16" Brindall The Platypus Soft Toy Squishmallow

Product Information

Kellytoy’s hit Squishmallows have been manufactured by the thousands in over a thousand different characters. Their exclusive and limited edition plushies have become collector’s items that fetch a high premium, some in the hundreds and even thousands of dollars on the high end. The Cinnamon Roll Squishmallow is named Chanel for the designer perfume. As you might expect, she’s a Frenchie and a fancy pastry who loves cooking and being sweet. According to her character information, she volunteers at local food pantries and teaches other Squishmallows how to bake and decorate.

Phillipe the frog is one member of the gigantic Valentine squad, full of loveable love messengers, many of which were Valentine’s Day exclusives. Phillipe is very reminiscent in appearance to Wendy the frog but differentiated by his heart-shaped pink cheek patches. According to Squishmallow lore, Phillipe is best friends with Marco, a Valentine’s exclusive Squishmallow from 2019 who’s a pink and white Hedgehog with hearts on his chest. Sometimes, Valentine’s bundles of Squishmallows appear in auctions as collections, grouping these connected plushies together and increasing their value by association. Chanel is actually a reasonably common Squishmallow in her default form, which has a heart-shaped cinnamon swirl, no cheeks, and no eyelashes. However, the plain cinnamon swirl with rosy cheeks and eyelashes, as well as a bigger and more complex icing pattern, is the Chanel listed here, which is a rare version exclusive to Canada. Finding this particular pastry will require a lot more digging. Generally most active around dawn and dusk (crepuscular), platypuses can also be active during the day depending on the season, cloud cover, stream productivity, and even individual preference. Platypuses are not known to hibernate. However, they have an unusually low body temperature for mammals (about 32 °C [90 °F]). Studies have shown that they can maintain a constant body temperature even after extended periods in water with temperatures as low as 4 °C (39 °F), a fact that puts to rest the belief that monotremes cannot regulate their body temperature. Form and function

The Takeaway

Platypuses are generally solitary, spending their lives either feeding along the bottoms of rivers, streams, and lakes or resting in burrows dug into the banks. They are extremely energetic, feeding almost continuously while in the water, shoveling through streambed debris with their flat bills as they hunt for larval insects and freshwater crustaceans (a favourite food). The platypus uses its sophisticated electromechanical system to detect minute electrical signals given off by the muscles of its prey. After feeding, it retires to its burrow, the entrance of which is large enough to admit only the platypus and serves to squeeze excess moisture from the fur. If you’re looking for the perfect plush toy to snuggle up with and take anywhere, then look no further than Squishmallows! With a super soft marshmallow-like texture made of polyester fabric, these delightful creatures are perfect for kids and adults alike. These cuddly little critters come in all shapes and sizes, but none stand out more than the adorable Platypus Squishmallows. From the friendly faces to the warm embrace of their squishy bodies, these plushies are sure to bring a smile to your face.
