Would anyone in Europe be interested in a #Plushtodon? I'm selling mine for €39.99 plus shipping. Open to offers.

There's nothing wrong with it and I think it's a cool product, I just think it was more of an impulse purchase than something I need at all.

@renchap’s #Plushtodon planning for the @Mastodon Strategy 2025 in Paris.

Celebrity spotting at #FOSDEM!
Can't believe I got to meet the #Plushtodon 😍
(And some other bearded guy who photo-bombed us.)

If you come to the Mastodon stand at #FOSDEM (building H, corridor downstairs), you will be able to meet the #Plushtodon.

Something tells me my workout buddy's not doing their fair share :google_emoji_kitchen_blob_and_dizzy_symbol_mashup:​

Carnival season is upon us and today we tried on a couple of costumes.

Last summer. Oxenholme station.

Mister Mastodon would like to tell you about the decentralised future

The Creature and I are ready for the parade~~

The #Plushtodon (shown here with a small owl pal) is about a third larger than I expected, but I am delighted to report that it is just as friend-shaped as I hoped. :3

Checking in with friends before starting the day.

Your guess is as good as mine

#Plushtodon now accompanies our piano!

Not sure what you're getting? Someone made a video review of the toy, so you can see it in action. You can also browse the #Plushtodon hashtag to see the elephants on their adventures.

Only about half of #Mastodon stuffed toys are still in stock in the US. Help us pay our bills *and* get a friend-shaped travel and business companion! #Plushtodon

Putting my new friend to work.

Oh it sounds cute. Here's how #ChatGPT described the #Mastodon Plush Toy verbally so I as a #Blind person could imagine it. #Plushtodon "The Mastodon mascot plush toy is a charming and whimsical representation of a small, cartoonish mastodon. Here's a verbal description:

- **Body Shape:** The toy has a rounded and slightly chubby body, giving it a cute and cuddly appearance. Its proportions are compact, making it look approachable and friendly.

- **Color:** The plush is typically a soft, light gray or pastel tone, reminiscent of the gentle hues seen in many plush toys designed for comfort and warmth.

- **Head Features:** The head is oversized compared to the body, emphasizing its adorable nature. It features large, expressive eyes that exude friendliness. A small, smiling mouth adds to its approachable look.

- **Trunk and Tusks:** As a mastodon, the toy features a small, curled trunk and two short, curved tusks. These are stylized to make them look more playful than realistic, blending seamlessly with the toy's overall cartoonish vibe.

- **Ears:** Two floppy, rounded ears sit on the sides of its head, further contributing to its lovable and huggable aesthetic.

- **Arms and Legs:** The arms and legs are short and stubby, designed more for cuteness than realism. They enhance the toy's cozy, plushy charm.

- **Material:** The exterior is made from velboa or a similar soft, smooth fabric, ensuring a pleasant tactile experience. It's stuffed with soft polyester fiberfill, making it squeezable and huggable.

This toy strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and personality, making it a delightful keepsake or companion."

I wasn’t expecting him to be so big.

Mr. Mastodon arrived in time to help us pack for our cruise.

With the understanding that some people will and do call it a waste of time, another highlight of my year was getting the #Plushtodon out into the world. I didn't want to just make another soulless piece of merch to tick off a box. I wanted to create a toy, a friend, that would rival anything you could get at a toy store. It brings me joy seeing that people seem to appreciate the effort.

He is here!!! The boy!!! Hello boy!!!

I love him and how he is perfectly balanced to sit without falling over 😌
