American Dove LLC Brings Beloved Retired Squishmallows Back to Life, Filling a Void for Collectors and Comfort-Seekers

GIG HARBOR, WA – October 26, 2023 – Remember that one Squishmallow? The one you couldn't find anywhere, the one that perfectly matched your mood, the one you missed after it went out of production? American Dove LLC, a Washington-based company dedicated to bringing joy through soft collectibles, is stepping in to fill that void. They're specializing in sourcing and offering retired Squishmallows – those ultra-soft, delightfully squishy plush toys that have captured the hearts of collectors and comfort-seekers of all ages. American Dove LLC, located at 1106 143RD ST NW, Gig Harbor, WA, 98332-9705, and reachable at 781-497-1254, understands the strong emotional connection people have with these little guys. It's not just about a stuffed animal; it's about a feeling, a memory, or a completed collection. "We started American Dove because we saw how devastated people were when their favorite Squishmallows were discontinued," explains a company representative. “We knew we could help bring some happiness back into their lives by finding these hard-to-find treasures.” What is the Squishmallow Craze? For those not already in the know, Squishmallows exploded in popularity a few years ago, quickly becoming a massive phenomenon. Created by Kellytoy (now part of Jazwares), these plush toys are known for their incredibly soft, marshmallow-like texture and their adorable, unique designs. Each Squishmallow has its own name and backstory, adding to their collectibility. From whimsical unicorns and sleepy sloths to cute avocados and mischievous sharks, the variety is seemingly endless. But the continuous introduction of new characters also means that older, beloved designs are often retired – taken out of production to make way for the latest releases. This is where American Dove LLC comes in. Sourcing Retired Squishmallows: A Labor of Love Finding retired Squishmallows isn't easy.
