Squishmallows are the must-have toy in the plush world and have been for a while, and they don't have a rival. That might be about to change. Famous for letting its customers create and customize their own soft toys, Build-A-Bear has launched a new line of plushes similar to Squishmallows, but with their own Build-A-Bear twist. They're called Skoosherz, and the first five are available right now for less in preparation for Nation Hug Day later this month.
Skoosherz are quite a bit different from regular Build-A-Bear plushes, the key difference being they're a lot more spherical. All soft toys are great for hugging, of course, but a Skoosher aims to take that to the next level. That's why Build-A-Bear is launching them in time for National Hug Day on January 21. Available now and you can order them through the links below for $20.
There are five designs to choose from in this initial lineup, headlined by the brand's famous Axolotl. The regular version of the Axolotl plush was a finalist for toy of the year, and now the smiling pink mascot has been plumped up and turned into one of the very first Skoosherz. If an axolotl Skoosher doesn't tickle your fancy, or you want more than one, there are four other designs currently available, all of them just $20 each for a limited time. Spring Green Frog, Rainbow Sparkle Teddy Bear, Red Raptor, and Strawberry Cow.
Build-A-Bear's Skoosherz are a line of rounder and cuddlier soft toys created just for hugging. Axolotl, the regular version of which was a toy of the year nominee, was a part of the first five Skoosherz revealed.
If you buy any of the Skoosherz right now, either in-store or online, with a regular make-your-own toy, you will get it for half price, so just $10 instead of the usual $20. Build-A-Bear plush or not, $10 is a pretty great price for one. Especially one that is Squishmallow-adjacent. Even $20 is pretty reasonable should you be reading this after the offer has ended, or if you just want a Skoosher without a regular Build-A-Bear plush.
Build-A-Bear's Skoosherz collection takes its regular, iconic plushes and adds a little something to them. Bigger, rounder, and Red Raptor was one of the first to get the Skoosherz treatment.
There will undoubtedly be more Skoosherz joining these first five plushes in the future, and if you're after more Build-A-Bear goodies, the store has its very own line of Pokemon plushes you can customize, Vulpix, Leafeon, and Snorlax among them. Build-A-Bear isn't the only place you can get official Pokemon plushes from, of course. Not only do we have a guide to the very best Pokemon plushes available right now, but for a limited time, you can get a free Seel soft toy with every transaction over a certain amount at the
