For me it would be better. I do have the interest to buy a plushie. But with some negative reviews like the stitches are loose it really discourage me to purchase one. Do they allow refunds for it?
If only I could see the plushies physically I could finally see if I should buy at least one. Maybe sell plushies at Barnes and Noble.

I think the plushies are far too ugly to sell at a physical store, nobody would buy them
They barely even look like cats, I mean how do you mess up a cat plushie?

I think selling plushies in the same bookstores the books are sold in would be nice, even if they design smaller plushies with less detail to make them easier to reproduce. Maybe like a four character set per batch? Firestar/Graystripe/Tigerstar/Bluestar, Bramblestar/Leafpool/Hawkfrost/Squirrelflight, Hollyleaf/Lionblaze/Jayfeather/Breezepelt, Dovewing/Ivypool/Flametail/Tigerstar 2, etc. Or at least making the large plush already out more available and enabling reviews in the Warriors Store so that people can submit their photos and experiences.

I would love that but I just know that they'd sell for double or triple the price in Australia ;~;
I know they get a lot of criticism but even with their flaws I think they are cute. I prefer the minis and would totally buy them if I saw them instore. The thing holding me back is shipping, although I suppose like I said, even if they were instore they would be more expensive :/

I think the minis would be better. It's less shelf space, they look cuter, and, more importantly, they're cheaper and more collectable. Even if the plushes were up to standard, it's easier to justify an impulse purchase costing around $13 than a full $30, and given that the series is long enough to warrant repeat trips to the book store, there would be more of those customers that repeatedly pick up one or two sets of minis for each of those repeated visits.

I finally received my shipment of Plushies, and can say there pretty good quality for $30. After seeing some of the absolute garbage that off-brands make of various franchise official merchandise like Pokémon, Super Mario, Star Wars among others, and the ugly stuff that TY Beanie baby’s makes and still manages to sell, I’d say it’s worth the value.
Now as to why they haven’t decided to sell them in stores? That’s pretty simple, profits, they would either have to increase the price to make the same amount of profit, or they’d make a reduced amount off of each, both which would have negative impacts on revenue. And given the limited supply they produce and demand there’s not really a need to be more widely distributed.

I wish they sold the mini figures in stores. Also, there are no Barnes and Nobles in Canada. So maybe Barnes and Nobles in the States and Chapters (or Coles) over here.
I also still want Funko Pop figures.

I really wish that the minis and plushies were sold in physical stores too. I find it much easier to buy an item physically somehow and I think it'll attract more attention, especially with younger kids who probably don't shop online often.

I think it'd be a good idea to sell them in the same stores that the books are sold - it'd be easier for kids to buy them than keeping them as an online-exclusive.

It wouldn't make a difference for me, it's highly unlikely they will be sold in the Netherlands.
