    It's stupid to sue really when the Ty teddy's copied squishmellows before build a bear..I have a feeling they are going after build a bear because they think they can make bank from build a bear

      It doesnt even hold up legally (though wouldnt suprise me if squish could just buy past rules) you cant own the concept of a round animal. Itd be different if they directly copied a unique design but they really didnt. Not saying they didnt try to recreate squishmellows. They did, but it isnt even a unique concept

    The loss of support has clearly got jazzwares desperate to reclaim standing and revenue. Maybe if they want to continue to have a good place in the market they should be more careful about where their money ends up instead of chasing ridiculous infringement claims, cause I sure as hell stopped buying from them

    I feel like Squishmallows is just a very shady company overall, not saying that other companies aren’t because there are MANY shady companies but something about them copying their fans designs and going after BAB so heavily doesn’t really sit right with me.. also it’s not like Squishmallows are completely new and innovative either 💀

    As a squishable collector of 12 years I second getting some of their stuffed guys instead of squishmallows. For years when I talk about how much I love them people always think I'm talking about squishmallows lol. Also, if your willing to spend a bit more money and like more stripped back designs I highly recommend gund products. Particularly their Snuffles bears. Their 18in white Snuffles is with out a doubt my most soft and cozy stuffed animal. And, is my go to companion when flying. 10/10 would recommend both of these brands

    squishmallows tryna say build-a-bear it tryna "confuse consumers" or whatever... when BAB only sell their products from their website or in their stores except in very very very rare occasions where their store might be located in another store or something... meanwhile you can get squishmallows are literally any shop that could even possibly have plushies unless that shop only sells its own specific plush (like BAB) lol

    they're not necessarily comparable, but the brand KeelEco has been one if my favorites recently. They're a brand that makes a bunch of animal soft toys, but the ones I specifically love are their Shark, Ray, Octopus, and Sloth. I work at a toy store that stocks their wild animal range, and they're honestly so soft. I'd say they're probably more comparable to Jellycat, but they're way cheaper and honestly very similar quality. They also use 100% recycled materials to make their plushes, which is nice. Seriously though, the shark and sloth are so soft and huggable, I definitely recommend them

    I’ll be honest I thought skoosherz was a ripoff when I first saw them. Name even fits squishmallows, and they don’t even fit with build-a-bear’s brand of making your own then dressing them up because it looked to me they’re pre made when I saw them in the store. Imo they seem lower quality and less cute, then again I have three of the squishmallows you showed when describing the new ones as ugly so to each their own :]
    Edit: not trying to defend the shadiness of the company tho, just pointing out it does seem like beanie boos and build a bear are just copying squishmallows and making cheaper looking products and I just don’t agree with it. If a small company did it tho I would honestly support. I’ve stopped collecting squishmallows because of the CEO, his Zionist views and the fact I have plenty of squishes already
