Deadpool has always been popular, but the influx of fun Deadpool merchandise came primarily after his presence in pop culture rose with the releases of the two live-action "Deadpool" films. The iconic mercenary soldier without a mouth is not a character intended for kids, but cute Deadpool plush toys make good gifts for adult fans who are still kids at heart.
If you are looking for the best Deadpool plush for collectors, the Funko Deadpool Fabrikations Plush is the top choice. It is a highly-detailed plush sculpture to add to a collection of Funko Pop figures or other figures from the Fabrikations line.
There are so many Marvel characters to choose from that it could be difficult to narrow down the list. If Deadpool is not your favorite Marvel anti-hero or perhaps you are looking for a gift, consider widening your search to all the best Marvel characters.
Many Deadpool plush toys have exaggerated features and abnormally large heads. However, if you are striving for a realistic representation of Deadpool, you are probably better off looking for figures or statues. The benefit of a highly-stylized plush is that it is cute and will put a smile on your face.
Over the years, Deadpool has had a variety of different styles and colors for his suits. Depending on which version of Deadpool you like best, you might want to find a Deadpool plush inspired by one of the many variations of Deadpool's suit. You probably will not be able to find a plush for side characters unless they are very popular in their own right, like famous members of the X-Men. Generally, the more obscure your favorite suit or character, the harder it will be to find a plush.
It is hard to make clear facial expressions when a mask is covering your face. Deadpool's eyes have served to express his emotions in the comics. If the surface of the plush is a plain, neutral expression, it may not be what you are looking for. The best Deadpool plush toys have highly expressive eyes and an overall design that communicates emotion.
Deadpool's suit is pretty simple in terms of colors and shapes. For a plush to be recognizably Deadpool, it must get the details right. Utility belts, weapons, the shapes of the fabric making up the mask and more can make a difference for the design to be clearly Deadpool.
It can be easy to get caught up in the appearance of plush toys and forget that one of the most important factors is that they need to be soft and squishy. If you plan to put your Deadpool plush on a shelf and never touch it again, this is of no concern. However, if you want to hug or squeeze a plush toy, it is important to consider the materials used before you buy.
Size matters when it comes to Deadpool plush toys. You can probably find a simple small plush for under $25, but for collectibles and larger plushes, expect to fork over more cash.
A. If you like the X-Force's appearance, the Kidrobot X-Force Deadpool Plush is what you are seeking. There are other great variant suit plush toys out there too. Some X-Men suits make for good yellow or blue "Deadpool" plush toys that stand out from the usual red and black ones. Of course, those different suits are not to be confused with the rainbow assortment of "Deadpool" suits worn by different mercenary characters originally on the Mercs for Money team. Finally, if you are looking to build a "Deadpool" plush collection with Stingray, Slapstick, Solo, Terror, Foolkiller and Madcap, you might have trouble finding plush inspired by their suits.
A. A more expensive plush is probably not the best option for a dog toy. A simple, cheap Deadpool plush could double as a chew toy, but there are also plush toys intended for dogs, like squeaky Deadpool dog toys. If you get a Deadpool plush toy made for dogs to pick up and carry, it might be durable enough to last more than a day if you are lucky.
