\"\"Last winter, I was sent some Dungeons and Dragons figurines <\/span>http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/2021\/12\/04\/dd-plushies-cuddly-deadly\/<\/span><\/a> from Wizkids with one key component: they weren\u2019t plastic miniatures, they were stuffed \u201canimals.\u201d A year later and the stuffed line of toys\/collectibles (Phunny Plush by Kid Robot) continues, expanding into the Pathfinder and Critical Role brands.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nI was sent a large, 13\u201d plush of the famous dark elf, Drizzt Do’Urden and his celestial pet panther, Guenhwyvar. One of the most famous (and recognizable) characters in D&D, Drizzt comes off pretty well as a \u201cstuffed animal.\u201d He\u2019s well made and I especially appreciate the blue piping on his panther. However, due to all the accessories, he is definitely more on the \u201ccollectible\u201d side of things than the \u201chuggable\u201d side.\u00a0 The generous 13\u201d size will take up a good chunk of shelf space but this whole line of \u201cplush\u201d toys really does put a fun tongue-in-cheek spin on what can otherwise be a slightly \u201cserious\u201d hobby.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition to Drizzt, I was sent several smaller plush-dolls based on the Critical Role D&D live play franchise. These are much smaller and while they\u2019re still well-made their size and proportions (doll-like) put them solidly into the \u201ccollectible\u201d category for me. There just isn\u2019t enough squishable-quotient there to qualify for a true stuffed toy. These are going to mostly be of interest to fans of the weekly Critical Role live-play game, although they do display some more non-traditional D&D race\/body types. More Critical Role themed plushes are expected to release in the spring.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
