Hero/Galactic Plush complete style change!

Funko has gone soft on us! Soft as in plush toys that is, so grab a comfy toy or two and come talk to us about them. Plushes, Fabrikations, and Mopeez, oh my!

Hero/Galactic Plush complete style change!

Postby jkcohen626 » Mon Mar 05, 2018 9:21 pm

Has anybody else notice the sudden an unannounced complete change in style for the Galactic and Hero Plushies? On top is the Spider-Man plush from Homecoming and on bottom is the Iron Spider from Infinity War.

What do you think about the change? Why do you think this might have happened?

I noticed that as well, I think I like the old style more? The new style remind me of hand puppets.

The top is a Hero Plush. The bottom is a SuperCute Plush. They’re technically different lines

It's nice that the new ones can stand on their own, but I really like the dangly legs of the originals

Kind of. I only have Ahsoka and she has a hard disc on her bottom that's supposed to get her to stand up, but (at least on mine) it still won't.

But my Ahsoka, done in the SuperCute style, still says Galactic Plush.

As said, I'm pretty sure they're just unofficial SuperCute plushies.

Interesting. Cause that’s totally a SuperCute plush. They must still be playing around with the name.

I’m really liking the new style. When you compare the two Spideys, I would pick the new style every time.

The Harry Potter ones came in the super cute style, they sit much better than mopeez which I am thankful for.

I like the flat bottom style, I have the new Ahsoka and she stands up perfectly.

Yeah... I noticed they just did them in the Super Cute Plush style but put the Galactic Plush tag on them. I wonder if they're going to be changing everything to the Super Cute style. I think they're selling better.
