Trivia[]
General[]
- After the release of the Paintbrush plush, Justin Chapman stated that II plushies are no longer going in popularity order, the first 2 (Lightbulb and Yin-Yang) were in order since it’s a big investment but they are still “testing the waters” with plushies. [7]
- When they were first added to the online store, the descriptions for the Cabby and Balloon plushies said that the two contestants had both lost out to Silver Spoon in the finale. This was assumed by the community to be a leak and was also quickly removed, but was confirmed to be untrue due to Cabby's victory in "You Can't Do This Forever".[8]
- All upcoming plushies WILL get tags (including restocks!)[9]
- In May, Adam asked via a twitter post[10]what character the community would want to see next. Bot was one of the more requested characters, which likely led to their plushie being made.
- 2023 had the most plushie releases in object show history, with Inanimate Insanity releasing 6, JacknJellify releasing 3, and a few other channels releasing their own plushies.
- Prior to their release in November, the Fan, Test Tube, and MePhone4 plushies were leaked via an email.
- Bot and MePhone4 are the only characters not present in the top 9 of the popularity poll to get a plushie, but this is because Bot debuted in Season 3 of the show and MePhone4 weren’t options.
- When asked about a Baxter plushie in JacknJellify’s 2,000,000 subscriber live stream, Adam said that a Baxter plushie was not “top on the priority list,” meaning Baxter realistically won’t have a plushie.
- Later, during JacknJellify's 2,000,000 subscriber livestream, Adam confirmed that Yin-Yang would get a restock in 2024, with the plushies additionally being larger.
- When asked about a Baxter plushie in JacknJellify’s 2,000,000 subscriber live stream, Adam said that a Baxter plushie was not “top on the priority list,” meaning Baxter realistically won’t have a plushie.
- Justin Chapman is the only person in the key three to not have a character they voice as a plush.
- Adam Katz is the only person who voices two characters that have plushies.
- Test Tube has appeared on the MOST tags out of any character. Including Paintbrush’s tag (most likely for being a bright light with them), Nickel’s tag, Bot’s tag (most likely for creating them), and her own tag.
- Bot also ties with her in terms of most tags as they're seen in Nickel's tag, their tag, MePhone4's tag, Balloon's tag, and Cabby's tag.
- MePhone4's tag includes Balloon, Bot, and Yin-Yang, which were assumed to be his three favorite contestants in "Home Is Where the Heart Is".
- The back of Taco's tag is a screencap from "Hatching the Plan" when Microphone cuts off contact with Taco.
- This may count, as this is also the first time, in a character plush to have the back their tag to only have half of the characters. Breaking the streak of only including four characters visibly seen in the back of their tags, of course only having two characters in that tag.
- This is also the first time where characters who don't have their own plush are also seen in each contestant's tag, with Goo in Cabby's tag, and Candle and The Floor in Yin-Yang's tag.
