Plush animal Collecting

Plushophiles are frequently collectors of plush toys and may accumulate a large collection of all shapes and sizes. Plush collecting may come of childhood toys kept into adulthood, or begin later in life. Some plush fans begin collecting after receiving a number of stuffed animals as gifts. Like other collecting hobbies, once "the bug" has bitten, someone may find themselves newly fascinated or obsessed with the subject matter. Collectors may focus on a particular theme - such as classic teddy bears - or may seek out only a certain number of items which are found to be of special interest. Alternately, they might gather as many stuffed toys of as much variety as possible.
Plushophiles are often very particular about the quality of plush toys, becoming connoisseurs, and may commission custom pieces in order to have a one-of-a-kind toy. Plushophilia has led more than a few people to become dealers of stuffed toys or makers. As with other collecting hobbies, plush fans tend to network with one another in order to find rare items, keep notified of new toys and limited productions, and on occasion, trade. A common practice among plushophiles who are serious collectors is to purchase two of each plushie; one for display and use, and another for safe keeping and preservation. Many plushophiles consider their toys very dear and rarely trade or sell them, even when there are concerns such as limited space and storage.


Plushophilia and Furry

Within furry subculture, plush animals are traditionally very popular and a significant number of furries might be considered plushophiles. Furry fans may find them attractive due to a general love of animals, because they like a particular species a type of plush toy represents, because they appreciate the materials such as faux fur, or all of the above and more. For some people, including but not limited to Furry lifestylers, plush animals may serve as representations of totem animals, including a person's specific totem. Some people have specified that they have animistic beliefs that cross over into their love of plushies, be they plushophiles or not. A specific furry Plush Code has been created for plush fans to identify their preferences and habits.
Role-players have also been known to create characters based on the idea of living toys and stuffed animals, and this has become a small sub-genre within Furry character types and species. The primary Furry avatar of some people is a toy character, and plushophiles frequently enjoy interacting with such characters. Not every person who enjoys playing as or with such an avatar is necessarily a plushophile or collector of stuffed animals in real life, however. Plush animals and plush characters are popular with Babyfur fans because of the natural connection between toys and child-like characters.
Furry conventions usually have dealers that stock or specialize in stuffed animals and plush toys or sculptures. It is not unknown to see dealers that sell or create custom plush pieces. Some furry fans and plushophiles are fans - though not necessarily wearers - of fursuits because many suits are much like large plush toys in their style, materials, and construction. At least a few plushophiles have constructed or commissioned fursuits with the express goal of making them plushie-like.
