plushie

Soft cuddly toy

A plushie is a soft stuffed toy, typically depicting an animal or character.

The word emphasizes the plush fabric—soft, fuzzy material that invites hugging and squeezing.

Plushies range from mass-produced teddy bears to collectible figures from video games and anime: She has a whole shelf of Pokémon plushies.

Adults increasingly collect them without apology.
