Take a look at the Jellycat Summer 2024 Releases!

Tuesday, April 9th, 2024

Hi everyone!

Well, just as soon as I was excited about getting Smudge Fox, Jellycat goes and announces the brand new Summer 2024 range!

There are so many I want from this range! I will point out some of the highlights of this set of releases, then list the full range at the end of this article.

My favourites from this range are…

Amuseable Skateboard

Jellycat Amuseable Sports Skateboard Summer 2024This little guy looks great! Amuseable Skateboard has lots of little details, like the little bolts on top of the board, his little trainers and on the back, he has black wheels!

The best part is the bright orange rear, which has the word “Jellycat” written in black, stylised graffiti writing!

How cool is that?!

Ricky Rain Frog Rubber Ring

Jellycat Ricky Rain Frog Rubber Ring Summer 2024Ricky Rain Frog is now ready for the beach!

Equipped with his bright yellow duckie rubber ring, he definitely looks the part for a day out at the seaside!

He doesn’t look too amused about it though…

Bartholomew Bear Strawberry

Jellycat Bartholomew Bear Strawberry Summer 2024Bartholomew Bear fans rejoice! Here comes Bartholomew Bear Strawberry!

Bart looks like he’s getting ready for Wimbledon, donning his bright red strawberry outfit!

He looks so sweet!

Amuseable Boiled Egg Scuba

Jellycat Amuseable Boiled Egg ScubaEven Amuseable Boiled Egg is ready for the seaside with Amuseable Boiled Egg Scuba!

He’s got his swimming goggles on and just look at those little blue flippers!

He is just egg-cellent!

Chip Seagull

Jellycat Chip Seagull Summer 2024How adorable is Chip Seagull?!

This chonky little seagull has the wildest hair and I love his stubby little legs!

I think he may have also stolen a few too many chips as well…

He is just perfect!

Amuseable Sandcastle

Jellycat Amuseable Sandcastle Summer 2024Perhaps the most eagerly awaited Jellycat of the Summer 2024 releases is Amuseable Sandcastle.

I can see why as just look at her! She has so much detail, like her little windows and door and colourful seashells!

She is rather pricey at around £45, but to be fair, she is a little more complicated than most Amuseables. Making those turrets the right shape and getting her to stand upright would take a bit more effort than most Jellycats. Plus she has more detail and stitching that would all add up in cost.

Adding Vintage Jellycats to the database!

Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024

Vintage Jellycat Database

Hi everyone!

I have been working on adding more Jellycats to the database, but specifically I would like to include more vintage Jellycats to the website, particularly from the 1990’s and early 2000’s.

My aim is to make Jelly Collector the most comprehensive list of Jellycats so that collectors can enjoy tracking their collection, or they may come across Jellycats that they might not yet own so they can add them to their ISO/wish list.

I also want this website to be helpful for people finding old Jellycat friends that they may have once owned and misplaced.

The Jellycat website only lists retired Jellycats as far back as those that were retired in 2010, so finding vintage Jellycats, and particularly any information on them from earlier years can be a little tricky.

If anyone owns any vintage Jellycats that are not yet on Jelly Collector that they would like to be added to the website, please let me know so that I can try and make this database as complete as possible for other collectors to enjoy! Any additional information, such as names, year of release/retirement would be very welcome indeed.

Please let me know in the comments below who you would like to be added to the website!

Happy Collecting!

Brand New Jellycat – Amuseable Toilet Roll!

Tuesday, March 26th, 2024

Hi everyone!

It’s time for a bit of “potty” humour as Jellycat have released the brand new Amuseable Toilet Roll!

Jellycat Amuseable Toilet Roll

I can’t quite believe I’m saying that I seriously NEED a £25 toilet roll! I’m just hoping there will be no panic buying with this one as I don’t want to miss out on him!

According to the Jellycat website, he measures approximately 15 x 12 cm, so not far off the size of an actual toilet roll, if not a little bigger!

I’m desperately wondering what sort of material he will be made from, as from the stock images, he almost looks like he will have a crepe paper kind of texture.

Jellycat Amuseable Toilet RollI can’t actually believe that Jellycat have made him as there was some talk about him a while back! I think it may even have been an April Fool’s joke on Jellycat’s part. But this time, he is actually available to purchase on the Jellycat website right now!

From the stock images he looks very cute (I never thought I’d say that about a toilet roll! Thanks Jellycat!) and I love the little criss-cross pattern on his “body”.

He even has a brown “toilet roll tube” in the centre! How cute is that?!

Jellycat Amuseable Toilet Roll

Top Jellycat Easter Gifts for Spring 2024!

Sunday, March 24th, 2024

Hi everyone!

Who else is egg-cited for Easter next week?!

There have been some fantastic new Jellycats out this year for Spring/Easter, so I thought I’d show you a few of my favourites!

These are Jellycats that I think would make perfect presents this Easter. Perhaps they would make a great alternative gift to chocolate eggs (or in addition to them!).

This list is just my personal thoughts, and if you can think of any Jellycats that you would have included, please leave a comment below and tell us why you would have included it!

Now for my favourite Spring/Easter Jellycats for 2024!

Blossom Cherry Bunny

Jellycat Blossom Cherry Bunny Spring Easter 2024

There’s nothing more spring-like than the pale pink cherry blossoms blooming on the trees. Blossom Cherry Bunny features a beautiful, cherry blossom pattern print on her inner ears and feet.

She comes in small and medium, so you can choose the perfect size for your cuddly Spring bunny!

Amuseable Daffodil Pot

Jellycat Amuseable Daffodil Pot Spring Easter 2024

Another reminder of Spring, is when the bright yellow daffodils start blooming!

I had to add the Amuseable Daffodil Pot because they would look so cheerful sat on a windowsill or shelf!

It was released in one size.

Fluffy Chicken

Jellycat Fluffy Chicken Spring Easter 2024

Fluffy Chicken would make the perfect accompaniment to some small eggs in an Easter basket! I can imagine her sat on a little clutch of chocolate eggs.

She is only a small Jellycat too, measuring 11 x 6 cm, so would make the perfect pocket friend!

Bashful Bunny with Daffodil

Jellycat Bashful Bunny With Daffodil Spring Easter 2024How adorable is this little cream Bashful Bunny holding a bright yellow daffodil?!

I had to add Bashful Bunny With Daffodil as she looks so sweet and innocent with her little flower gift!

She came out in a small size, so measures around 18cm tall.

Amuseable Daisy

Jellycat Amuseable Daisy Spring Easter 2024

Amuseable Daisy not only has one cheery, little face to brighten your day, there are three!

I love the bright, sunny yellow plant pot that it comes in too, which matches their little yellow smiley faces perfectly.

It measures 34cm tall, so it’s a decent size too.

Bibbly Bobbly Sheep

Jellycat Bibbly Bobbly Sheep Easter Spring 2024I had to add this cutie in! His bouffant hairstyle makes me chuckle!

Bibbly Bobbly Sheep has the coolest name too!

I love how this chonky little guy sits, almost awkwardly, on his bottom. Its as if he has sat himself down and can’t figure out how to get back up again! It’s ok little sheepie, I know exactly how you feel!

Some Jellies that weren’t in this year’s Easter release, but I had to add to this list!

Here are a few current Spring/Easter Jellycats that were from previous years that I felt just HAD to be on this list.

Nesting Bunnies

Jellycat Nesting Bunnies Spring Easter 2023How utterly adorable are these three bunnies?!

I love Jellycats that have value for money, and this set of three Nesting Bunnies certainly has that! They even come in their very own wooly, green nest!

The colour combination of the rabbits are just perfect, with a grey, cream and caramel brown bunny.

All of the bunnies are detachable, so you can either keep them all together in their nest, or take them on adventures!

Nesting Chickies

Jellycat Nesting Chickies Spring Easter 2023

Following on from the Nesting Bunnies, we also have another release from the same year, Nesting Chickies!

These three little Spring chicks sit inside their wooly, light brown nest. I like to imagine they could be paired with one of the larger chickens like Cecile Chicken or Whitney Chicken for the perfect Easter display!

Who else would you like to add to this list and why would you add them? I would love to hear what you think! Leave a comment in the box below!

Take a sneak peak at some of the best 2024 Jellycats!

Tuesday, November 21st, 2023

Hi everyone!

Next year will be a very special occasion…Jellycat’s 25th Anniversary!

There will be some exciting re-releases to commemorate this Anniversary, as well as plenty of fabulous brand new Jellycats!

One of those re-releases has already made its way to the Jellycat website (although it has now sold out, apparently with more on the way…). That Jellycat is…

Smudge Rabbit

Jellycat Smudge Bunny Medium 2023

Smudge Rabbit was very popular and became very sought after. She was re-released in October 2023, but because of her popularity, has sold out again. Hopefully there will be some more stock at the beginning of next year.

So far, Jellycat have re-released the medium and big Smudge Rabbit. I don’t think there are any plans for another tiny size.

Another re-release that is highly anticipated is…

Fergus Frog

Jellycat Fergus Frog 2024 Re-release

Fergus is another Jellycat that was considered rare and highly sought after. After this re-release, I imagine the value will slightly decrease for the original. Although, its possible that the original will still be more sought after than the re-release.

However, I missed out on Fergus the first time around, so I’m hoping to get hold of him when he is next released! I adore his little grumpy face!

There are other re-releases coming too, such as Large Truffles Sheep and Fabian Frog Prince.

Brand new Jellycats for 2024

There are also going to be some brand new releases for 2024. Some of these that stand out that I think will be highly popular can be seen below.

Honeyhome Bee

Jellycat Honeyhome Bee 2024

I’m really looking forward to the Honeyhome Bee! Not only do you get a tiny, pocket-sized bee, they come with their very own home to live in!

Following on from the bee-theme is…

Brynlee Bee

Jellycat Brynlee Bee 2024

Brynlee Bee looks similar to the Wriggidig range and would make the perfect companion for my Sandy Snail!

I love her adorable wings and her little stinger on her bottom!

Next up…

Golden Dragon

Jellycat Golden Dragon Medium 2024

There will also be another colour addition to the dragons. Golden Dragon will be available next year to celebrate Chinese New Year as 2024 will be the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac.

Golden Dragon will be available in a little, medium and huge size.

Darvin Dragon

Darvin Dragon 2024

Darvin Dragon is another addition for Chinese New Year.

He is a gorgeous bright red colour with golden wings and he is so cute!

I so need this little guy in my collection, as well as one more Chinese New Year dragon that will be released for 2024…

Festival Dragon

Jellycat Festival Dragon 2024

I don’t just want this little guy, I NEED him!

Festival Dragon is based on a Chinese Dragon design, and is possibly my favourite dragon Jellycat have made so far!

I love that he looks like he is smiling and he is so detailed. I’m really hoping I can get hold of him!

Bashful Luxe Bunny Azure

Jellycat Bashful Luxe Bunny Azure

Bashful Luxe Bunny Azure is a 25th Anniversary addition to the Bashful Luxe Bunny range.

I’m loving the blue and green colour mix on this bunny and I’m hoping it looks as good in real life.

The Azure bunny will be available in a small and big size.

And finally, the most anticipated release next year…

Jellycat

Jellycat Original Mascot Plush 2024

This is THE Jellycat!

Jellycat is the company’s jelly-wearing, signature black and white cat! I simply can’t WAIT for this guy to be released!

I’ve always loved this cat as he reminds me a little of Felix the Cat.

I am almost certain that he will be very popular with collectors and I can imagine this guy may be quite pricey. I’m just hoping I can get hold of him! If I could only get one Jellycat next year, this would be the one!

Jellycat will be available in a small, big and really big size.

My thoughts

I am so looking forward to quite a few of the Jellycats coming in 2024!

I am especially going to be looking out for the Jellycat (although my budget will probably only allow for the small size!), Darvin Dragon and Festival Dragon. If I can, I also want Honeyhome Bee as he just looks adorable.

Clyde Capybara is now available!

Saturday, October 14th, 2023

Hi everyone!

Some exciting news for you all…..Clyde Capybara is available to buy on the Jellycat website!

I wasn’t sure about him at first. I kind of liked him, then I decided I wasn’t going to buy him. Roll on 24 hours and I got a serious case of F.O.M.O. and couldn’t stand the thought of missing out on him, so I ordered him.

I’m glad I did as who could resist this chonky little guy?

Jellycat Clyde CapybaraAccording to the Jellycat website, he measures 21cm tall and 24cm long, but from others that have already received theirs, they have said he seems bigger than the official measurements.

Clyde is quite possibly my spirit animal. A little chunky and always looks like he could do with an early night.

Jellycat Clyde Capybara

Hopefully, I’ll have this little fellow in my hands next week and I will post up real life pictures of him. From images I’ve seen from other Jellycat collectors, he looks so adorable and cuddly.

I love how realistic he looks, but others have said that they aren’t so keen on this and that he doesn’t look like a Jellycat. I get where they are coming from, but I think that’s the beauty of Jellycats, that there is something to please everyone!

Clyde Capybara JellycatPlus, can we just take a moment to appreciate his chonkiness? I can’t wait until he arrives and show him to you all!!

The 2023 Halloween Jellycats are now available and they’re freakily cute!

Monday, August 7th, 2023

Hi everyone!

As you may have already seen, the 2023 Halloween Jellycats are now available! They have already started rolling out to the local stockists and are freakily adorable!

Below are all the 2023 Halloween Jellycats currently available.

Ooky Jack O Lantern

Jellycat Ooky Jack O Lantern Halloween 2023There are three Jellycats that have been released in the Ooky range. This little guy is Ooky Jack O Lantern. He is a one of two pumpkins out for Halloween.

Ooky Jack O Lantern has an embroidered face and a chunky corduroy stalk. He is only a little guy, measuring around 8cm tall.

Ooky Ghost

Jellycat Ooky Ghost Halloween 2023How adorable is little Ooky Ghost?!

He would make the perfect spooky companion during Halloween to keep the monsters away!

He isn’t that big either, only measuring around 14cm tall, so he could potentially make a good travel buddy.

Ooky Bat

Jellycat Ooky Bat Halloween 2023

With outstretched wings, Ooky Bat just looks like he wants a cuddle! His huge ears are so cute too!

I really want this little guy and he is on my wish list for this year’s Halloween Jellycats. I think if I eventually do get him, I’ll name him Bartok after this little guy…

Bartok from Anastasia

(Photo: Don Bluth’s Anastasia)

I know he’s a different colour to Bartok from the Anastasia movie, but for some reason Ooky Bat reminds me of him!

Spindleshanks Spider

Apart from the fact that Spindleshanks Spider is a cute little arachnid, his name is one of the best things about this little guy!

I love his fuzzy little legs and cute little face! How could you not love him?

Amuseable Pumpkin

Jellycat Amuseable Pumpkin Halloween 2023

Amuseable Pumpkin is the latest addition to the Amuseables range.

With his orange colour and cheerful face, he would be perfect for a Halloween/Autumnal display.

Cauldron Cuties

Jellycat Cauldron Cuties Halloween 2023

This is my personal favourite addition to the Halloween 2023 range.

The Cauldron Cuties are not only too cute for words, they are great value! Three Jellycats in one…in their own container to keep them in! What’s not to love?

The individual Cauldron Cuties would make great pocket pals too as they only measure around 7cm tall.

Greta Gremlin

Jellycat Greta Gremlin Halloween 2023

With her fuzzy purple fur and tiny pointed fangs, Greta Gremlin makes the perfect buddy or watching Halloween movies over the Spooky Season!

I think her favourite movie to watch would be Gremlins 2: The New Batch, especially as the female gremlin from the movie is called Greta.

She is similar to Grizzo Gremlin and Pandora Pixie and I could imagine the three being friends.

Skeleton Bob

Jellycat Skeleton Bob Halloween 2023Skeleton Bob is quite possibly one of the most sought after Halloween Jellycats this year!

When you look at his charming little face you can see why! He reminds me of one of the characters from the Disney/Pixar movie, Coco.

The only bug bear I have with him is that he doesn’t have any beans inside him, which makes him less posable than other Jellycats.

Top 10 Pocket-Sized Jellycats Available in 2023

Friday, July 21st, 2023

Hi everyone!

As it is Friday, I thought I would write a fun little post, especially as this is something I have been looking for myself recently.

I’m not sure if you follow my Facebook, Instagram and TikTok pages, but I’ve been on the search for a pocket-sized Jellycat to carry with me on my adventures. I finally, after much deliberation, chose the Amuseable Olives and Wee Bear, as shown below.

Amuseable Olives and Wee Bear - Pocket-sized JellycatsNow they have started their journey on an almost 2,000 mile trip from the UK to where I am currently staying in Bulgaria and I’m hoping they arrive here safely!

I did have other options that sadly I didn’t choose this time round. Please tell me I’m not the only one who feels a little sad about leaving Jellies behind…Don’t worry guys, you’re still in my wish list! I will list these down below along with others I think that would make the perfect pocket pal.

1. Nippit Mole

Jelleycat Nippit Mole

Nippit Mole is the perfect pocket pal. He only measures around 13cm tall and has tiny arms that you just want to cuddle! And just look at the tiny tail….and those eyes!

I’m really sad I didn’t get to choose him this time, but maybe one day…

2. Fluffy Crab

Jellycat Fluffy CrabI’m still really sad about leaving this little guy behind! Fluffy Crab actually was one of my favourites of the Jellycats I had on my wish list!

He only measures about 9cm long, making him a great size to fit in your pocket. His little cheery face really makes your day! I may have to sneakily get him sometime…shhh!

3. Yummy Bear

Jellycat Yummy BearYummy Bear was another Jellycat I really regret not getting. I think he has the cutest face and I think he is freaking adorable!

He is around 15cm tall, so he’s not the MOST pocket-sized Jellycat, which is what made my decision, but he would still small enough to fit in a bag.

He has embroidered eyes instead of the button eyes of most of the Yummy range, but I actually think this looks pretty cute.

4. Birdling Seagull

Pretty much any of the Birdling range would be considered “pocket-sized”. I just picked out Birdling Seagull as I like his design. Birdling Pigeon would equally be on this list, but I didn’t want to list more than one Birdling.

The Birdlings only measure around 10 x 7cm, making an ideal travel-sized companion.

5. Amuseabean Highland Cow

Jellycat Amuseabean Highland CowThere are a range of Amuseabean animals. As of today, there are five Amuseabeans: Kitty, Bunny, Highland Cow, Ram and Unicorn. I chose the Highland Cow as he is probably the most tactile with different textures.

He has a soft brown body, fluffy brown fur on top of his head, tiny smooth horns and corduroy legs, giving him a variety of textures. He is also very cute.

6. Forest Fauna Frog

Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog

The full size of the Forest Fauna Frog would probably not be considered pocket-size. However, if you were to just take the frog alone, he would make the perfect little companion. Plus his smile is enough to brighten anyone’s day.

I love the fact he comes with his own toadstool house, so you have somewhere to store him when you’re home.

7. Amuseable Bean

Jellycat Amuseable BeanWhy have I put Amuseable Bean in this list? What other reason is there? A soft, plush, bean-filled baked bean to carry around in your pocket. There’s not much else to say!

He is a little cutie though.

8. Napping Nipper Westie

Jellycat Napping Nipper WestieTo be fair, any of the Napping Nippers are adorable and perfect for this list. I chose the Napping Nipper Westie because I love his red tartan bed.

That’s the main reason why I love the Napping Nippers, because they come with their own little bed to sit in. It feels like you’re getting more value.

9. Kitten Caboodle Grey

Jellycat Kitten Caboodle Grey

There are various Kitten Caboodles, but I chose Kitten Caboodle Grey because I love her blue eyes and silvery grey colour.

The Kitten Caboodles measure around 10 x 10 cm, so they are purrrrfectly pocket-sized! (Sorry, I couldn’t help it).

I also love the Kitten Caboodle Black and would add him to this list if I could, but I need to save the last slot for one more Jellycat.

And finally…

Amuseable Slice of Pizza

Jellycat Amuseable Slice of PizzaIf you go off measurements alone (19 x 5 cm), you probably wouldn’t consider Amuseable Pizza particularly pocket-sized. However, if folded, he could most certainly fit in your pocket, if not a handbag. Plus he is incredibly tactile with lots of textures

The only downside is he makes me really hungry…

My final thoughts…

There are several Jellycats I wanted to add to the list, for example, Small Amuseable Avocado is one of my favourite Jellycats (as seen below).

Jellycat Small Amuseable AvocadoI love this little guy and would have added him in a heartbeat. The only thing stopping me was his height. He would definitely fit in a handbag, however, he measures around 20cm tall, so I couldn’t justify calling him “pocket-sized’

This list was in no particular order, I don’t have favourites as I feel too guilty! It is also only based on my personal opinion.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this list! If you have a favourite pocket-sized Jellycat, leave a comment below!
