... Read moreYou know that feeling when you find something totally unexpected that sparks joy and a memory? That's exactly what happened when I spotted this adorable olive oil Squishmallow at Aldi! While Odette, my new plush friend, isn't an official 'The Walking Dead' collaboration, seeing her instantly brought back memories of the show. Especially when I put her next to my Carl Grimes Funko Pop, it just clicked! It made me wonder, how cool would an actual TWD Squishmallow line be? Imagine a soft, cuddly Daryl Dixon or even a little Maggie Rhee Squish!
Collectors are always on the lookout for unique crossovers, and a TWD collection would definitely be a 'holy grail' for fans like us. For now, pairing my favorite Squish with a Funko Pop, like the Carl Grimes, Maggie, and Teddy Bear Girl figures I have, is a super fun way to bring these worlds together. It creates your own little themed display, mixing your love for different collectibles. Have you ever mixed and matched your collections like that to create your own unique stories?
Speaking of unique finds, the thrill of stumbling upon a seemingly 'limited edition' Squishmallow like my olive oil Odette is what makes collecting so exciting! Itâs not always about an official 'limited edition' tag, but more about those unexpected, special finds that feel rare to *you*. Knowing where to look, like checking out Aldi's seasonal aisles regularly, can lead to some amazing discoveries. Sometimes, it's a unique color, a character with a special design (like this charming olive oil one!), or just a Squish that deeply resonates with you. What truly makes a Squish special? For me, it's the story behind the find â was it the last one on the shelf? Did it remind me of something specific? That personal connection gives our plushies their unique charm and value in our collections.
The idea of Squishmallows collaborating with TV shows and movies is huge, and it's a trend I absolutely adore! We've seen so many amazing pop culture Squishmallows already, from beloved Disney characters to Star Wars and even some exciting anime crossovers. It really makes you dream about future possibilities. Could we ever get an official 'The Walking Dead' Squishmallow line? Imagine a cute, zombie-fied Squish (but still totally huggable, of course!) or iconic characters from the show in Squish form. These TV/movie crossovers are often the most sought-after, becoming instant collector's items. Itâs not just about the show itself; itâs about connecting with a beloved character in a new, cuddly form that you can display or snuggle. What TV show or movie would you love to see get the Squishmallow treatment next? For now, I'll keep my fingers crossed for a TWD series, and enjoy my unique olive oil Odette standing proudly next to my Carl Grimes, Maggie, and Teddy Bear Girl Funko Pops!
