Seems like Round 1 was hyped enough to bring a second round. In case you are curious, jump over to the official poll on the warriors site! |

So I guess my thoughts in the last thread were untrue. (Assuming that they already had chosen the obvious characters to make plushes of, primarily the protags.) I am honestly so confused, I can only assume these plushies are gonna be small-scale produced, designed more for the superfan than to be sent to stores? Honestly this was a hard choice, but I went Jayfeather because I like him a lot, but I'd buy most of the characters in this poll.
I'd love more information on this, but I doubt they'll give us much until they're available which could take ages. I feel like my choice would be hugely impacted by what designs they chose for the cats specifically and I wish they'd done mock-ups for us to see and help inform our choice. We have some pretty solid fandom ideas, and some pretty good clues in the official art, but what are they going for? A stylised representation of the cat in a cartoony way? - Perhaps stars on the leaders, less-realistic pelt colours, other patterns that might not make much sense on a real cat, accessories in the form of their namesake (like some people giving Hollyleaf a holly leaf behind her ear or a Jay's feather behind Jayfeather's)? I would honestly prefer that to separate them from the "generic cat plush" market and make them more clearly the fantasy cats we love, but I know that a lot of people also prefer to make them as realistic as possible visually or as close to their descriptions in their interpretations. Whatever they chose will be valid as an interpretation though, and I hope that the fandom will respect that, obviously there will be memes and stuff, but hopefully we will have the respect not to turn rabid if it's somehow "wrong" (same with the film, if that hasn't been cancelled or hit production blocks). Stuff like the cost would also be great to know, since I'm not going to be dropping £60-100 unless they're amazing, artistic plushes. I'm hoping they'll be around the £30-35 mark with a decent design that makes me directly think of the cat they're based off.
Also, if we get Leafpool and Jayfeather, I'll be so happy I'll make a medicine cat "corner" in my room.

See as much as I like the option of the other characters, I had to go with Firestar cause he's the OG and it would feel weird to me if a different plush was made before him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wanted Firestar because he is like... the OG - he was also a cat that I never hated. Sometimes I didn't care much for him but that's because the books diverged down different paths and focused on others. But Firestar is always the OG.

Bluestar would've been cool, but so far no one cares about bluestar.

I voted for Ivypool but I’m glad Jayfeather is winning. I hope he beats Graystripe in the final round or I hope they make both Graystripe and Jayfeather.

I really hope it doesn’t take them forever to make the plushies. My birthday is coming up and I would love to get one as a present.

FallenStars🌠 Sadly they'll probably take forever, plushies seem to take a lot longer to develop than other products which makes sense, since they're more complicated to produce. Part of me hopes this is a marketing thing, to get the fandom excited with a vote, only to announce "We're doing all of these characters because we know you love them all so much! Here they are buy them now!", though I doubt it highly since the cost to produce them, unless they're in very small batches or low-quality would probably outweigh the cost of the sales of the less-popular characters (like Lionblaze, who gets pretty ignored in the fandom in general for not being as unique as his siblings and the other protagonists). Just let me dream! Anyway, happy future birthday!

If its Jayfeather I just hope they make his eyes have normal pupils like he's actually described as in the books.
And hopefully he comes with a free stick accessory.
