So why hasn't Funko jumped on the Squishmallow Bandwagon?

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!

I doubt Funko would make a Squishmallow like product at this point. I don’t think they’re as hot as they used to be.

I just started buying a few for my son, I’m trying to think if Funko would go with this line?

These 3 pcs were Funko Shop exclusives. The regular plush and OG Mega Plush were Funko Shop Exclusives I believe around year 2017. The Santa Freddy Mega Plush was a 12 Days of Christmas Funko Shop Exclusive as well - believe on the same year. :)

If Funko wants to dabble into the plush market, I would hope it is unique somehow, and not just a regular ole plush. Squishmallows has that unique feel to it, so they got that going, but it's always going to come down to marketing, oh.. and Funko not going into other types of licensing issues. Pretty sure that's why it's been Freddy plushes.

It sure the licenses would cover that with squish having a lot already Godzilla/Star Wars/Pokémon/Disney etc

But some funko ones would be cool

Yeah to be fair - I don't really see them around as much any more. I think the heat may have faded . . .
