The CRYBABY universe has always been about feeling things deeply. This time, she's taken that ethos and turned it into something you can clip onto your bag.
The CRYBABY Cry Me an Ocean Series Vinyl Plush Pendant is a separate release from the Figures series — softer, wearable, and designed for a completely different kind of collector. Six regular characters plus one ultra-rare secret, each one combining a hard vinyl face with a plush body and a metal keyring loop. These are made to travel with you.
The complete Cry Me an Ocean Vinyl Plush Pendant lineup — 6 regular characters plus 1 secret
Vinyl Plush: A Different Kind of Collectible
It's worth being clear about what these are, because the format matters. Vinyl plush pendants combine two very different materials: a hard, precisely moulded and painted vinyl face (the same PVC used in traditional figures), and a soft polyester plush body that you'd associate with a stuffed toy. The result is something that feels genuinely luxurious to hold — firm where it needs to be expressive, soft everywhere else.
Each pendant comes with a metal keyring loop, making it functional from day one. At approximately 10 cm, they're sized to hang comfortably from a bag without overwhelming it. The body interior is filled with small round beads alongside the cotton padding, which gives a subtle satisfying weight when you hold one.
This is not the Figures series. If the Figures series is for your shelf, the Vinyl Plush Pendant series is for your life.
The Lineup: 6 Regular Characters
The Shark — grey plush with a wide open jaw; CRYBABY's tears paired with actual teeth
The Shark
Grey plush body, white inner jaw, with CRYBABY's vinyl face peering out from between the rows of soft felt teeth. The contrast is pitch-perfect — the most menacing animal in the ocean, worn by the most emotionally vulnerable character in toy collecting. The Shark is the one collectors who don't think of themselves as "cute toy people" end up reaching for.
The Pufferfish — neon yellow spikes in soft plush; impossible to ignore on any bag
The Pufferfish
Neon yellow spikes rendered entirely in soft plush — not sharp, obviously, but textured in a way that makes the figure genuinely fun to touch. A bright pink pom-pom nose sits at the centre. As a bag charm, the Pufferfish is the loudest statement piece in the collection. You will be asked about it.
The Anglerfish — soft pink plush body, yellow lure pom-pom, white wave detail around the jaw
The Anglerfish
Soft pink plush with a yellow pom-pom lure and a white wave-pattern border around the jaw. The Anglerfish is the most unexpected beauty in this lineup — in its natural form, not a conventionally attractive creature; in CRYBABY's hands, genuinely charming. The yellow lure bounces slightly when the pendant moves, which is a detail that only becomes apparent once you're actually carrying it.
The Sea Bunny — pastel pink plush, white-tipped antennae; based on the real-life nudibranch that took the internet by storm
The Sea Bunny
Based on the real-life sea bunny nudibranch — the small, white, genuinely rabbit-like sea slug that briefly became an internet sensation. POP MART's version renders it in pastel pink plush with white-tipped antennae. It is soft. It is small. It is the pull that makes people gasp at unboxings. Community consensus has consistently ranked the Sea Bunny as the most-wanted regular character in the series.
The Manta Ray — wide blue-grey plush wings; the most architecturally distinctive pendant in the lineup
The Manta Ray
Cool blue-grey plush with wide flat wings that extend outward. The Manta Ray is the most architecturally distinctive pendant in the set — the wing span changes how the figure hangs and moves on a bag, giving it a kind of flight-like quality. A subtler choice than the Shark or Pufferfish, but the one most likely to age the best.
The Sea Turtle — sage green plush with textured shell; calm, steady, quietly beloved
The Sea Turtle
Sage green plush with a textured shell pattern across the back. The Sea Turtle is the most understated figure in the series and, perhaps for that reason, the one that collector communities tend to appreciate more over time. No loud colours, no dramatic accessories — just CRYBABY, dressed as one of the ocean's oldest and most dignified residents.
The Secret Figure: The Sea Otter
The Sea Otter secret — she holds a miniature baby otter plush; the most coveted pull in the series
The secret figure for the Vinyl Plush Pendant series is The Sea Otter, and she is exceptional.
The Sea Otter is dressed in a full grey otter plush suit and — here is the detail that has driven collector communities to distraction — she holds a miniature baby otter in her arms. A figure holding a tiny version of itself. The meta-narrative is so on-brand for CRYBABY (who is, after all, a character defined by her relationship with her own emotions) that it almost reads as intentional art direction.
The Sea Otter secret figure is available at KikiBuddies as a confirmed pull. Given its rarity, availability is limited — check current stock before it sells out.
