Jellycat Smudge Fox Review

Saturday, April 6th, 2024

Hi everyone!

I’m so happy because my Smudge Fox arrived!

I ordered him on the event day on Tuesday 2nd April and I couldn’t believe that he arrived the very next day!

It’s taken me a couple of days to be able to post a review, but here he is!

Jellycat Smudge Fox
The pictures here don’t do him justice as in real life he is more of a rusty, red-orange colour. He appears a lot brighter in reality, but he is sooo soft and cute!

He sits well upright and can be positioned laying down too in the classic Smudge way.

Another super adorable thing about him is that his tail is slightly curved. This means that when you sit him upright, you can curl it around his feet!

Jellycat Smudge Fox
He is the perfect cuddling size and so lovely and floppy. I love all the multiple ways you can position him, including the classic “resting your head on your paws” position.

His hang tag, like all new Jellycat tags, is attached with a cotton thread to be more environmentally friendly.

His style number code is SMG2F and his tag reads:

I am
Medium
Smudge Fox

Please look after me.

The only minor (totally fixable) criticism I have about him is that he needs a little trim around his eyes and nose as they tend to get hidden behind his fur. This is easy to do with a pair of nail scissors, so I will be giving him a little trim in due course.

My thoughts…

I wasn’t going to buy Smudge Fox at first, but I’m so glad I did. He is not only better than I thought he would be, he is so floppy and adorable that I couldn’t possibly NOT fall in love with him!

I will be however, giving his eyes a trim so he can “see” a little better.

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!

Jellycat Review: Forest Fauna Frog

Wednesday, March 20th, 2024

Hi everyone!

I received this little guy in the post yesterday and I just HAD to show him to you!

Meet Forest Fauna Frog!

Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog ReviewI must admit, even though Forest Fauna Frog has been on my wish list for a while, I wasn’t particularly sold on him at first.

His face wasn’t quite how I expected it to be from the stock images, his house was a little out of shape when it arrived (not the seller’s fault, he was squashed through the letterbox!) and now I have detached him from his toadstool home, it has a tendency to fall over when he isn’t sat inside!

Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog Review Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog ReviewHowever, he has somehow managed to find a special place in my heart. I think that’s the thing with Jellycats. Sometimes I fall in love with them straight away, sometimes it just takes a little time to “get to know them”!

He has been sat on my living room table since he arrived, smiling away to me and I’ve now warmed up to the little guy!

Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog ReviewForest Fauna Frog arrived attached by a cotton thread through his hang tag to a loop inside the bottom of his house.

On the top of his hang tag is the Jellycat style number (FORF2F) and the message below reads:

I am
Forest Fauna Frog

Please look after me.

Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog Hang TagThe little frog is very small, which is actually just what I wanted as I love the tiny Jellycats.

I intend to use this little guy as a “pocket Jellycat” to be able to fit in my handbag while out and about.

He measures 10cm tall to the top of his little eyes and 8cm from toe to toe on his tiny webbed feet.

Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog Review Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog ReviewMy thoughts…

Although it took a little more time than usual to fall for this little guy, Forest Fauna Frog has really grown on me!

His little smile brightens my day while working, and I love his little (if a little wonky) toadstool home!

My only advice would be to try and see this little guy in the flesh first and check on the quality of his house to make sure it stands up.

The only other thing i’m not certain of is whether to unpick the stitched of his hands so they aren’t attached to his body anymore. I’ve seen someone do this on Reddit and thought it improved his look a little, but I’m a little nervous to try this myself! If anyone has done this before, please give me some advice as I don’t want to ruin him!

Happy Valentine’s Day! – The Cutest Valentine’s Day Jellycats!

Tuesday, February 14th, 2023

Hi everyone!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you’re having a fantastic day however you’re spending it!

Today, I will be highlighting some of the best (in my opinion) Jellycat plushies that are available this year!

There have been a few releases this year. Some are obviously Valentine’s themed and some are more subtle lovey-dovey Jellies. Below, I will show you some of my favourite Valentine’s Day Jellycats.

Blossom Heart Blush Bunny and Blossom Heart Tulip Bunny

Jellycat Blossom Heart Blush Bunny and Blossom Heart Tulip Bunny

These cute Blossom Blush Heart and Blossom Tulip Heart bunnies hold a floral heart that matches the pattern on their inner ears.

I think I slightly prefer the aqua and pink floral notes on the Blush Bunny but they are both beautiful!

The bunnies have only been released in the small 15cm size.

Alice Axolotl

Jellycat Alice Axolotl

Whilst she is technically not a Valentine’s Day Jellycat, Alice Axolotl’s hot pink colour is undeniably gorgeous for this time of year!

She was originally available in a medium 27cm size, but has recently been released in a smaller 17cm size.

Which size do you prefer?

Amuseable Tulip

Jellycat Amuseable TulipAmuseable Tulip was actually released back in 2020. However, it is still available today and would make a lovely Valentine’s Day gift for a Jellycat collector!

I’m a huge fan of the Amuseable range. They’re just so quirky and random that I love them! I especially think the plants are great if you don’t have the time or energy for the upkeep of real plants or flowers.

Amuseable Hot Pink Heart

Jellycat Amuseable Hot Pink Heart

What could be better than your very own heart to cuddle?!

I had a hard time deciding whether to put the Hot Pink Heart here or the similar Amuseable Red Heart as they are both cute. In the end, I ever-so-slightly preferred the colour of the Hot Pink Heart.

The Amuseable Hot Pink Heart was released in a small and large size.

Love-Me Lobster

Jellycat Love-Me Lobster

Love-Me Lobster is so adorable that I had to include him here!

Both his tail and claws are shaped just like love hearts and his cute little black eyes are too hard to resist! He looks like he’s just asking for a cuddle!

And finally…

A Pair of Lovely Lovebirds

Jellycat A Pair of Lovely LovebirdsWhat could be better than two Jellycats in one!

A Pair of Lovely Lovebirds is exactly that! This set of two lovebirds are too cute for words. One is yellow with a red head and the other is green with an orange head. There is a lot of attention to detail on this pair as well with the two-tone beak, white ring around the eyes and colourful wing-tips!

Aren’t they adorable!

More Bashful animals added!

Wednesday, May 12th, 2021

Hi guys!

Hope you have had a lovely weekend!

I’ve been making some progress on adding more Bashful animals to the database, but a couple stood out to me that I would LOVE in my collection…

One of these is the Bashful Donkey.

He just looks so cute! He kind of reminds me a little of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, especially now his colour has changed from the original light grey colour to the lavender colour he is now.

The next animal Bashful I would love, but don’t have yet, is Bashful Calf.

I am pleased that Jellycat have gone with a spotty calf as I love how every pattern is unique. And the suede effect tassels on his tail are too cute!

There is also a brown Bashful Cow, which is also very cute.

I am currently planning out my next Jellycat purchase, but I’m totally undecided which to go for at the moment so I’m hanging on for the moment until I’ve made up my mind.

I couldn’t resist…

Wednesday, April 21st, 2021

Hi guys!

If you’ve read my last post, I have been currently collecting dragon Jellycats. I bought a Bashful Dragon in a small and medium size. I also have a Little Sage Dragon and a Little Dexter Dragon.

Don’t they all look so cute pictured together?

I also mentioned before that I was sooo tempted by a Lallagie Dragon, but was trying to resist. Well…I caved and bought him. I’m so glad I did, as he’s so lovely and soft!

He is a lovely colour and these pictures don’t really do him justice. I’d say he’s a sort of minty-green/silver colour. I ADORE his little horns and tiny ears!

His legs are weighted with pellets, making them a little bit floppy. On his back, he has minty green wings and a long tail. His fur has a slightly “wavy” texture but very soft, and his belly is a lot smoother with horizontal stitching across it for detail.

He looks lovely alongside my Bashful Dragons and I’m so glad I bought him. He is taller than my medium Bashful Dragon, measuring about 39cm tall.

Christmas is nearly here!

Friday, December 18th, 2020

Hi everyone!

What a year this has been! But finally, Christmas is nearly here!

I thought with the festive season upon us I would show you five of my favourite Christmas/Winter-themed Jellies!

1. Amuseable Christmas Wreath

First up is the Amuseable Christmas wreath!

Now I absolutely ADORE the Amuseables range. They’re just so cute and quirky, and this little guy is no different. He doubles up as a Christmas decoration too and just makes you smile. Something we all need at the moment!

2. Amuseable Christmas Pudding

Following on from the Amuseables range, is the Amuseable Christmas Pudding!

I’m in two minds with this one…

What I mean is, I can’t quite decide whether to hug him or eat him! He’s too cute to eat, yet he looks so yummy!

3. Bashful Snug Bunnies

Now I know TECHNICALLY these are actually two different Jellycats, they are basically the same Bashful Bunny, just with either a teal or berry coloured snug.

I think out of the two I prefer the teal coloured snug, but I just couldn’t choose! Comment below which is your favourite!

4. Amuseable Avocado – Cozi

There are actually three of these little guys. They came in teal (pictured above), papaya and mustard.

They are an offshoot of the original Amuseable Avocado and they are just so cute in their little winter hats!

I picked the teal version as he is my favourite.

And finally…

5. Snow Dragon

It was so hard to choose between the Snow Dragon, Bo Bigfoot and Yani Yeti and I’m still torn, but in the end I just had to go for the Snow Dragon. He just reminds me sooo much of Falkor in The Neverending Story which was one of my favourite films as a child.

Jellycat new releases!

Wednesday, August 12th, 2020

Hi everyone!

Sorry the site has been a bit quiet lately. Things have been pretty hectic at home recently, but I’m trying to get back on track to populating Jelly Collector’s database (as much as is possible with a 9 month old!).

So what’s new in the Jellycat world?

Well it appears the new Bashful Snug Bunnies are now available! They are now in stock on the Jellycat website in the small size only.

These adorable Winter bunnies are snow-white in colour and are available wearing either a berry or teal coloured snug. Perfect for the cold and frosty nights ahead (although that seems a way off at the moment!).

Following on from the Winter theme, the Amuseable Mince Pies are also in stock!

However, the Amuseable Christmas Pudding and the Amuseable Brussels Sprout are unavailable, with estimated dates for new stock in 3-4 weeks! (Nooooo!).

 

What Jellycats are you most looking forward to? Or have you added any of the gorgeous new Winter-themed Jellies to your collection? Let us know in the comments below!

Hope you have all been keeping well, and Happy Collecting!

Welcome to Jelly Collector!

Monday, June 29th, 2020

Hi everyone!

I’m really excited because this is my very first post on Jelly Collector!

I already run another website dedicated to Ty Beanies, called Beaniepedia, where you can track your Beanie collection. I am also a huge Jellycat fan, as are a number of members on Beaniepedia, so I’ve decided to create Jelly Collector to track your Jellycat collection too!

Jelly Collector allows you to track what Jellycats you already own or search for new or retired Jellies that are not yet in your collection. If you don’t know the name of a particular Jellycat and are trying to find out more information on it, we also have a handy search feature to help you filter by colour or animal.

I will be posting Jelly-related articles to help you keep up with the latest releases or any Jellycat news I come across that might be of interest to other collectors.

I first came across Jellycat in the shops nearly 20 years ago and the first one I bought was a blue and white funky bug, which seems like an odd choice for a young girl, but I loved him all the same and still own him to this day. I just loved how unique and quirky Jellycat toys were and how they were so different to other toys around at the same time.

Years later, like many others, I fell in love with the Bashful Bunnies range. Below is a picture of my very first Bashful Bunny, a small beige bunny I have nicknamed Flo. She started off my love of the Bashful Bunnies as they are just so adorable and there are so many different colours to collect!

bashful bunny beigeNow there are some amazingly cute Jellies available, and some really unique ones, like the fruits and vegetables in the adorable food range and Dexter the Dragon.

I hope you enjoy using Jelly Collector and stay tuned for later updates!
