Google’s New Merch Features Beloved Android Plushie
▼ Summary
– Google has released three new merchandise items for the holiday season, including an Android plushie, a Jenga-like game, and an espresso cup set.
– The Android Classic Plushie is a 12-inch tall version of “The Bot” mascot, previously available as a Play Points reward and on the Google merch shop.
– A smaller “pint-sized” Android plushie is also available on the Google merch shop, being half the size of the classic version.
– The new items on the Google Store include the “Search ‘n Stack Game” (similar to Jenga) and an espresso cup set, both featuring Google’s signature red, yellow, green, and blue colors.
– The Google Store began selling merchandise online last year, with few additions until this recent release, while the dedicated merch shop has seen more frequent updates.
Just in time for the holidays, Google has unveiled a fresh collection of official merchandise, headlined by the return of a fan-favorite Android plushie. This launch marks a notable expansion for the Google Store, which began its online retail operations last year to mirror the inventory found in its physical locations. Until now, product updates have been relatively scarce, with the most significant addition being a limited-edition Pixel 10 collection.
This week’s release introduces three distinct new items for shoppers.
The standout piece is the $36 Android Classic Plushie. Standing twelve inches tall, this soft toy brings the beloved “The Bot” mascot to life. Its design will look very familiar to dedicated fans, as it is identical to the plushie previously offered as a Play Points reward earlier in the year. It has also been available through Google’s dedicated merchandise shop in the U.S. and other countries. Its arrival on the main Google Store makes it more accessible than ever.
For those who prefer a smaller companion, the official Google merchandise shop also carries a “pint-sized” version of the Android plushie, which is about half the size of the classic model.
Beyond the cuddly robots, the Google Store has added two other new products. One is the “Search ‘n Stack Game,” a colorful take on the classic Jenga block-stacking game. The other is a vibrant espresso cup set. Both items proudly display Google’s iconic four-color palette of red, yellow, green, and blue.
Meanwhile, the separate Google merchandise shop has seen a much more active rollout over recent weeks, featuring a wider array of new products for enthusiasts.
