I still have my first ever Build a Bear, he's a polar bear that was gifted to me a bit after I was born. I never loved him though. My favorite stuffed animal is one I got when I was two(?), she is extremely well-loved.
There's been a couple of times where we've removed some of her old stuffing, sent her through the washer and dryer (or hand-washed her), and then re-stuffed her. The first time though she was super deflated and gross (I was a messy kid) so we took out all of her stuffing before washing her twice. I actually took her to Build a Bear and got her professionally re-stuffed!
I only have a few others, just because it doesn't feel like there's much of a point in having stuffed animals I can't snuggle at night. I'm one of those people who needs to be holding something to fall asleep comfortably.
That being said, I really like Squishmallows. I want to get a couple of the ones that are pillow-shaped and actually use them as pillows. I also have plans to make a giant stuffed oarfish, they are my favorite fish and would be the perfect shape for a long accent pillow across the top of my bed.
Etsy probably has a bunch. If you're the crafty type, it would probably be really easy to knit, crochet, or sew a Junimo. Whenever I sewed little plushes, I would partially stuff them with scrap fabric to reduce waste.
ItemLabel (the company that makes Sucklet and other plushes) has some other cute shit. My favorite is
Moley, specifically this variation.

If you like this cow guy called Peepy, there are a bunch of fun variations! I think they're all pretty cute but my personal favorite is the corndog one.

I have nothing better to do. I'll spend my time scouring the internet.
That being said - if anyone knows of some reptile or ocean animal plushes, preferably realistic or weird looking ones, I would be grateful forever.
