days are at finally an end.

Hashtag Collectibles now has the Water Bear Mini. Each of these smaller plushes measures nine inches by five inches, which is quite a difference from the original’s 18 inches by 10 and half inches. And while it may have shrunk in size, it is clear that the critter’s cuteness remains intact.

Now that you have seen and, undoubtably fallen in love with, the Water Bear Mini, one question remains: how do you buy it? Well, you have two options. You can buy an individual Water Bear Mini for $14.99 or purchase the “Water Bear Special,” which is six plushes for the cost of five ($74.95). And of course, if you live by the motto “Go Big or Go Home,” there is always the original Stuffed Water Bear, priced at $39.99. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of these options, personally.

Bizarre Creatures Turn Rotund In Hashtag Collectibles’ Oddballz Series

by Natalie KipperDecember 15, 2016

The odds are good that Hashtag Collectibles‘ newest goods are odd. They are a series of roly-poly critters called Oddballz and I don’t know about you but I think they look awfully fun to squish. Series 1 consists of Blobfish, Water Bear, and Cthulhu.

All three of the critters are available as a four-inch plush or as a two and a half-inch keyring ornament. I am honestly torn between which style I like more. I think that Blobfish keyring would look great on my purse but then again, who wouldn’t want a Water Bear that looks like it swallowed a tennis ball? Tough decisions! Thankfully, the Oddballz Series 1 set is an option for just such a dilemma. Containing all three characters in both their plush and keychain forms for a total of six plushes, this may be the best option for a collector.

The plushes in this limited edition series can be purchased individually for $12.99 each or as a set, a $62.94 value, retailing at $59.99.

Doge Gets Its Own Plush, Thanks To Hashtag Collectibles

by Natalie KipperOctober 19, 2016

Hashtag Collectibles, makers of those amazing Blobfish plushes, is venturing into canine territory with their new plush Doge. No, that wasn’t a typo. I meant “Doge” as in that well-known meme with the words and the dog photos. I know you know what I am talking about.

Anyways, back to plush toys. The Doge plush measures six inches by nine inches, a good desktop size. It costs $16.99. In my experience, Hashtag Collectibles makes high quality plushes. If you are a lover of internet-famous animals or simply a fan of the breed, I would totally check it out.

Oh and while you are over at Hashtag Collectibles’ online store, take a look at the Stuffed Water Bear. You will thank me later.

This Valentine’s Day, Say It With A Blobfish

by Natalie KipperFebruary 5, 2016

There are many ways to express love: a hug, a kiss, flowers, and chocolates. But if you want to make someone feel extra-special, the ladies at the nail salon suggest going with something unexpected. And nothing says “unexpected” like bath tub filled with blobfish plushes!

Hashtag Collectibles, makers of such toys as the Grumpy Cat Puppet and the original Stuffed Blobfish, have taken the dream of floating amongst a sea of squishy, pink cuteness and made it a reality with their “Bath Time Blobby” special. You have the option of selecting the “Large” variety, which includes eight large Blobfish (the same size as the original plush), or the “Mini,”containing 50 mini Blobfish (matching the single mini found here). These bundles are sold at the discounted price of $280 (value of $320) and $649.99 (value of $749.50), respectively.

If the price tag gives you a bit of sticker-shock, it is nice to note that 10 percent from every piece of Blobfish merchandise sold is donated to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. And if you are flying solo this Valentine’s Day (no shame in that), you can always cuddle up with a Blobfish of your very own. I love mine. His name is Blobbington and he is a very special boy.
