Beanies are my favorite kind of plush. This is a small plush with a nice weight due to the beans. I probably paid a little too much for this guy, but I had been waiting for one with tags to pop up for a while!
This plush originally came inside a Poke Ball that you could pop open to "release" it. Mine has long lost its Poke Ball and is a little discolored, but still cute!
This is a Gamestop exclusive Mew released in 2020. It's SO big! I was super excited when it released and pre-ordered two right away. It was released during Covid, so I remembering getting this big guy as a bright spot in an awful year. It's a pretty firm plush, so better for display than cuddling.
I've been down a bit of a rabbit hole researching this plush. 99% of the time you see it without a hang tag, because it was released in a gift box set of tushtag-only plush. However, I recently saw one on JP Mercari brand new with a hang tag and snatched it up. I didn't know the history of the tagged version until I spied a familiar Mew in a video showing the interior of the 2002 NYC Pokemon Center!
Now that I've learned its history, I love this plush even more and it has an honored spot in my collection.
I didn't know this plush existed until I spotted it in a lot on Ebay, along with Squirtle and Togepi. I love the little Mew peeking out of the stocking-- it's actually fully removable! A lot of detail for such a tiny plush.
This is the biggest of the Tomy Mews. It was released for the "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew" movie, and it talks! Absolutely one of my favorite plush. Unfortunately, mine is missing the voice box.
Pretty much the same plush as the lifesize talking version, just smaller and without a voice box.
This is a cute little beanbag in the "Kuttari" style, but with a soft terrycloth type fabric.
This Mew is part of the 20th anniversary Pokemon release. It has crushed velvet fabric, and originally came in either a box with a Poke Ball, or a soft plastic case. For some reason nobody is too fond of these guys. I think the fabric choice and the fact that they're extremely firm contribute to this. The pattern used for the Mew isn't my favorite-- it has an oddly long nose. Maybe that's why this series hasn't increased in value over the years, despite being a limited release!
This Mew looks identical to the 20th anniversary version, just with a different expression and fabric.
The sleepy Pokemon in the Suyasuya line are so adorable! They have a stretchy minky fabric and are filled with mochi stuffing so they're extra squishy. This Mew comes in small and big versions. It was a challenge to hunt down the large version and I wasn't able to find one with a hang tag-- I feel like it must not have been available for long!
This plush was released for the Mewtwo Strikes Back "Evolution" remake of the original Pokemon Movie. It has the perfect length of fluffy fur, and is an excellent portrayal of Mew at exactly life-size. It has since gone up in value and can be tricky to find. This plush was one of my grails, but a Mew collector was kind enough to sell it to me individually from an auction lot. The tail string has been snipped on mine, and it was originally sold attached to cardboard packaging. But it's very nice to hold in its current form!
"Kuta Kuta Tatta!" translates roughly to "Pokemon is Exhausted!" and features floppy, fluffy beanbag plush. Tomy makes them, but they're sold in the Pokemon Center. I love this line so much I got both sizes! They're so soft, and the beans give them a really nice weight. I also like that Mew's tail isn't attached to its back. They're very cuddly plush!
This series translates to "I choose you!" They're made to be a nice size to carry everywhere. The fur is longer than the usual minky fabric, and they have hard eyes like the vintage plush of the 90s and early 2000s. This plush would be great if it didn't have such a weird face-- why are the eyes so far apart?

The San-ei Allstar plush are styled to be accurate portrayals of the Pokemon they represent. I'd say the quality is just as good as Pokemon Center brand plush as well! I love that they have some beans in the butt to help them sit up and add some weight. I currently have the smaller mascot version, but there's also a larger Mew comparable to the Pokemon Fit line.
The Bigmore! line features San-ei's largest plush, and this Mew is BIG! Every Bigmore plush comes with a keychain representing the featured Pokémon. They're very well-made with solid stitching and soft fabric.
Sekiguchi makes a series of extra fluffy Pokemon plush sold in retail stores and the Pokemon Center. The fabric is different than every other Mew plush I've seen-- it's very fuzzy! They recently did a re-release of this line called MokoMoko Puchi. I bought the new version at The Pokemon Center in Tokyo on a recent trip to Japan.
I found this backpack at a random store in Kyoto during a trip to Japan. This appears to be a more mass market item, as I saw them all around various stores in Japan. It's not super functional because the pouch is pretty small, but it's a cute backpack!
These are squishy mochi plush you can rest your wrist on while using the computer.
This Mew came in an online-exclusive bundle that included a Master Ball hoodie, purple cape and 5-in-1 sound box. I really wanted to get this one when it released, but by the time I knew it existed it was already sold out! Second-hand prices were high for a while, but by 2025 the value decreased a lot and I grabbed a tagged one with the purple hood. Mine doesn't have sound, unfortunately.
