The Rumor Mill
Squishy Rumors & Leaks
What the squishy community is buzzing about — sorted honestly by how solid it is. Some of this is confirmed; plenty is just chatter. We label every item so you know what you're reading.
Read the labels
Confirmed items come from brands or Toy Fair reveals. Rumored is credible-but-unofficial. TikTok-only is unverified crowd chatter — fun, but don't plan around it. For drops that are actually dated, see our 2026 drop calendar.
Squishmallows × Chiikawa and × Mofusand — Fall 2026
Confirmed via Jazwares’ Toy Fair reveals: the Chiikawa and Mofusand crossovers debut at 8" in fall 2026, with a Koupen Chan wave reported to follow in spring 2027. Two of the most-anticipated collabs of the year.
NeeDoh Squishmas Advent Calendar
Schylling revealed the holiday Squishmas advent calendar in August 2026 — 24 mini NeeDohs behind 24 doors, plus seasonal reindeer and knit-mitten kitten minis. Expect it to sell out well before December.
Mystery Dumpling becomes a full lifestyle brand
Earthbound Brands was named exclusive global licensing agent for the RMS Mystery Dumpling in August 2026, with plans to expand it into apparel, home, food, and entertainment. The 40-million-unit squishy is going the way of Labubu.
A wave of new squish lines from NY Toy Fair 2026
Revealed at Toy Fair: Jazwares Fijables, Toysmith Sugar Skwisheez (and Skwisheez Noods), and Orb Sugar Swaps — while Wigglitz took home 2026 Toy of the Year. The category is crowding fast.
More Nice Cube colorways after Candy Swirl
With the Nice Cube now outselling the original Groovy Glob, additional swirl and glow colorways are widely expected to keep the line fresh through the holidays. Specific SKUs aren’t confirmed yet.
Zorbitz Farmers Market restocks and new produce
The literal "Farmers Market" mini line sells out fast at Walmart and Sprouts, and collectors expect fresh fruit-and-veggie assortments to follow. Nothing official on new characters yet.
Five Below restocks squishies Wednesdays and Fridays
A widely-repeated TikTok claim, not an official schedule. Anecdotally some stores restock NeeDohs and dumplings midweek and Friday — but staff confirm there’s no guaranteed cadence. Treat as a shopper’s hunch, not a plan.
Target squishies restock on Wednesdays
Another crowd-sourced restock rumor. Target’s toy resets vary by store and week; there’s no confirmed squishy restock day. Your best bet is checking in-store stock via the app before you drive out.
How to Read a Squishy Rumor
- 1. Consider the source. A brand reveal or Toy Fair photo beats an anonymous TikTok comment every time.
- 2. Restock "schedules" are usually myths. Most viral restock-day claims aren’t official — stock varies by store and week.
- 3. Patterns are the safest bet. "There will be more Nice Cube colorways" is near-certain; "it’s definitely lavender next" is a guess.
- 4. Don’t overpay on hype. Chase items resell for wild multiples — check retail stock first before paying the secondary market.
