Hey, Geekly Gang! Season here. Since Superman (2025) dropped in theaters a little over a week ago, I thought I’d cover an important character this week: Krypto Plushie. He couldn’t make it on the big screen, so he made his way onto Marcus Theaters’ shelves.

Before we begin, I’ll break down the categories for review. Yes. I have plushie categories. I’ll be looking at size, softness, kid-friendliness, and cuddliness. There won’t be an aggregated score.

Size

Krypto Plushie can easily fit in the crook of your elbow and most moderate-sized bags, making him easy to carry. He’s about the length of the pencil featured in the above picture. Unfortunately, the pencil did not survive the photo shoot. Krypto thought the pencil was a toy.

Softness Versus Firmness

Not too soft. Not too firm. Just right. 😀 Krypto Plushie is firmly in the middle as far as his stuffing goes. His fur, however, is incredibly soft. He’s made from polyester, but I’ve got to hand it to them. Krypto Plushie’s fur is less wiry than his movie counterpart. This grading is based on the firmness of the stuffing.

Kid Friendly Versus Adults Only

When I say kid friendly, I’m referring to the pieces on the plushie. The fewer pieces a plushie has that a kid can swallow, the more kid friendly it is. Krypto Plushie leans more toward the kid friendly side of this grade. However, he does have marble eyes and a plastic nose that a rough kid could potentially pull out. These features make him less than 100% kid friendly.

Cuddle Buddy Versus Desk Buddy

This is a question I ask myself every time I buy a new plushie: Do I want to cuddle this plushie, or is it going to live on a shelf? To me, Krypto Plushie is in the middle but leans more on the cuddle buddy side. He can stand up on his own (a huge plus for a desk buddy), but his soft fur and ease of carry make him a good cuddle buddy.

Final Thoughts

I love soft things and enjoy petting them to soothe myself. Krypto Plushie is amazing for that. He’s a good buy for fans of Superman (2025) and kids who want a stuffed dog wearing a cape. He costs $14 plus tax at Marcus Theaters’ concessions stands.
