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!

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.

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.

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!

What is my Jellycat worth?

Tuesday, November 30th, 2021

UPDATED FOR WINTER 2021

If you’ve made it here, there’s a good chance that you’re wanting to find out the value of a Jellycat plush you have. To try and help out, I’ve written this handy guide.

It can be quite difficult to find out the price of an untagged Jellycat, especially if it’s a vintage one that isn’t very well known. This guide is best for those who either have a tagged Jellycat or if you definitely know the name of it.

If you know the name of the Jellycat you want to price, then proceed to read the next steps in this guide.

The links below are affiliate links. If you purchase something by clicking through one of the links below, we may receive a small commission. This doesn’t cost you anything additional and helps to fund this site.

I’ve found that the best place to price a Jellycat is on eBay. I will base this guide on the UK market, but if you are based in the USA, the same procedures can be used using eBay.com.

To start, head over to eBay. You will find the following page, pictured below.

eBayWhen the page has loaded, go to the search bar, entitled “Search for anything”, and type the name of the  Jellycat you want to price. For example, I will search for a “Sherbet Bashful Bunny” (highlighted in red).

 

You should find a page that looks a little bit like the one pictured below.

 

This won’t show you the value as such, only the price that people have listed for. A seller can list whatever price they want for anything, but the value is only as much as a buyer is willing to pay for that item. To get the true value, you will want to filter the results so you only see sold items.

Scroll down the page until you see a section on the left hand side titled Show Only. Tick the checkbox called Sold items. This will also automatically select Completed items. This is no problem as we want to see the completed sales (sales that were actually paid for).

 

When the page has loaded with your filtered results, you will want to filter the results further by sorting from the lowest price. Click on the drop-down box that currently says Ended recently and change it to Lowest price + P&P.

Below are some of the results we get back (as of 30th November 2021).

As you can see, they start at just over £47.

And a few more…

 

 

A lot depends on the size and condition of the Jellycat. For example, a medium Sherbet Bashful Bunny ranges from about £50 up to about £90. The £50 medium Sherbet bunny was in poor condition with no tags and the £90 bunny was BNWT (Brand New With Tags).

The best thing to do is to search for your Jellycat and using the guide above, filter the results, then find a Jellycat that most accurately fits with the condition of the one you are trying to price.

I hope you find this guide helpful in trying to find the value of your Jellycat/Bashful Bunnies.

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.

Who is your favourite Bashful animal? Leave a comment below!
