Toy Fair 2025: Super Impulse's World's Smallest Plush

Super Impulse World's Smallest Plush
What is it about reducing things down to pocket-sized that drives kids and adults crazy?? For me and other toy photographers, mini-sizing toys means our action figures have toys of their own,,,which makes for some amusing shots. Five Below's mini food offerings have been a major score in this respect, as toy photographers have no limitations for food and drink on which their subjects may chow down. Arguably, the originators of the down-sizing movement, Super Impulse, must look at their competitors with a "been there done that" attitude, making the task of finding NEW objects to minify more challenging. So...how about plush?
