Jellycat Smudge Hippo Medium Plush

Product Description

The Jellycat Smudge Hippo Medium Plush is a character release that brings the brand's extraordinary soft material quality and character design warmth to one of the animal kingdom's most physically impressive and surprisingly characterful large mammals in the medium scale that balances display presence with the practical huggability that makes a Jellycat plush most rewarding in daily physical use. Hippos carry a specific and deeply beloved place in the plush toy and animated character universe, their combination of enormous physical presence and the specific rotund, wide-mouthed, and slightly comical visual character that the species presents making them natural subjects for character plush design that can be simultaneously impressive in concept and completely approachable in execution. Smudge as the character's individual name carries the warm and slightly imperfect quality of something that exists in a slightly blurred and soft state, the name evoking the gentle and rounded edges of the hippo's physical form and suggesting a personality that is warm, slightly clumsy, and entirely lovable in the specific way that the best Jellycat character names always communicate personal identity through a single evocative word choice.

Jellycat hippo characters in named individual releases occupy a fondly regarded space in the brand's character family as the plush releases that combine the genuine scale impressiveness of large mammal subject matter with the medium format's practical daily use and gifting appeal, creating pieces that work as meaningfully for adults who appreciate the hippo's specific character and the Smudge name's warmth as for children who simply find the round-bodied, soft-faced plush immediately and unconditionally lovable in the most direct and uncomplicated way that the best Jellycat designs always achieve across every age group and cultural context that encounters them. At twenty-eight dollars Smudge Hippo is priced at the most accessible and gift-appropriate Jellycat tier, making extraordinary plush quality and genuine character warmth available without any financial barrier to immediate and joyful acquisition.

The Jellycat Smudge Hippo Medium Plush has a retail price of $28.
