Is a blahaj that comfortable to cuddle? I thought it was a meme, but suddenly I'm wondering if I'm missing out
I have a small Blahaj (55 cm long, there's a one-metre version, too) that I'd rate medium-to-good in terms of cuddlability, maybe a 7-ish out of ten. Its stuffing is soft but still offers a good amount of resistance when you squeeze it, so you actually feel its body when you hug it. The size is a bit small for full-body cuddling, but it's great for cuddles on a chair; I like to put it on my forearm or hold it between my body and my elbow when I'm typing, but the bigger version would be better for cuddles when I'm in bed or standing up, or when you want to dance with it. It has very little fluff (like, the "fur" of a plushie), which makes it a bit "harder" than fluffier ones, but not uncomfortably hard. I often find myself holding Blahaj's fins / hands because they're the perfect size for that, I think. It's also very compact and doesn't have any long limbs (like tails, big ears, long arms) that make it more difficult to handle.
I'd say that small Blahaj is a plushie with a great form factor and a good compromise between portability and cuddlability, but this also means that it doesn't excel at anything. For more specific purposes, there are other plushies that are more suitable than Blahaj, but it's still a great all-rounder for the average person. If you already have plushies that suit you well, I wouldn't say you're missing out, but if you don't have any, it's a good entry-level plushie :3
