Abstract
A plush toy includes a rigid body and a plurality of expandable, articulable and positionable tubes each extending from a proximal tube end to a distal tube end. Each proximal tube end is attached to the rigid body. At least two rigid hollow bases are each filled with weighting material. Each rigid base is attached a respective distal tube end of one of the plurality of tubes. A fabric covering surrounds the entirety of the rigid body, the plurality of tubes and the at least two rigid hollow bases. A compressible packing material is disposed inside of the fabric covering and outside of the rigid body, the plurality of tubes and/or the at least two rigid hollow bases. The fabric covering resembles an animal. At least one of the plurality of tubes represents an arm, a leg, a neck, a tail or a horn of the animal.
