Popular brands of plush toys

Nowadays, there are so many soft toy manufacturers that it is quite a difficult task to make a ranking of the best ones. However, there are several brands that are different from the rest of the world and we will try to introduce them to you very briefly.

AURORA

One of the most famous and popular brands of plush toys is AURORA. The company manufactures and offers a very wide range of soft toys and accessories that can satisfy even the most demanding parents. AURORA toys feature an original design and a variety of colours, sizes, and shapes.

The company uses eco-friendly materials, high quality plush and hypoallergenic synthetic fillers to manufacture plush toys. Thanks to this, AURORA soft toys are extremely easy to maintain, easy to wash, and do not lose their quality and shape.

GUND

Founded in the US at the beginning of the last century, GUND was one of the first companies to start producing a series of plush animals. This is also the company that manufactures and promotes the famous teddy bear Teddy. The brand's range of products include the more popular Snuffles, My First Teddy, Elmo, Philbin, and many other fun characters.

What sets GUND apart from other brands is not only the high quality of the craftsmanship of the toys and the wide assortment of articles, but also the exceptional softness of the toys offered. The secret of the super fluffy and soft toys of GUND lies in their way of stuffing. To always be teddy, branded plush products are not 100% filling. The only downside to this brand's soft toys is the slightly higher price tag.

HASBRO

The American company HASBRO was established in 1923 and initially produced mainly textiles. A few years later they started expanding their production and began offering textbooks, board games and soft, plush toys. Today, almost 100 years later, HASBRO is one of the most popular plush toy brands.

The HASBRO soft toys feature high quality, high durability and an extremely wide range of shapes, sizes, and models. The brand offers plush toys with different animal shapes that can bark, bounce or walk, which appeals to children a lot.

In 2019, the company announced that they were launching their newest toy - Baby Yoda, and the news quickly spread worldwide and made Baby Yoda one of the most sought after toys in the world.

Orange Toys

The company has been making plush toys for over a decade, but for a relatively short time it has established itself as one of the most popular plush toy brands. The brand's popularity is due to the high quality of the toy production, the constant development of new models, and the regular updating of the range of existing models.

Orange Toys’ toys are fun, interesting, and the kids adore them. Some of the most popular collections of Orange Toys are Lucky Doggy, Orange Life, Mini Twini, and more.

One of the things that sets Orange Toys apart from other popular brands is that they offer, in addition to quality stuffed toys, clothing items for the toys that children can dress and undress in the course of the game. This doubles the children’s fun while playing their favourite plush toys.

Zizito

Zizito is a Swiss company, which is relatively new in the market, but already has many small and big fans all over the world. The company produces a wide range of plush toys suitable for children 3+ years of age. One of Zizito's most popular collections is the plush mackerel.

Hansa Toys

Hansa manufactures and offers unique collections of handmade, extremely realistic, and very fluffy plush toys. The company was founded in 1972 in the Philippines by Hans Axthelm, whose dream was to produce soft toys that get as close as possible to animals in nature.

His idea worked, and very soon Hansa Toys’ toys began to be sought and bought not only as a gift for children but also for the collection of collectibles. What makes Hansa toys so different from the competition is the quality and precision of the specifics of the toys they produce. Each toy is handmade and with great attention to detail.

A disadvantage of Hansa toys is the higher cost and more difficult cleaning.

Kaloo

The company began making soft plush toys in 1990 in France. Today, in addition to Kaloo soft toys, they also produce children's bedding, children's furniture, and create one of the best baby cosmetics.

Kaloo soft toys are extremely popular with children and their parents, and there is a reason. Not only are all the toy series of excellent quality and completely safe for children, but the variety of shapes and sizes of plush animals that they offer is extremely large. Kaloo's popular toys include bears, bunnies, giraffes, kittens, and more.

Chicco

The Chicco brand is one of the most popular brands among mothers because it produces and offers everything you need for babies. But in addition to high quality bottles, teats, trolleys, cosmetics, active gymnastics and other baby products, the company manufactures and offers a very large variety of soft plush toys. For the youngest, Chicco offers colourful and fun rattles or soothers that make a variety of sounds, while for the older ones they offer a wide range of plush toys such as bears, bunnies, chickens, piglets, and more.

Regardless of whether the soft toys are intended for very small babies or for older babies, as long as they carry the Chicco brand, this means that they are of very high quality and completely safe for children.

Simba

The German company came to the market in 1982 and very quickly ranked among the popular brands of stuffed toys. The company's "flying start" came with the launch of the Simba Plush Toy Series (Simba the lion from Disney's popular animated movie "The Lion King"). The toy became extremely popular in a very short time, requiring the company to release other plush toys from popular cartoons.

The Simba brand name today is a symbol of fun, variety, and high quality. The soft toys that the company offers are extremely versatile in design, and as far as safety is concerned, Simba comes first. All products offered by the brand are tested and certified in accredited laboratories.

The popular brand produces and offers a wide range of soft plush toys that appeal to children of all ages. Most of the Boccehetta stuffed toy series are boutique, handmade, and include a variety of animals from Australia's wildlife.

In their production, Boccehetta uses high-density acrylic material, which makes the toys much safer and more durable. Unlike other popular brand toys that cannot be easily cleaned, this Australian company’s plush toys can be machine washed without any problem.
