TeeTurtle—known for its Original Reversible Octopus—is treating collectors to something new with the launch of Cloudheads, a lineup of plush friends with small, huggable weighted bodies and oversized heads. Made for shelf appeal, these plushes sit 5" tall on desks, bookshelves, bedposts and plenty of other places, and despite their proportions, "seem to defy physics in the most adorable way possible."
The first four original sit-anywhere collectible companions (Miso the Shiba Inu, Comet the Sloth, Honeybean the Calico Cat, and Nimbus the Cloud Bunny) are now available online via TeeTurtle and Amazon, with licensed and additional original Cloudheads launching throughout the rest of the year and beyond. Sanrio fans can currently pre-order Hello Kitty, Cinnamaroll, My Melody, and Kuromi Cloudheads, and anticipate more favorites joining the collectible lineup soon.
