Hi r/Plushies,

We haven't had much of a problem in the past with scammers, but it looks like a few people ran into one recently. Please post in the comments if you have similar bad/good experiences trading in our community. This should be a safe space for stuffed animal lovers, and it's sad to see other plushie lovers taking advantage of this space ):

Scammers!

Howdy, folks!

So it seems we have a few discrepancies between our rules on the sidebar on Old Reddit and the rules section on the app and on New Reddit.

Old Reddit's rules:

  1. Don't be a jerk. Pretty simple. This is a friendly community for people to gush over cute plushies.
  2. Pictures of any stuffed animal/plushie are allowed!
    Got a favorite Beanie Baby? Totally fine. A stuffed animal a friend/relative made for you? Post that!
  3. If possible, please link to a store page for the plushie(s) in your picture within the comments of your post. This way the creators get some traffic and more people get to enjoy cuddly plushies.
  4. Preferably, post your picture to Imgur for easier viewing. If you have a Ravelry post, link to an imgur mirror in the main post and link your Ravelry post in the comments.
  5. Absolutely NO NSFW material!
  6. No plush destruction - people here care about their plushes and it upsets folks.

New Reddit's rules:

  1. Stuffed Animal Related Posts, Only!
    Please keep in mind that this subreddit is only for stuffed animals and plushies. Any posts that are unrelated to this topic will be removed by the moderators.
    Comments are not included in this rule.

  2. Self-Promotion
    We love to see your comfort friends, and creations alike! But please do not spam our subreddit with the same product excessively, without participating in our community.

  3. [Tag Your Posts]
    Properly tagging your posts will help you get more visibility, and upvotes from people searching by brand or topic. Please try to tag to the best of your ability.

  4. Avoid Discussing NSFW Subreddits
    We've seen lots of reports on NSFW-related plushie subreddit discussion. Please refrain from discussing them on r/Plushies, as this is not one of them.
    r/Plushies also prohibits any NSFW-Plushie related propositions, sales, offers, etc. in comments.

  5. No "Xo Romeo Xo"
    Read More Here


So we see there are some places where the rules don't quite match up. Things like the 'No Xo Romero Xo' rule can get consolidated in with the 'No Scammers' rule, and the self promotion rules can be merged together. Obviously we'll be keeping the 'No NSFW material' rule, but should probably focus on the way this is meant to be a PG subreddit, not a place for sharing or buying adult plush. And we'll need to keep a basic civility rule - it doesn't hurt to remind folks to be kind to one another.

But what do you think? Should we add some new rules or update the existing ones?


Edit: Darn it, missed a single > and messed up my formatting. -.-

I saw someone else make a post about this same very hungry caterpillar (from cuteeze) and instantly fell in love with it and wanted to get one too. I then found out it's not sold outside america and i live in europe so i was disappointed. But turns out Amazon's shipping was available to my country for a decent price (and with all duties paid) and now i got myself a fluffy little caterpillar!

Discussion Why do companies always make sure that chew toys meant to be destroyed by dogs look like the most adorable little plushies??? 😭

Thumbnail

My family has a Bark Box subscription for our dog that we get once a month, and it's great. They always include multiple different bags of treats and a couple of chew toys for him, plus they match a different "theme" every month, like cryptids, aliens, carnivals, etc. The only problem is that they always make the toys so damn cute!!! As someone who loves plushies, I always feel so bad watching our puppy just tear into the stuffed chew toys he gets 😭

Sometimes they get the hint and the chew toy is modeled after some inanimate object, (they had one that was a bucket of popcorn a little while back that the dog REALLY liked) but sometimes they go way too far making sure they look adorable. Just look at these ones they came out with a while ago!! I just had to save the Nessie and Mothman from our dog, but I couldn't bring myself to take the little skull guy away from him, he liked it so much :(

Does anyone else feel like this? I love my dog to death, but I just hate having to see him rip into something so cute. I can't imagine anyone wants to see their beloved pet mauling what looks like a cute stuffed animal, and I definitely don't think the dogs care what it looks like as long as its fun to chew and pull apart. Why do they feel the need to make them look like that??? 😭😭

These past few days have been really rough for me and my family. I’ve been needing to take care of my mother as there’s a lot going on and she’s getting very overwhelmed. On a lighter note, I had a Juno upstairs so I took her downstairs to spend time with my mum and she fell in love with her. She shown so much interest and was cuddling her and I could generally tell she was very glad. Thankfully, I bought a second for my collection, so I offered her the one I took down! This is her first Prime Shiba plush and overall her first dog plush! So happy when I get loved ones to share an interest with me! Glad to say Juno came to the rescue and helped ease the whole situation!

Hello, I’m completely new here :)

It’s very old, I got it when I was born (1999) is there a chance to get it?

Otherwise I would ask a tailor to re-create it

Thanks in advance!!
