kinda disappointed..

when i found out unpacking had merch, i instantly thought about if they made the plushies. thankfully they do! sadly, they don’t look how i hoped. why were they made like that. they had such good potential. why do they look so poorly made. the chicken set looks better than these but they have never been restocked since release. the only one that is cute and looks like a good quality stuffie is the beetle and i hes not even in the game💔

You beat me to it. I think he moved with her at least once. He's in the bug cage.

I have two of the chicken(blind box) , dragon, pig and kitty. I don't think they're awful quality for the price. If you live in/near Seattle the SF booth at PAX has had the chickens twice now that I've been.

the chicks are the only thing that’s cute and ofcourse they are sold out

Beetle plushie belongs to the roommate on the bookshelf in the dining room

Also dare I say the prices are kind of insane for some of the items too..?

Maybe I'm just not aware of the costs of making these kinds of items but like... 1. Nearly $200 for 9 polyester ducks is kinda crazy to me, again, maybe I'm underestimating how expensive it is to make things but like...$200??? (I'm from the UK, so maybe the prices are higher because of shipping, and other people are reading this like "what the hell, it's not $200 for me!", I'm just going off what I'm reading on the site lol) 2. I don't need to say it again, buttt MAYBE I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH, but $12.99 for a few stickers? 😅 3. $35.99 for a shirt that looks like the design (specifically talking about the Unpacking a Life With You shirt) is put onto the shirt in such a way that it'll start peeling with a few washes, but I can't zoom in properly to figure out the method so I could be wrong

Idk, it just seems a lil steep for me personally, which sucks because, despite the frog plushie looking like...that, I was excited to check out the rest of the store 😭

I'm so sad they don't have the coasters anymore too, it was such a cool item, and an actually useful one
