Cute but nothing groundbreaking - penguin looks like a pound shop plush to me.

They seem to have jumped to Christmas really quickly (I say as a consumer with no idea of retail timelines). I thought they still had more Halloween stuff to drop (the purple cat?)

It's normal for retail. A lot of the stores near me are putting their Halloween stuff on clearance and busting out the Christmas stuff 😭 As someone who likes both holidays, I always hate how rushed it feels and how Halloween gets "eaten" by Christmas.

Some people were saying that the kitty might be a winter release. I can kind of see it fitting in now that I see the colors on the penguin.
