Where to buy

Professional insight

Toy buyers check the license tag first. Then they match size and release to the listing.

  • Genuine plush carries a Gund tag and Pusheen copyright.
  • Squisheen and standard plush feel very different in hand.
  • Retired seasonal designs hold value with tags attached.
  • Fakes often have uneven eyes and loose stitching.
