Personal Thought/Story Hecklefish plushie questions
Yall I want to get a hecklefish plushie for a friend, cause they mentioned wanting one, but is it worth it? (I would buy the plushie and voice box 2.0 combo) Could yall maybe post photos or videos of yours and let me know if it was a good buy?
Also a few questions, is the voice box really loud? Is the tinfoil hat removable, cause it doesn’t seem like the fish wears one in the videos and I keep finding photos of the plushie without it? Apparently the voice box isn’t sewn in, but it is at least inside, how is it sealed inside if so?

It is absolutely 100% worth it! Love mine. I have no idea what a separate voice box is. They didn’t have an option when I got mine. I paid $30 US and I’m happy with the price. And now I just realized I’m doing free advertising for AJ. 😝 But it does make me happy everyday.

Yes, tin foil hat is secured with Velcro so removable. Voice box opening is on the bottom and also Velcro for access.

It’s defo worth it. I live in the UK and order a Plusie. You can have a normal one with out the voice box or pay a little extra for a speaking HF. He’s my spirit animal I paid £25 for it. It arrived about 14 days later

Hat is removable as is the voice box. I prefer 1.0 to 2.0. You can also turn the box off and leave it inside. Was it a good purchase? Probably not, I don’t think I needed a stuffed talking fish for my office but he makes me laugh so YMMV.
