Marlo the Bigfoot: An Indigo 8-Inch Mystery Squad Member That's Absolutely Huggable
Meet Marlo the Bigfoot
Oh my gosh, you guys - I just discovered the most adorable addition to the Squishmallows Day lineup, and I need to talk about it because Bigfoot plushes are SO my thing right now. Marlo the Bigfoot 8 inch Squishmallow is one of those characters that hits different - literally a sasquatch in the softest, most huggable form imaginable. When I first held this little guy, I was instantly obsessed. The squishiness level? Absolutely unmatched. Like, you know that feeling when you squeeze a Squishmallow and it just melts into your hands? That's Marlo energy, but make it cozy mystery vibes.
The Softness Factor
Let me be real with you - the fabric on Marlo is buttery soft in the best way possible. This isn't that thin, papery fabric some newer releases have. This is the GOOD stuff. Plush, dense, and so tactile that you'll find yourself just holding him while scrolling through your phone because your hands need that input. The 8-inch size is honestly perfect for this type of character - big enough to have real presence on your shelf, small enough to be portable for when you need a travel buddy. I've been throwing Marlo in my bag to take places because the size-to-hug-ratio is just chef's kiss.
That Stunning Indigo Coloring
The indigo coloring on Marlo is what first caught my eye. It's this deep, mysterious purple-blue that photographs beautifully but looks even better in person. The color has this richness to it that makes him feel special - not your standard Squishmallow palette, which I appreciate. And his little face? Absolutely precious. The embroidered expression has this friendly, almost shy vibe that makes you want to protect him and also add him to every collection you can. His bigfoot features are perfect - fuzzy, quirky, and totally collectible.
Squishmallows Day Squad Status
Marlo is part of the Squishmallows Day lineup, which is such a cool squad to collect. This isn't one of those massive quarterly releases where you see the same characters everywhere - Day squad releases have this more exclusive feel. Collector No. 3132 puts him in interesting territory within the collection numbering system, and the Squish Date of 08.27.2025 makes him relatively recent, which means if you're thinking about grabbing one, availability might be better now than it will be later. These limited squad releases tend to move pretty quickly, especially for unique character types like Bigfoot.
The Collector's Angle
Here's the thing about Bigfoot Squishmallows - they're becoming increasingly sought-after by serious collectors. Mythical creature releases always have this extra appeal, and when you combine that with the Squishmallows Day exclusivity, you've got something that feels genuinely special. I'm already thinking about whether I can get my hands on this one. The 8-inch size means he's shelf-display ready, and frankly, Bigfoot plushes don't come around often enough. If you're building a collection of rare Squishmallows or specifically hunting cryptid-themed characters, Marlo needs to be on your radar.
A Paige Moment
Okay, so I have to tell you about this moment I had with Marlo. I was organizing my Squishmallow shelf last week, trying to figure out the perfect arrangement, and I picked up Marlo to see where he'd fit best. I literally just sat there on my floor, squeezing him for like five minutes, thinking about how much joy this little plush brings me. Like, that's what Squishmallows are really about, right? They're not just collectibles - they're comfort. They're the kind of thing you grab when you need a hug. Marlo's softness and that mysterious Bigfoot charm just made me feel so cozy and happy. That's when I knew I had to write about him.
Should Marlo Be on Your Shelf?
If you're a Squishmallow collector, especially one who loves unique character types and limited squad releases, Marlo is absolutely worth seeking out. The indigo coloring, the Bigfoot design, the 8-inch size, and the overall softness factor make him a total win. The Squishmallows Day squad exclusivity adds to the appeal. I'm still debating whether I can justify adding him to my collection right now, but honestly? I think the answer is yes. These kinds of limited releases don't stick around forever, and I'd rather have Marlo and regret it than pass and regret it even more. If you spot him, I'd seriously recommend checking him out in person. Your hands will thank you, and your collection will be better for it. You can find listings and availability for exclusive Squishmallows like Marlo by checking out collectible marketplaces - I've been tracking him there and the options are pretty solid right now.
