Flip Squishmallows – Reversible Plush with 2 Characters in 1
Our Flip Squishmallows collection brings double the fun with over 80 reversible designs that transform from one character to another with a simple flip. Each plush features ultra-soft marshmallow-like polyester fill and our signature squishy texture on both sides. Perfect for collectors who want more personality in less space.
The 8-inch size fits perfectly in backpacks, car seats, and arms of all ages. We designed these reversible friends so you can match your mood – flip between a smiling axolotl and a sleepy sloth, or switch from a cheerful cat to a grumpy dragon. Every Flip Squishmallow comes with two unique character bios so you can learn about both personalities living in your new plush companion.
What makes Flip Squishmallows special
How Flip Squishmallows Work – Reversible Design Details
Our Flip Squishmallows feature a clever reversible construction that lets you turn the entire plush inside-out to reveal a completely different character. The transformation takes just seconds – simply reach inside the opening at the bottom seam and gently pull the inner character outward while pushing the outer character inward. Both sides are fully finished with embroidered faces, detailed patterns, and our signature ultra-soft fabric.
We engineer each Flip with a hidden seam that maintains structural integrity through hundreds of flips. The polyester fill distributes evenly on both sides, so whether you display the dragon or the unicorn, you get the same cloud-like squish. With over 80 character combinations available across our Squishmallows collections, you can find Flips that match any interest – ocean animals, food characters, fantasy creatures, and seasonal themes.
Sizing Guide for Flip Squishmallows
We offer Flip Squishmallows in three core sizes to fit different collecting styles and uses. The 5-inch clip-on version measures approximately 5 inches in diameter when laid flat, perfect for attaching to backpacks and bags. These clips add about 1 inch of depth with the plastic attachment hardware.
Our most popular 8-inch Flip Squishmallows measure 8 inches in diameter and approximately 5 inches in depth. This mid-size option works beautifully for both display and active play – small enough to pack for travel but substantial enough to really hug. The 12-inch Flip Squishmallows span a full foot across and offer 7-8 inches of depth, making them true statement pieces for bedrooms and living spaces.
Care Instructions for Flip Squishmallows
Flip Squishmallows in 8-inch and 12-inch sizes are fully machine washable. We recommend washing on cold or warm water settings in a gentle cycle, ideally inside a pillowcase or mesh laundry bag to protect the embroidered features. Use mild detergent without bleach or fabric softener, as these can affect the soft texture over time.
After washing, air dry your Flip Squishmallow completely before flipping it to the other character. Tumble drying on low heat is safe for the fabric, but air drying preserves the plushness longer and prevents any potential shrinkage. The 5-inch clip-on version should be surface washed only – use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean, keeping the plastic clip mechanism dry.

Common Questions About Flip Squishmallows
Our Flip Squishmallows collection currently features over 80 different character combinations across all sizes. We release new Flip designs each quarter, with seasonal collections adding limited-edition combinations for holidays and special events. The 8-inch and 12-inch sizes offer the widest character selection, while the 5-inch clip-ons feature about 30 of the most popular combinations in portable format.
Each Flip pairs two distinct characters – sometimes the same species with different expressions, other times completely different animals or fantasy creatures that share complementary colors or themes. You can browse the full catalog on our website or use our character finder tool to search by animal type, color, or theme.
No, Flip Squishmallows are engineered specifically for repeated flipping without damage. We use reinforced seam construction at the reversible opening that maintains integrity through hundreds of flips. The polyester fill distributes evenly regardless of which character is displayed, and the plush naturally returns to its round shape after each transformation.
Customers report flipping their Squishmallows daily for months with no degradation in quality or squishiness. The embroidered facial features are securely stitched on both sides, so they won't come loose from the flipping motion. If your Flip Squishmallow starts to feel less evenly distributed, simply massage the fill gently to redistribute it, or give it a gentle wash and air dry to restore the original plushness.
Yes, Flip Squishmallows in the 8-inch and 12-inch sizes are labeled for ages 0+ because they contain no small parts, hard components, or choking hazards. The entire construction uses soft polyester fabric with embroidered features rather than plastic eyes or button noses. We recommend supervising very young children during the flipping process to ensure they don't put the plush opening in their mouths.
The 5-inch clip-on Flip Squishmallows include a plastic clip attachment, so these are recommended for ages 3+ due to the small parts warning. For babies and toddlers under 3, stick with the standard plush sizes without clip hardware. All Flip Squishmallows meet or exceed ASTM safety standards for toy safety.
Flip Squishmallows typically ship with one character side facing out as shown in the main product photo, but you can instantly flip to the other character once you receive your order. The packaging clearly labels both character names on the front, so you know exactly which two personalities you're getting.
Since the flip mechanism works both ways equally, there's no "default" side – both characters are primary. Some collectors photograph their Flips on the less common side for social media to show variety. If you order a Flip as a gift and want a specific character showing when the recipient opens it, you can flip it to your preferred side before wrapping.
Yes, both characters in a Flip Squishmallow share the same rarity designation since they exist as a single product unit. If you acquire a limited-edition or exclusive Flip, both character sides are equally rare and collectible. The official hangtag includes information for both characters, including their squad numbers when applicable.
For collectors tracking rarity, catalog your Flip Squishmallows by the product SKU rather than trying to count each character side separately. Some ultra-rare Flips feature two highly sought-after characters paired together, making them especially valuable to collectors. Limited edition Flips from store exclusives or special collaborations are typically marked with special hangtag designs indicating their scarcity level.
Flip Squishmallows feature reversible construction with two complete characters built into one plush, while regular Squishmallows display a single character design. Both product lines use the same ultra-soft polyester fabric and marshmallow-like fill that made Squishmallows famous, so the texture and squishiness are identical.
The key difference is versatility – Flips let you change your displayed character instantly by turning the plush inside-out, which appeals to collectors with limited space or kids who like variety. Regular Squishmallows offer a wider range of sizes from 3.5-inch up to 24-inch, while Flips currently come in 5-inch clip, 8-inch, and 12-inch options. Some collectors prefer the simpler single-character format of regular Squishmallows, while others love the two-in-one nature of Flips. Both styles are officially licensed and equally collectible.
Each Flip Squishmallow includes an official hangtag that lists both character names, their individual birth dates, and squad numbers when applicable. We recommend keeping these tags attached or storing them in a collector binder to track your Flip collection accurately. Our website offers a downloadable checklist of all 80+ Flip combinations organized by release series.
When cataloging your collection, record Flips by their product SKU or by both character names together, such as "Cam the Cat / Gordon the Shark Flip." Many collectors use the Squishmallows collector app or spreadsheet templates to track which Flips they own and which combinations they're still hunting. The character bios on the hangtag include unique details that help distinguish between similar-looking Flips from different series.
