They're so ugly I NEED them (especially Mapleshade, the little critter)

Bristlefrost looks so fluffy, but why does Mapleshade look so off? Rusty looks adorable though, but giving Firestar another plushie also feels like a cop-out, ngl.

So Bristlefrost, Mapleshade and...RUSTY (for some reason)?!
Was hoping for Bristlefrost (since she won in fourth place last year but Hollyleaf got made before her despite only being fifth), waiting for Mapleshade (since she won the poll in first place last year) but certainly did not expect Rusty.
Rusty truly is just the Firestar plush but simply with an added collar on which is kinda a rip-off but I guess people who don't have Firestar already and keep on missing the restocks he features in might be happy to have him. Plus, he also goes well with the plush of his older brother Scourge since they can be collar buddies (or enemies).
Definitely getting Bristlefrost because she looks lovely (like her mom)! But Mapleshade freaks me the heck out because of those eyes and her soggy "just got out of the river" look. Like, it's fitting for sure but still...

A solid lineup. I know people wanted more Mapleshade content, including Bristlefrost gives me hope for the modern arc POVs, and Rusty is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

It does feel like a cop-out, it’s basically Jayfeather/Jayfeather with stick all over again, we could’ve had a DOTC cat, or Hawkfrost since he’s in sixth place, the next one with higher votes after his predecessors. I wouldn’t mind Rusty though, I don’t really have plans to buy any of the plushies in general.

To be honest, I really was hoping for Hawkfrost as the third plush this year too, since he indeed was in sixth place on the poll from last year. Though, I guess Firestar getting another plushie as his kittypet self Rusty is to celebrate the TPB GN series starting next year.

I'd say the Jayfeather incident was worse since the second one came out soon after the original did. At least Firestar had time, plus it is the 20th anniversary and there's a graphic novel coming out next year too, so I guess it makes sense, but still.

Here's a pic for each, just in case the instagram link doesn't work: All three: Mapleshade: Bristlefrost: Rusty: They are already available in the official store (US, International and EU).

I hope the next wave is Tigerstar and his clones (Tiger, Bramble, and Hawk) Same. Hawkfrost was in sixth place on the poll last year (the one Mapleshade won in first). So maybe he'll at least get his chance next year. And I'm still hoping for Tigerstar I as well. Not so sure about them ever making Brambleclaw/star merch though, due to his lack of popularity in recent years.

I'm assuming they did Rusty for TPB graphic Novel. I have Firestar already. I need Rusty now.♡

It's a cheap cash grab to release Firestar with a collar and call it new. Their marketing is that he has an "innocent look in his eyes," when his eyes are... the same. Absolute laziness on their part but they know that the fans will buy anyway so they'll just keep doing that. At least when Jayfeather came out again, it was just a mini and the stick made sense, plus there were other new characters anyway. This is just another sign that they don't care about their fanbase and will do anything to get money, even if it's replacing another plush they've already sold with a collar and calling it good. Yet another year will pass with no Bramblestar/Tigerstar/Hawkfrost plush.

Aaaaand I ordered the Bristlefrost plush (as well as the personalized cat tag because I wanted to buy it last time already with the minis but forgot and then didn't want to buy it just on its own). 30 bucks for shipping really hurts though, not going to lie, like ouch.

Bristlefrost is probably my fav out of these three. Mapleshade is something, and giving Firestar another plush and adding a collar seems like a cop-out.

YOOOOO so they were saving Maple and Bristle for this year after all! Guess it really does explain why we didn't get a 2023 plush poll!
I just ordered Bristle and I can't wait for her to get here! She's soooo cute! Glad they gave her some white and didn't just make her solid gray! I always imagined her with thick fur too, so her fluffy, tufty fur here makes me happy. And hey, finally a plush of a cat from one of the most recent arcs!
But Mapleshade...omg I do NOT like it lol. She looks sooooo goofy with her eyes and evil little smile. I wasn't planning on buying her either way, but I was def looking forward to seeing her plush, and this is...disappointing.
And yeah, Firestar-but-with-collar feels cheap as heck. I know they probably did it as an easy way to bring the plush wave up to 3 characters like always and it is cute as little tribute, but I'm not feeling it.

Bristlefrost looks very cute! I'm tempted to get her. Mapleshade is creepy (must be the eyes). And there's no need for another Firestar. lol Cash grab, methinks.

I wonder why make another Firestar plush when you can sell the collar separately so you can put it on your own Firestar plush, similar to Build a Bear. Maybe even use the collar for your own cat.

That would’ve been such a cute idea, I’m at least glad they used an actual jingle bell for the Rusty figure and it’s not just a ball of felt- I wanna hear his little “pitiful kittypet tinkling” lol

Yes, I added a screenshot of my order in that post where I said how much the shipping was. It's not affordable in the slightest. But that's honestly nothing new, since the shipping previously was also 10 to 20 bucks before that. 30 bucks shipping is definitely not something I will ever be willing and ready to pay again just for a plush though (and the cat tag). Like, that's the limit for me. Anything higher and I'm out anyway. Guess this was an early Christmas present for myself (from me). Maybe I should've waited a week for Black Friday lol. Although I doubt there'll be any deals on the website or impact on shipping cost.
