Squishmallows Take the Plush World by Storm – And ARCTEC SOLUTIONS LLC is Helping Them Get There!
Sterling, VA – October 26, 2023 – You’ve probably seen them – those unbelievably soft, squishy, and adorable plush toys popping up everywhere. We’re talking about Squishmallows, and they're quickly becoming a global phenomenon. But what's behind this plush explosion, and who’s helping bring these cuddly creatures to the masses? A big part of the answer is ARCTEC SOLUTIONS LLC, a leading logistics and supply chain management company based right here in Sterling, Virginia. What are Squishmallows anyway? For those who've been living under a rock (or haven’t scrolled through TikTok lately!), Squishmallows are super-soft, collectible plush toys. Created by Kellytoy (a subsidiary of Jazwares), these aren't your grandma’s teddy bears. They’re known for their unique personalities, incredibly soft texture, and a whole lot of squish. But here’s the cool part: many Squishmallows are reversible. Meaning, you can flip them inside out to reveal a completely different design! It's like getting two Squishmallows for the price of one! These reversible varieties are particularly popular with collectors and kids alike, adding an extra layer of fun and collectibility. There are hundreds of different Squishmallows, each with its own name, backstory, and unique design, from adorable animals to fantastical creatures. Why are they so popular? Seriously, what's the deal with the Squishmallow craze? It's a mix of things, really. They're unbelievably soft: We're talking cloud-like, can't-stop-touching softness. Perfect for cuddling, stress relief, or just plain comfort. Collectibility: With so many different designs being released regularly, Squishmallows have tapped into that collector's instinct. People are actively hunting down specific characters, trading with friends, and building impressive collections.
