==Overview==
==Overview==
Due to the large amount and variety of plushie items within Neopets, plushies are one of the more popular items collected in [[Item Gallery|Item Galleries]].
Due to the large number and variety of plushie items within Neopets (over 1500 items as of April 2009) and the general opinion that they are cute, plushies are one of the more popular items collected in [[Item Gallery|Item Galleries]].
 
Plushie colored pets are quite popular, as well, but are also very valued as the Plushie [[Paint Brush]] is one of the most expensive brushes in the game.  The number of Plushie pets is somewhat limited because the [[Lab Ray]] will not paint pets Plushie colored which means that the only way for a user to obtain a Plushie pet is to buy a paint brush or morphing potion; or to use the prize from a [[Fountain Faerie]] Quest.  Conversely, the Plushie Petpet Paint Brush is the least expensive Petpet paint brush, making Plushie Petpets quite easy to get.
 
Perhaps because of the popularity of plushies in Neopia, TNT has been producing plushie merchandise that is available in stores around the world.  Some users have collected hundreds of the real plushie items both because they like them and for the [[Rare Item Code]]s that can be redeemed on the site and give out special Neopets items.

''...to be added...''
''Note: In Plushie Tycoon (PT) a user has a store and earns [[Neopoints]] when selling plushies but they only exist within PT game frame. The  store is not the same as their own [[shop]] and the NP is never credited to their account.''
 
Plushie Tycoon is one of the more complicated games on the site and requires more time to play than most. The game restarts every month, starting within the first week of the month and ending at midnight [[NST]] on the last day of the month. If a player wishes to attain one of the [[Trophy|trophies]], they will need to spend 1-3 hours every day for run of the game (more time towards the end) making sure that their factory is producing plushies, shipping them to their plushie store and are being sold.  The prizes vary depending on your final NP on hand and how many plushies you sold. This game can be quite lucrative to the user willing to spend time on it as the top prize yields a gold trophy and 200,000 NP.  The top seventeen PT players in Neopia for the month also get on the [http://www.neopets.com/gamescores.phtml?game_id=170 high scores table] and earn 250-750 NP per day for the next month.
 
The first time a player successfully completes the game with a cash on hand balance higher than they started with (50,000 NP) they receive the Plushie Tycoon [[Avatar]].


==Colour==
==Colour==
Users are able to [[The Rainbow Pool|colour]] their Neopets or Petpets ''Plushie'', a feature which was added on November 26, 2002, and December 23, 2002 (respectively). This can be done by either using a [[Paint Brush]] at the Rainbow Pool/Petpet Puddle. Neopets also have the option of using a [[Morphing Potion]] or visiting the [[Rainbow Fountain]]. This colour is not available through the [[Lab Ray]].
:''Main Article: [[Plushie (colour)]]''
 
Plushie is one of the many [[colour|colours]] that users can paint their [[Neopet|Neopets]] and [[Petpet|Petpets]].  Plushie pets are designed to resemble plushies, complete with stiching, [[Wikipedia:Patchwork|patchwork]], and button eyes.  The Plushie colour for Neopets was released on November 26, 2002, and the Plushie colour for Petpets was released on December 23, 2002.
 
==Items==
===Plushies===
[[Image:Tyrannian_Shoyru_Plushie.gif|right|frame|A Tyrannian Shoyru Plushie]]
 
There are many plushies users can buy and they rage from very common to very rare.  While classified by [TNT] as Plushies, they are essentially a [[toy]].  In fact, they were originally sold in the [[Toy Shop]] in [[Neopia Central]]. Because of this, plushies can be played with by pets and will increase the pet's mood.  There are a few items that are plushies but are called toys.  This includes most of the [[Poogle]] Plushies and a few [[Elephante]] plushies.
Most can be purchased from the [[Plushie Palace]] in the [[Neopian Plaza]]. Some are only available as prizes in [[Plots]] or from the annual [[Advent Calendar]] or other site events. Others are found while playing games around the site including [[Underwater Fishing]] and a variety of games in the [[Deserted Fairgrounds]].  Some are widely considered to be quite visually pleasing while others are broken, like the very common Headless Von Roo Plushie.
 
Paint Brush Plushies regularly cause confusion, especially with inexperienced players.  Many ill-intentioned users will claim that these plushies work as Paint Brushes when, in fact, they are merely a toy and do not work to change a pet's colour.  These users often scam the unaware out of thousands of Neopoints.


Each Plushie Neopet or Petpet is constructed with an assortment of plushie materials, with their appearance usually looking [[Wikipedia:Patchwork|patchwork]].
===Morphing Potions===
[[Image:Potion grundo plushie.gif|right|frame|Plushie Grundo Morphing Potion]]
[[Morphing Potions]] are available in many colors including Plushie.  There are 23 Plushie Morphing Potions as of April 2009.  The bottle for each species is unique and looks like a bottle-shaped representation of that plushie pet.  If a user chooses to use this item on their pet (note: use on not feed to), their pet will be transformed into that the exact pet in the potion's name.  For example, using a Plushie Grundo Morphing Potion on any pet will turn it into a Plushie Grundo.


===Neopet===
===Magical Plushies===
As of December 2008, a total of 53 Neopets can be coloured Plushie...
A different kind of plushie that is also sold in the Plushie Palace. Any pet-shaped plushie prefaced with the word ''Magical'' is a special item that acts like a [[Morphing Potion]] and will actually change a user's pet when played with.  For example, a ''Magical Green Kiko Plushie'' will turn a users pet into a Green Kiko.  The item is only good for one use and, after, the magic will be used up and the item will become a simple ''Green Kiko Plushie''. In all, there are only 76 different Magical Plushies.  The magical plushies look identical to the non-magical plushie of the same type.

==Merchandise==
As with plushies, the Magical Poogle and Elephante plushies are called toys. Their exact names are:
 
*Magical Green Elephante Toy
There are many plushies you can buy and they rage from very common to very rare.
*Magical Purple Poogle Toy
*Magical Yellow Poogle Toy
They are bought from a shop in the Neopian Plaza like any other merchandise. Some people choose to collect them and others just like to buy certain plushies that they find 'cute' or it seems like a bargain.


They all look quite the same with a patchwork appearance and are now available for most Neopet look a likes.
===Other Items===
There are many other items in Neopia that are plushie themed, including [[Books]], [[Trading Cards]], [[Battledome|Battledome Items]], [[Furniture]], [[Food]], and a single [[Stamp]].


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*A [http://www.neopets.com/shopping/giveaway.phtml Neopets Plushie Giveaway] began on December 21, 2007.

Jubjub red sad.gif This page is under construction
Overview to be expanded, Plushie Tycoon summary needed, summary on real life plushie merchandise
A Plushie Jubjub playing with three different kinds of plushies.

A Plushie is a soft toy (hence "Plush"-ie) within Neopets. Plushies and the theme of Plushie is popular in Neopets, ranging from various Plushie Neopets, Petpets, and items.

Overview[edit]

Due to the large number and variety of plushie items within Neopets (over 1500 items as of April 2009) and the general opinion that they are cute, plushies are one of the more popular items collected in Item Galleries.

Plushie colored pets are quite popular, as well, but are also very valued as the Plushie Paint Brush is one of the most expensive brushes in the game. The number of Plushie pets is somewhat limited because the Lab Ray will not paint pets Plushie colored which means that the only way for a user to obtain a Plushie pet is to buy a paint brush or morphing potion; or to use the prize from a Fountain Faerie Quest. Conversely, the Plushie Petpet Paint Brush is the least expensive Petpet paint brush, making Plushie Petpets quite easy to get.

Perhaps because of the popularity of plushies in Neopia, TNT has been producing plushie merchandise that is available in stores around the world. Some users have collected hundreds of the real plushie items both because they like them and for the Rare Item Codes that can be redeemed on the site and give out special Neopets items.

Plushie Tycoon[edit]

Main article: Plushie Tycoon

Note: In Plushie Tycoon (PT) a user has a store and earns Neopoints when selling plushies but they only exist within PT game frame. The store is not the same as their own shop and the NP is never credited to their account.

Plushie Tycoon is one of the more complicated games on the site and requires more time to play than most. The game restarts every month, starting within the first week of the month and ending at midnight NST on the last day of the month. If a player wishes to attain one of the trophies, they will need to spend 1-3 hours every day for run of the game (more time towards the end) making sure that their factory is producing plushies, shipping them to their plushie store and are being sold. The prizes vary depending on your final NP on hand and how many plushies you sold. This game can be quite lucrative to the user willing to spend time on it as the top prize yields a gold trophy and 200,000 NP. The top seventeen PT players in Neopia for the month also get on the high scores table and earn 250-750 NP per day for the next month.

The first time a player successfully completes the game with a cash on hand balance higher than they started with (50,000 NP) they receive the Plushie Tycoon Avatar.

Colour[edit]

Main Article: Plushie (colour)

Plushie is one of the many colours that users can paint their Neopets and Petpets. Plushie pets are designed to resemble plushies, complete with stiching, patchwork, and button eyes. The Plushie colour for Neopets was released on November 26, 2002, and the Plushie colour for Petpets was released on December 23, 2002.

Items[edit]

Plushies[edit]

A Tyrannian Shoyru Plushie

There are many plushies users can buy and they rage from very common to very rare. While classified by [TNT] as Plushies, they are essentially a toy. In fact, they were originally sold in the Toy Shop in Neopia Central. Because of this, plushies can be played with by pets and will increase the pet's mood. There are a few items that are plushies but are called toys. This includes most of the Poogle Plushies and a few Elephante plushies.

Most can be purchased from the Plushie Palace in the Neopian Plaza. Some are only available as prizes in Plots or from the annual Advent Calendar or other site events. Others are found while playing games around the site including Underwater Fishing and a variety of games in the Deserted Fairgrounds. Some are widely considered to be quite visually pleasing while others are broken, like the very common Headless Von Roo Plushie.

Paint Brush Plushies regularly cause confusion, especially with inexperienced players. Many ill-intentioned users will claim that these plushies work as Paint Brushes when, in fact, they are merely a toy and do not work to change a pet's colour. These users often scam the unaware out of thousands of Neopoints.

Morphing Potions[edit]

Plushie Grundo Morphing Potion

Morphing Potions are available in many colors including Plushie. There are 23 Plushie Morphing Potions as of April 2009. The bottle for each species is unique and looks like a bottle-shaped representation of that plushie pet. If a user chooses to use this item on their pet (note: use on not feed to), their pet will be transformed into that the exact pet in the potion's name. For example, using a Plushie Grundo Morphing Potion on any pet will turn it into a Plushie Grundo.

Magical Plushies[edit]

A different kind of plushie that is also sold in the Plushie Palace. Any pet-shaped plushie prefaced with the word Magical is a special item that acts like a Morphing Potion and will actually change a user's pet when played with. For example, a Magical Green Kiko Plushie will turn a users pet into a Green Kiko. The item is only good for one use and, after, the magic will be used up and the item will become a simple Green Kiko Plushie. In all, there are only 76 different Magical Plushies. The magical plushies look identical to the non-magical plushie of the same type.

Magical Plushies are extremely rare and are only available for a select collection of around 28 individual pet species and 15 colours as of January 2012:

As with plushies, the Magical Poogle and Elephante plushies are called toys. Their exact names are:

  • Magical Green Elephante Toy
  • Magical Purple Poogle Toy
  • Magical Yellow Poogle Toy

Other Items[edit]

There are many other items in Neopia that are plushie themed, including Books, Trading Cards, Battledome Items, Furniture, Food, and a single Stamp.
