Toy Fair 2022 Posh Paws Jurassic World Plush 002

Our friends at Posh Paws were set up across the pond at UK Toy Fair last week, showing off all that's soft and fuzzy in their world. Among this year's offerings were a killer line of Dream Works plush from movies like Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon, and Kung Fu Panda, a mighty Minion march, a trip down to Sesame Street, and our favorite series that turns monsters into bedtime buddies... Jurassic World! Posh Paws renders the terrifying jaws and slashing claws of the JW Dinos into kid-friendly piles of fluff in a number of scales to suit the needs of any Reptar wrangler. Let's take a look!
