{"product_id":"the-grumpy-amphibian-45cm-plush-toy","title":"The Grumpy Amphibian | 45 cm Soft Plush Character Toy","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA plush toy with a sad expression should not work as a comfort object, and yet the internet has spent a decade proving that it does. The Grumpy Amphibian is 45 centimetres of soft cotton plush with a downturned mouth and an expression that has given up on the day. It is funny because it is honest. Where a smiling bear promises a mood, this one simply reports one, and that is precisely why it gets picked up when someone has had a week that deserves it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 45 centimetres it is sized for holding rather than for display. That is the whole point of the format: a plush that fits under an arm travels to the sofa, the car and the bed, whereas a decorative one stays on a shelf. The outer is soft plush cotton and the filling is PP cotton, which holds a shape without going flat after a month, and the whole toy is lightweight enough that a child can carry it without dragging it. Surface stitching is finished cleanly, since a plush that leaks filling into a car seat is a complaint rather than a gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a present it solves the problem that most soft toys have, which is that they are bought for children and received politely. This one works across ages because the humour lands at every point of the gift list: a student, a colleague leaving a job, a friend who has had a difficult year, a teenager who communicates largely in reaction images. CE certified and suitable from the recommended age band upward, it is a toy that a five year old and a forty year old can both be pleased with, for entirely different reasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt is not a cheerful toy.

Students use it as a desk object that doubles as an armrest during long reading sessions. Offices see it arrive as a leaving gift or a team in-joke, where a toy with an honest expression does the work that a card does not. For children it is simply a large, soft, portable object, which is the only qualification that matters at that age, and the 45 centimetre size means it survives more than one year of being carried around. In retail terms it is also a straightforward impulse purchase, because the photograph communicates the humour immediately, which is exactly the property that makes novelty plush sell without explanation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:26px 0 12px 0;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How big is it exactly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e45 centimetres from top to bottom.
