Super-Sized Plush | ZURU Snackles

More about super-sized plush

Super Sized is its own range rather than a size option. The body is broader and sits lower than a 14-inch Series 2 plush of the same stated height, which is why a Super-Sized hippo feels bigger than its measurements suggest. Every one of them ships with a printed comic strip explaining how the character fell in love with its snack, which is the only place in the collection that story gets told.

The pairings here are the boldest in the range. A chicken holding a bottle of Tabasco. A bear with a tube of Pringles. An elephant curling its trunk around a Chupa Chups lollipop. The cow and the unicorn both carry Froot Loops, so they are usually bought together.

What the Super-Sized range actually is

Super-Sized is not a size band — it is a separate line, and every listing in it is 14 inches. The name refers to the fill rather than the measurement: these animals are deliberately over-stuffed so the body stays round under its own weight, which makes them the firmest and the most structurally impressive plush toys on the shelf.

Eight characters make up the range, each paired with a real snack: a bear with Pringles, a chicken with Tabasco, a cow with Froot Loops, a sloth with Mike and Ike, a hippo with Mentos, a bunny with Cinnabon, a unicorn with Froot Loops and an elephant with Chupa Chups. The packet is scaled up with the body, so the Pringles tube on the Super-Sized bear is close to the size of a real one.

This is also the best-reviewed range in the collection by a wide margin, with the four original characters sitting on thousands of ratings between them. If you have seen one Snackle in a photograph and it looked bigger than you expected, it was almost certainly from this line.

The characters and their snacks

The Super-Sized chicken with Tabasco is the character the range is known for, and the reason is that the pairing makes no sense and everybody remembers it. The bear with the Pringles tube is the one that sells best, the cow with Froot Loops is the one that photographs best, and the sloth with Mike and Ike is the one that gets described as the softest.

The later additions are the hippo with Mentos, the bunny with Cinnabon, the unicorn with a second Froot Loops box and the elephant with Chupa Chups. Froot Loops appearing twice is the only repeated snack brand in the range, and the two listings are easy to tell apart because one is a cow and one is a unicorn.

Each one holds its snack in both paws across the front of the body, which is why these work as display pieces: the accessory faces forward instead of sitting to one side, so the whole character reads from a single angle.

Prices and what the fill means in practice

The range sits between roughly fifteen and twenty-nine dollars, which puts a Super-Sized 14-inch plush at about the same price as a standard 14-inch Series 2 plush. You are not paying a premium for the extra fill; the difference is in how the toy behaves rather than what it costs.

The over-filling has one real consequence worth knowing before you buy. A Super-Sized Snackle does not collapse when hugged — it pushes back. Children who want something to flatten and sleep on usually prefer the 16-inch Series 2 plush, which uses the same fabric at a lower density. Children who want something that holds a pose on a bed prefer these.

The firmness also means they arrive in better shape than most large soft toys. A 16-inch plush compresses in transit and needs a day to recover its shape; a Super-Sized one comes out of the box round.

The Super-Sized Snackle against the standard sizes

A Super-Sized Snackle is not simply a bigger plush toy. The body is the same unique pattern as the rest of the line, but the fill is packed harder, so it holds its shape when you squeeze it and sits upright without leaning. The eight characters here are the bear with Pringles, the bunny with Cinnabon, the chicken with Tabasco, the cow and the unicorn with Froot Loops, the elephant with Chupa Chups, the hippo with Mentos and the sloth with Mike and Ike. All of them are 14-inch plushies, and the snack accessory is scaled up with the body.

The comparison people ask about is the 16-inch Series 2 plush. That one is taller but softer, because the fill density is lower; a super size Snackle at 14 inches feels heavier in the hand. If you want hugs, either works. If you want a plush that keeps its silhouette on a display shelf for a year, this is the shelf. Everything else is shared with the standard sizes: super soft fabric, squeezable plush through the middle, and the hangtag with a birthdate, a hobby, a star sign and the origin story comic that gives each character its story.

The small end of the line is the opposite choice and worth knowing about. The Snackles small size minis are 5-inch, the clip-on charm duo is smaller again, and both are made to be carried rather than displayed. In between sit the ranges people actually collect: Series 1 for the original characters, Series 2 for the real snack brands including Hershey's, Series 3 for the teen cast, Snackles Disney for Stitch and Rex, and the seasonal shelf for Christmas and Halloween. Fans who love the big ones usually find one cute 8-inch Snackles as well, which makes the joy of the line easy to understand: the same adorable, playful friend, built at whatever size suits the shelf.
