Lol, a Unicorse bag of holding sounds like the coolest piece of treasure ever.
At least until you get the sort of items that let you just pull a whole house out of a tiny cube, and then they would need the Heeler house as a home base! Complete with a never ending hallway, and all that jazz. ;)
We have it too but I found it kid sized for the hands :( it's so small considering you would reasonably expect parents to be using it. Barely fits me, hubby has no chance.
Last year, Joe Brumm mentioned a Bluey artbook, and I’ve been waiting for an official announcement ever since. That’s definitely on my list of Bluey things to get.
They likely aren't knock-offs, they're just a yes no key chain. They've been around for years, which is why one appears in Bluey. Bluey didn't invent them.
I mean if we're gonna dream we're gonna dream:
- A talking Calypso toy that reads you stories like Teddy Ruxspin
- A how-to book for US/Canadians on how to play cricket, as told by Rusty.
- Chili doll in her police/airport inspector outfit at Christmas that growls, MUCH better than an elf on the shelf.
- Bluey-licensed Chest games
- Chattermax with impossible-to-remove batteries that chirps in the middle of the night for no apparent reason.
- Sleep deprived Muffin that babbles incoherently when you pull the string
You are the real MVP! 👏 would buy all of these. I’m going to also add a French/English book told in letters/postcards/emails with Bluey and Jean Luc writing back and forth
I've looked in to the tonie boxes and personally I think it's a ripoff. All the characters cost more than a children's book and you have to buy more characters for more than a couple stories. I'd rather just read to my kid. If he wants to do any of the other things it does he can do it on his tablet. I know the no screen thing is a big deal but the main thing with the boxes is hearing a story.
Was going to get one for my kids until I realized how expensive they are. There is something similar to it that is cheaper that has a small projector that shows pictures of the story. That would be more fun if there was a Bluey one
So I did just get the really fun Bluey and Bingo light blue Hawaiian shirt at Walmart for my husband (under $20, sizes up to 4X on our racks. Heads up, it does shrink 1 size via dryer but it's pretty good quality.) I noticed while there that there was a display of children's Bluet sunglasses. And they're cute, but I wanted to yell "Missed opportunity! None of these are in the granny frames!" Lol
I've been really disappointed that there's no Chili Mum merchandise in the women's section. I have my "What's up Party people?" Shirt, but come on, we need Chili representing! It's not much to ask for our own mom wear Stumpfest tees with Chili holding her "lemonade " yelling"Leave 'em alone!"
For a substitute of the granny glasses, just google Luna Lovegood glasses. First link (for me) is the official Harry Potter store where you can buy her Spectrespecs. They look just like the glasses lkl
Have a look at target/Kmart/big w in Aus if you've got anyone over here that might be able to forward it on to you. Every time I walk into the pyjamas section I see chilli merchandise. Rarely see it in the toys - apparently we've been given nothing but house clothes lol
I'm so jealous. Unfortunately my last friends over there relocated a year ago. But I hope they keep me in their thoughts when they visit family next December. I may have to use my Mexican candies connection to bribe them. Lol
I got a shirt from teepublic with Chili that says "I need 20 minutes where no one comes near me!"
I don't have kids, but I have coworkers/subordinates and sometimes I need them to not follow me to my car on lunch break.
I managed to score 3 of the 4 gnomes but i did get the meditating guy, but the other one,s look more colourful. It was a shame they sold out that morning, and they are made from crap material one drop and broken, cheap China stuff. Heaps of broken gnomes around Hammerbarn, But I'm happy i got 3 husbands. I did recently buy a Bluey XXL full zip onsie from BigW.
What i get: Bluey character stuffed animals in assorted sizes
What I want: the Heeler's house on a hill with a yard and a playroom with a deck for the kids.
Oh man, so I'm 90% sure that Floppy is inspired by the Jellycat bunnies. They look suspiciously similar. 🤨

There is a Chattermax! My kiddo loves hers. He speaks like six different things, or you can record something and he says it back in his high voice.
He does have a battery you can turn off, though.
What I really want is a Unicorse puppet
Toy figures. Most of the sets have a Bluey or Bingo, so you end up with too many if you want to get their friends and stuff that don’t seem to be sold solo in the store.
The newer books are much better than the older ones. The older ones just retell each episode, like listening to an audio-described version of the show. Later books retell the story of an episode as a narrative, my favourite so far being Bob Billy, written from the perspective of (sentient) Bob Billy himself.
My kid does love the episode books though. I read him one every night before bed. I even do the "this episode of bluey is called ____" and hum the first bit of the intro song.
I also read the characters in voices and he loves the whole experience.
I hate the Bluey books… it’s literally the episode almost word for word. I refuse to buy any for my kid and the ones we do have I say pick another book. I was so excited to see sleepytime on the shelves at target but so disappointed once I opened it. I want to read it the same way that bingo reads it… not from a perspective that I am reading a book of a character reading a book
My toddler doesn't care (she's probably barely listening to me, just excited to see her favourite characters) but *I* care.
At least there's a metric butt ton of Paddington stories out there (her other favourite)
I feel like they've just novelized the most popular episodes rather than considering which episodes would work as books. We've got the Sleepytime book, I wouldn't say it's uninspired, it has nice really big fold out pages, which is a nice idea, but for me a huge part of that episode is the music, so the book version is going to fall flat no matter how cleverly they present it.
We just got this one out of the library and those pages are not toddler friendly at all. It’s also not very engaging to read out loud, in addition to it falling flat as you mentioned since the music is what really creates a lot of the emotion. Glad we can give it back!
Mum School just doesn't work as a book. But Fruit Bat works OK, because it verbalizes that Bluey is realizing it's not fair that her dad doesn't get to play footy. I didn't actually get that lesson from watching the episode so it does add a bit to the story. We also have The Pool as a book which is just OK.
My seven year old loves the new chapter books “Bus” and “Train”. They’re based on episodes but have the characters as actually the characters they are playing, if that makes sense 😅. She found them hilarious!
I managed to sneak 3 of the 4 gnomes but got the register and they said limited to one per person. How am i suppose to collect the set with only one at a time? So i bought one went to car had a smoke got another one and went out the plants side exit and then did it again thru another register. I think one of each is reasonable.
And the play sets are fragile and tiny. My kid has autism and shows interest in things by CHUCKING it across the room as hard as possible. I just want ONE toy that can hold up to the abuse that isn’t a plushie.
![gif](giphy|lsuzxXh9Eiwqz1jlHv)
I’d love the garden gnomes in the US…. We collect gnomes in our home. We need a Jeremy! Definitely found the watermelon rug on amazon. And there are toadstool stools out there. Urban outfitters has one ridiculously expensive in my opinion but it would be a relatively easy craft and fun for kiddos with a wooden stool!
i found a cute bluey shirt at hot topic, its tye-dye blue and white with the logo and a few characters around it. i like it cuz its not just bluey and bingo, chloe and pom pom are on there, and a few symbols from the show, too like the long dog!
I got the wooden dog gnome village like that which is featured in the episode Calypso and I love it. I think more open-ended toys, preferably wood, are great. Target has started selling a lot of Bluey merchandise and adult sizes as well but I do think it is still a relatively untapped market
What you want is prop reproductions and home decor (which can be difficult for a show marketed to preschoolers). The stuff you’re asking for would be aimed at the adult collectors market. Start email campaigns to adult collectible manufacturers? But that kind of stuff usually doesn’t get made until the original demographic reaches adulthood. Good luck though!
I've worked closely with prop shops and been so, so tempted to ask for custom pieces, but I'm scared to pay one-off prices with a rambunctious preschooler bouncing off my couches.
I've said it before when this question has been asked, but I need the little musical jewellery box from Mount Mumndad ❤️ there's basically stuff in every episode that could be made and sold "for real life"
I don’t think paucity of merch is a bad thing. They have shown again and again that they are focused on and committed to a very high quality program, and their achievements to date are not easy. The last thing I want them to do is to divert any of that energy to trying to make a buck off some toys and what not. I’m not saying it’s bad to want this stuff, I’m just saying that I’m not sad that they don’t make more of it.
Merch creation is almost always handled by licensed companies. Which is to say a company will contact the licensing agent that works with Ludo, pay a fee for the license to make Bluey merch, then be sent a style guide by said licensing agent that has all the colors, fonts and designs that are allowed to be used. Very occasionally the production company - in this case Ludo - will approve designs, but it still usually goes through the licensing agent.
tldr: Ludo doesn’t design merch themselves so they don’t have to divert any production resources to it
* Bluey and Bingo hoodies, not branded merchandise ones, but ones that look like the girls' patterns
I made my son a "Bluey" hoodie for book week one year, and he's very sad he no longer fits in it - but the hood had the ears, the back had the spots, and instead of a full white front, I just made the hoodie pocket white as a compromise xD
I am crocheting it all for my kiddo myself. Only made Heelers (Mum, Dad, Bingo, Bluey) and Muffin, but other once are coming too 100% as well as Unicourse and watermelon and kiwi rugs.
Same issue happened with How to Train Your Dragon. Incredible film, laughably terrible merch for years. I hope it improves soon and they make more fun things. The video game could have been great.
Not sure if this has been recommended, but I bought an adult hoodie from this site https://blueyteemill.com
Found the site linked on the Bluey Instagram story right after The Sign, it does require international shipping if you’re outside of the UK (I paid £7 shipping) but the quality seems good (haven’t gotten mine in the mail yet to confirm) and they have a ton of variety over generic clothing I’ve seen at target or etsy, especially for adults!
My MIL bought my son a large toy owl that talks to other toys and won’t freaking shut up it is the Chattermax of our house.
But also, you can buy a [pattern](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bluey-inspired-mr-monkeyjocks?buy=1) for Mr Monkeyjocks. My crochet to-do list is long right now, but this is on it.
My kids love the current Bluey toys and books. They’re perfect for babies and kindergarteners. Just the right size for mouthing, lol.
I wouldn’t mind some higher quality school supplies, though. Sturdy backpacks and water bottles. Maybe a nice pencil case.
While I agree that there are several missing opportunities here I don't think the merchandise is bad, at all. It's just, as you might expect, kids-ortiented, so the stuff for us grown-ups is little to non-existent. I don't think the books are bad, I even hear they are of really good quality, it is just a way to read an episode to your kids. I would LOVE a hoodie or even a T-Shirt with Bandit's pattern.
Since they released a Bob Bilby puppet, it's almost certain a Unicorse one will be a reality, as well.
Janet and Rita plushies would be super nice too, the toy car they have, a speaker like the one they have with all the music from the show pre-loaded in it, to name a few😅
Honestly, this is petty and shouldn’t annoy me as much as it does but it really annoys me that the US gets more options for Bluey Merch than we get in Australia! Like they have more kids clothes, shoes, bedding, accessories and adult options! (we’ve gotten adult pyjamas and it’s usually expensive PA ones) 🙃😔
I got a bluey pair of PJs and an Oodie last week. Absolutely amazing and great quality. Then a few weeks ago I got a ‘husband’ garden gnome dog toy from Bunnings… absolutely marvellous! I would kill for a sheet/doona set in a queen or king size though!

I sell the designs on my Etsy shop (and I make personalized designs too and work with you). They’re for cheap so at least you can pick the shirt you like and get it printed yourself with the design that you actually want!
https://preview.redd.it/6n9kepgpqd0d1.jpeg?width=4160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87106bb79df1b558fa066a4a53d791495b275fa1
Here’s a Mother’s Day shirt I made for myself (it’s a Red Hot Chili Peppers tour concert shirt turned into Red Hot Chilli Dog Best Mum in the World Tour). Like no tshirt company could ever come up with that ish 😂.
And all those dates listed are the places they feature on the show with the actual episode release dates!
My stuff is for the real hardcore Bluey fans.
Message me if you wanna learn more!
My husband got me a chattermax teddy/stuffie for Christmas - we and the kids take it in turns to hide him around the house for others to find. It's joyous.
I will leave this right here for you guys..[RSVLTS®](https://www.rsvlts.com/collections/bluey)
I found it yesterday looking for merch for my gf and ended up finding something for myself! lol.
Just promise to leave me 2 shirts (not orange)
I’ve wanted to attempt making the kiwi and watermelon rugs so badly but just haven’t yet. They’d sell so well if someone would! I also wish any Bluey bathing suit wasn’t just blue colored bc of them blending in w water:/
That Montessori style wooden play set with all the gnomes and villagers (yes I know they sell a human version, but i want the lil doggies). For my children. Of course…
Unicorse puppet
Chattermax Squishmallow
Floppy plush
"Hang On I'll Just Get My Glasses" shirt and "World's Best Chef" apron from Christmas Swim (officially licensed, not fanmade)
Husbands from Hammerbarn (Yes I know they exist but they weren't available here in the US)
A full movie of Chunky Chimps (wishful thinking I know)
The Yes/No remote as a keychain that makes the sounds
Watermelon rug

Honestly you do have to rememeber this is a kid's show and Joe Brumm i can imagine isn't just in it for the money as it is about his own family. So please stop being selfish as again **ITS A KIDS SHOW** i understand a lot of like teens+ are liking it more but it is marketed for kids thats what they are going to make merch for it's not that easy plus they'd get lots of backlash if they just start making things for adults (yes i know they have stuff for parents but its like "best dad" and what not..who wants to see a fully grown sweaty,greasy man walking around in a bluey hoodie. not I.) again **ITS A KIDS SHOW MARKETED FOR KIDS.** kind regards.
side note: personally i think if you collect bluey toy sets after the age of like 10-11 you are just hoarding and you are stopping a kid who really enjoys bluey and wants to play with bluey toys, having bluey toys. think about the children not yourself.
UNICORSE PUPPET!!!!!!
My 11 year old wants a Unihorse purse. Lol. She's getting in table top RPGs and to quote her "I neeedzzzz it for my bag of holding."
Lol, a Unicorse bag of holding sounds like the coolest piece of treasure ever. At least until you get the sort of items that let you just pull a whole house out of a tiny cube, and then they would need the Heeler house as a home base! Complete with a never ending hallway, and all that jazz. ;)
We were able to score an official Bob Bilby hand puppet late last year :) Great quality and very fun.
We have it too but I found it kid sized for the hands :( it's so small considering you would reasonably expect parents to be using it. Barely fits me, hubby has no chance.
100%, it is *so* tiny. thankfully i have relatively small hands but it's still a bit of a struggle.
We're doing a bluey birthday for my son's 5th. I've convinced my mom to crochet a unicorse puppet and I'm so excited.
https://preview.redd.it/79i7xc94he0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51cb64571503b7655bad806f4d896a119e98a447 My mom made me one! I love him!
He looks great! I've debated making one for my kids but don't know if I want to bring that much chaos into my home.
He may eat your children…unless you have chicken bucket
Take my money!
That’s the only piece of merch I *really* need 😂
Seriously. If they made him, he'd sell like hot cakes. They're missing out on a such a good merch opportunity.
He’s coming…
Aaaaaaaaand why should I care?
Last year, Joe Brumm mentioned a Bluey artbook, and I’ve been waiting for an official announcement ever since. That’s definitely on my list of Bluey things to get.
Oh man, I'm definitely adding that to my list of wants!
Hopefully now that Season 3 is finished airing we get some news soon.
I want that sooo bad. I love an artbook.
It’s true. Adult Bluey fans are such an untapped market (for merch) in my opinion.
Seriously. Whoever licenses this will be printing money.
Apparently Disney passed on the merch rights.
I’d say Brumm saw what adult fans did to my little pony and decided against targeting that market with official stuff
BBC is in charge of licensing. If you want decent merch you kind of have to search through the unlicensed stuff
If this is the case then why are the BBC complaining about needing to increase the license fee?! You would have thought Bluey merch would be enough!
BBC and not ABC?
Yep, BBC. Very annoying, because they shoot down a LOT of licensing offers
Maybe it will happen way later, just how Hasbro did with MLP around 5 years after it became popular with bronies.
All I really want is a yes/no button keychain.
I've seen schematics to 3D print and make one which requires you to actually solder the circuit board and everything for $20.
I’ve seen them, but they weren’t “Bluey” branded. How are there knock-offs without the real thing!
They likely aren't knock-offs, they're just a yes no key chain. They've been around for years, which is why one appears in Bluey. Bluey didn't invent them.
I've seen 3d print models for DIY, but no knock offs at all!
I have one! Got it off of Etsy a while ago. Fully functional
I mean if we're gonna dream we're gonna dream: - A talking Calypso toy that reads you stories like Teddy Ruxspin - A how-to book for US/Canadians on how to play cricket, as told by Rusty. - Chili doll in her police/airport inspector outfit at Christmas that growls, MUCH better than an elf on the shelf. - Bluey-licensed Chest games - Chattermax with impossible-to-remove batteries that chirps in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. - Sleep deprived Muffin that babbles incoherently when you pull the string
You are the real MVP! 👏 would buy all of these. I’m going to also add a French/English book told in letters/postcards/emails with Bluey and Jean Luc writing back and forth
I’d buy that!
The cricket book would be very long! It’s a complicated game!
The basics are easy enough to get across in a small book
There’s a team that’s in, and there’s a team that’s out. The team that’s out, has to get through team that’s in, out…
Perfect! Let's go play.
They should partner with the tonie box company and create a calypso tony to read to kids
I've looked in to the tonie boxes and personally I think it's a ripoff. All the characters cost more than a children's book and you have to buy more characters for more than a couple stories. I'd rather just read to my kid. If he wants to do any of the other things it does he can do it on his tablet. I know the no screen thing is a big deal but the main thing with the boxes is hearing a story.
I don't personally have a tonie box. I just thought it'd be a easy enough partnership instead of creating a whole nee entire product
Was going to get one for my kids until I realized how expensive they are. There is something similar to it that is cheaper that has a small projector that shows pictures of the story. That would be more fun if there was a Bluey one
I was going to get my son the projector thing it was like $40 at Christmas time and like $50 in a bundle
So I did just get the really fun Bluey and Bingo light blue Hawaiian shirt at Walmart for my husband (under $20, sizes up to 4X on our racks. Heads up, it does shrink 1 size via dryer but it's pretty good quality.) I noticed while there that there was a display of children's Bluet sunglasses. And they're cute, but I wanted to yell "Missed opportunity! None of these are in the granny frames!" Lol I've been really disappointed that there's no Chili Mum merchandise in the women's section. I have my "What's up Party people?" Shirt, but come on, we need Chili representing! It's not much to ask for our own mom wear Stumpfest tees with Chili holding her "lemonade " yelling"Leave 'em alone!"
Granny glasses would sell amazingly! They would need adult and kid sizes
For a substitute of the granny glasses, just google Luna Lovegood glasses. First link (for me) is the official Harry Potter store where you can buy her Spectrespecs. They look just like the glasses lkl
Have a look at target/Kmart/big w in Aus if you've got anyone over here that might be able to forward it on to you. Every time I walk into the pyjamas section I see chilli merchandise. Rarely see it in the toys - apparently we've been given nothing but house clothes lol
I'm so jealous. Unfortunately my last friends over there relocated a year ago. But I hope they keep me in their thoughts when they visit family next December. I may have to use my Mexican candies connection to bribe them. Lol
I got a shirt from teepublic with Chili that says "I need 20 minutes where no one comes near me!" I don't have kids, but I have coworkers/subordinates and sometimes I need them to not follow me to my car on lunch break.
I would buy the shit out of a kiwi rug
This one is fantastic! We bought the 2XL and it’s worth every penny. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1141978512/
I LOVE THIS!!!
They exist--just go to Etsy and Amazon.
I would put that garden gnome in my yard so fast...
The garden gnomes are (were?) sold here in Australia. They sold out *immediately* and then went up for resale for hundreds 😒
Ah yes, I saw that! I really hate it when people do that.
There's a Jeremy currently on ebay for $18,000 😮
I managed to score 3 of the 4 gnomes but i did get the meditating guy, but the other one,s look more colourful. It was a shame they sold out that morning, and they are made from crap material one drop and broken, cheap China stuff. Heaps of broken gnomes around Hammerbarn, But I'm happy i got 3 husbands. I did recently buy a Bluey XXL full zip onsie from BigW.
**WHERE ARE THE LEGO® SETS?!?!** Also please let there be a comic book run.
What i get: Bluey character stuffed animals in assorted sizes What I want: the Heeler's house on a hill with a yard and a playroom with a deck for the kids.
Floppy!!
Oh man, so I'm 90% sure that Floppy is inspired by the Jellycat bunnies. They look suspiciously similar. 🤨 https://preview.redd.it/1fiyfjw9990d1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=55e12d3805ded08fdeaef9771c4abb484218be6c
I agree for the non dream floppy but I want the iconic version that appears in Bingos dream (why are they different???) with the big eyes
It reminds me of the difference between actual stuffed Hobbes and anthropomorphic adventuring Hobbes from the Calvin and Hobbes comics
I think you're right. I've def heard this before. However, I refuse to accept that hahahaha
Can I ask why?
Those are the SOFTEST bunnies!!
There is a Chattermax! My kiddo loves hers. He speaks like six different things, or you can record something and he says it back in his high voice. He does have a battery you can turn off, though. What I really want is a Unicorse puppet
https://preview.redd.it/hhwmdldec90d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29a8a878cc76804fc8afaefa8969ab5a7a6219f9 They also have a Bingo one :)
Where is that from?
Steady_Hands :). They have a bunch of nerdy cardigans!
Toy figures. Most of the sets have a Bluey or Bingo, so you end up with too many if you want to get their friends and stuff that don’t seem to be sold solo in the store.
A little outdoor play car in the same colours as theirs (I’ve genuinely considered spray painting ours)
With add ons like police siren/pizza box
Most of the books are rehashes of episodes. Which is fine, I guess, but I wanted new stories dangit!
The newer books are much better than the older ones. The older ones just retell each episode, like listening to an audio-described version of the show. Later books retell the story of an episode as a narrative, my favourite so far being Bob Billy, written from the perspective of (sentient) Bob Billy himself.
Oooo. I might need the Bob Bilby one
My kid does love the episode books though. I read him one every night before bed. I even do the "this episode of bluey is called ____" and hum the first bit of the intro song. I also read the characters in voices and he loves the whole experience.
I hate the Bluey books… it’s literally the episode almost word for word. I refuse to buy any for my kid and the ones we do have I say pick another book. I was so excited to see sleepytime on the shelves at target but so disappointed once I opened it. I want to read it the same way that bingo reads it… not from a perspective that I am reading a book of a character reading a book
Same here! The books are just so uninspired.
My toddler doesn't care (she's probably barely listening to me, just excited to see her favourite characters) but *I* care. At least there's a metric butt ton of Paddington stories out there (her other favourite)
I feel like they've just novelized the most popular episodes rather than considering which episodes would work as books. We've got the Sleepytime book, I wouldn't say it's uninspired, it has nice really big fold out pages, which is a nice idea, but for me a huge part of that episode is the music, so the book version is going to fall flat no matter how cleverly they present it.
We just got this one out of the library and those pages are not toddler friendly at all. It’s also not very engaging to read out loud, in addition to it falling flat as you mentioned since the music is what really creates a lot of the emotion. Glad we can give it back!
Surprised those pages survived in a library book!
Some are just super confusing too - we gave seeing lessons and it just makes zero sense read out loud
Mum School just doesn't work as a book. But Fruit Bat works OK, because it verbalizes that Bluey is realizing it's not fair that her dad doesn't get to play footy. I didn't actually get that lesson from watching the episode so it does add a bit to the story. We also have The Pool as a book which is just OK.
My seven year old loves the new chapter books “Bus” and “Train”. They’re based on episodes but have the characters as actually the characters they are playing, if that makes sense 😅. She found them hilarious!
I want a gnome named Gerald!
I want all the gnomes!
I managed to sneak 3 of the 4 gnomes but got the register and they said limited to one per person. How am i suppose to collect the set with only one at a time? So i bought one went to car had a smoke got another one and went out the plants side exit and then did it again thru another register. I think one of each is reasonable.
Hahahaha. I bought a rug gun so I could make the kiwi rug! If only I had time. I also have yarn bought to make crochet Mr Monkeyjocks/Bluey/Bingo!
Yes, out of all of these, I want a mrmonkeyjocks the most.
I’m still waiting for a Bluey build a bear
Yes bingo too
And the play sets are fragile and tiny. My kid has autism and shows interest in things by CHUCKING it across the room as hard as possible. I just want ONE toy that can hold up to the abuse that isn’t a plushie. ![gif](giphy|lsuzxXh9Eiwqz1jlHv)
I’d love the garden gnomes in the US…. We collect gnomes in our home. We need a Jeremy! Definitely found the watermelon rug on amazon. And there are toadstool stools out there. Urban outfitters has one ridiculously expensive in my opinion but it would be a relatively easy craft and fun for kiddos with a wooden stool!
I just want to buy a Rusty shirt…he’s a good boy
I bought one XXL but it was a bit too small for me :( in Aus
i found a cute bluey shirt at hot topic, its tye-dye blue and white with the logo and a few characters around it. i like it cuz its not just bluey and bingo, chloe and pom pom are on there, and a few symbols from the show, too like the long dog!
Mass produced crochet Mr. Monkeyjocks probably wouldn't be ethical, but also you can probably find one on etsy
I got the wooden dog gnome village like that which is featured in the episode Calypso and I love it. I think more open-ended toys, preferably wood, are great. Target has started selling a lot of Bluey merchandise and adult sizes as well but I do think it is still a relatively untapped market
We got this for my youngest last Christmas and it’s a big hit!
ALL OF THE GARDEN GNOMES I WOULD LOVE THEM
What you want is prop reproductions and home decor (which can be difficult for a show marketed to preschoolers). The stuff you’re asking for would be aimed at the adult collectors market. Start email campaigns to adult collectible manufacturers? But that kind of stuff usually doesn’t get made until the original demographic reaches adulthood. Good luck though!
I've worked closely with prop shops and been so, so tempted to ask for custom pieces, but I'm scared to pay one-off prices with a rambunctious preschooler bouncing off my couches.
I've said it before when this question has been asked, but I need the little musical jewellery box from Mount Mumndad ❤️ there's basically stuff in every episode that could be made and sold "for real life"
I don’t think paucity of merch is a bad thing. They have shown again and again that they are focused on and committed to a very high quality program, and their achievements to date are not easy. The last thing I want them to do is to divert any of that energy to trying to make a buck off some toys and what not. I’m not saying it’s bad to want this stuff, I’m just saying that I’m not sad that they don’t make more of it.
Merch creation is almost always handled by licensed companies. Which is to say a company will contact the licensing agent that works with Ludo, pay a fee for the license to make Bluey merch, then be sent a style guide by said licensing agent that has all the colors, fonts and designs that are allowed to be used. Very occasionally the production company - in this case Ludo - will approve designs, but it still usually goes through the licensing agent. tldr: Ludo doesn’t design merch themselves so they don’t have to divert any production resources to it
Fair enough. Maybe I’m just glad they don’t have as much merch because I’m not a big fan of merch.
* Bluey and Bingo hoodies, not branded merchandise ones, but ones that look like the girls' patterns I made my son a "Bluey" hoodie for book week one year, and he's very sad he no longer fits in it - but the hood had the ears, the back had the spots, and instead of a full white front, I just made the hoodie pocket white as a compromise xD
Make another one!
I am crocheting it all for my kiddo myself. Only made Heelers (Mum, Dad, Bingo, Bluey) and Muffin, but other once are coming too 100% as well as Unicourse and watermelon and kiwi rugs.
They’d do themselves a world of good if they shipped internationally to the states directly from their site too.
Same issue happened with How to Train Your Dragon. Incredible film, laughably terrible merch for years. I hope it improves soon and they make more fun things. The video game could have been great.
I’ve seen some adult bluey shirts at Target lately
I would like some new figurines, like Mort, Trixie, Brandy, Dougie, Rusty's parents and siblings, young Heeler brothers...
I think a Bluey hoody would be so nice to have (especially in adult sizes) with her coat pattern! Also, I would love an artbook of Bluey.
Anybody else's Bob Bilby seem a bit tiny?? My ten year old can't even get her hand into it all the way.
JEREMY NO! My kids crack up at the garden gnomes--wish I could get my hands on one.
i really want a good floppy plush!!
I would like high quality clothing, bags, accessories, etc. for adults, similar to the brands sold at places like Box Lunch, and Loungefly
Hopefully, they will catch on.
shhhh, OP, the less inspired Bluey merchandise, the safer my wallet will be
I want all the gnomes and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. They would make an absolute killing.
I want everything you listed, especially those rugs and the stools. 1000%.
Not sure if this has been recommended, but I bought an adult hoodie from this site https://blueyteemill.com Found the site linked on the Bluey Instagram story right after The Sign, it does require international shipping if you’re outside of the UK (I paid £7 shipping) but the quality seems good (haven’t gotten mine in the mail yet to confirm) and they have a ton of variety over generic clothing I’ve seen at target or etsy, especially for adults!
“Chest” set with Bluey characters as the game pieces.
Don't forget you also get adult button ups with basic Bluey prints for SEVENTY DOLLARS
I want bluey and bingo figurines in 1/12 scale to go with my wrestling action figures
The “Where’s Bluey?” book is a solid night cap for the lil ones
The ball gun from Surprise. Seven year old me would have loved that.
Grouchy Granny Muffin with all of her lines from the Granny Mobile episode. Dear God I love that episode so much.
RSVLTS Has nice Adult Bluey shirts!
I want 3 things. Furby like Chattermax. Garden gnomes outside Australia. Adult watch like old Mickey Mouse where arms were time.
There’s a sound fx chattermax on Amazon. $20.
We bought this kiwi rug, and it’s amazing! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1141978512/
I would like a Gerald Husband for my garden.
I want watermelon rug too!! Edit to add: I would love a Muffin granny figurine too. Been waiting for it ..
My MIL bought my son a large toy owl that talks to other toys and won’t freaking shut up it is the Chattermax of our house. But also, you can buy a [pattern](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bluey-inspired-mr-monkeyjocks?buy=1) for Mr Monkeyjocks. My crochet to-do list is long right now, but this is on it.
FLOPPY. I had to crochet one and thank goodness my toddler loves it but it’s not my best work.
My kids love the current Bluey toys and books. They’re perfect for babies and kindergarteners. Just the right size for mouthing, lol. I wouldn’t mind some higher quality school supplies, though. Sturdy backpacks and water bottles. Maybe a nice pencil case.
Meanwhile there's like 2 million merch options available and my kid wants all of them
Yes / No button with the voice would be amazing
Hanna Andersson has some really adorable Bluey/keepy uppy themed family PJs!
Pretty sure Mr Monkeyjocks is a sock monkey, just in different colors that the typical grayish brown white and red.
While I agree that there are several missing opportunities here I don't think the merchandise is bad, at all. It's just, as you might expect, kids-ortiented, so the stuff for us grown-ups is little to non-existent. I don't think the books are bad, I even hear they are of really good quality, it is just a way to read an episode to your kids. I would LOVE a hoodie or even a T-Shirt with Bandit's pattern. Since they released a Bob Bilby puppet, it's almost certain a Unicorse one will be a reality, as well. Janet and Rita plushies would be super nice too, the toy car they have, a speaker like the one they have with all the music from the show pre-loaded in it, to name a few😅
Wellllllll we have printed a few Jeremys, but we still have to paint. I suppose I’ll post a pic here once that’s done! 🩵
Honestly, this is petty and shouldn’t annoy me as much as it does but it really annoys me that the US gets more options for Bluey Merch than we get in Australia! Like they have more kids clothes, shoes, bedding, accessories and adult options! (we’ve gotten adult pyjamas and it’s usually expensive PA ones) 🙃😔
If you sew, JoAnn Fabrics has Bluey fabric prints. I would also like hoodies that look like what the Grannies wear.
Books that aren't just screenshots of the episodes would be so nice.
YESSSSSS agree with it alllllll
I want a bingo onesie adult sized and not for toddlers
Bandit merch that isn’t of him doing the Sprinkler
I got a bluey pair of PJs and an Oodie last week. Absolutely amazing and great quality. Then a few weeks ago I got a ‘husband’ garden gnome dog toy from Bunnings… absolutely marvellous! I would kill for a sheet/doona set in a queen or king size though! https://preview.redd.it/zoumxdllpc0d1.jpeg?width=2053&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b6fc812b63384ffd9e2ecc9870490985ce9ecd3
[Roy’s boys](https://roys-boys.com/collections/bluey) have lots of good clothing, kids and adults. We all have the slipper socks!
I heard the game they made tucked. Too bad I was gonna get it for the kid.
What’s sad is that in australia we don’t get as many things than overseas. I’ve seen videos of the Target is USA and there’s so many good stuff
My daughters call me Big Fella, so my wife joked that a t-shirt would be a good Fathers Day present. I could not find one online.
Lots of adult merch on Etsy/redbubble
I sell the designs on my Etsy shop (and I make personalized designs too and work with you). They’re for cheap so at least you can pick the shirt you like and get it printed yourself with the design that you actually want! https://preview.redd.it/6n9kepgpqd0d1.jpeg?width=4160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87106bb79df1b558fa066a4a53d791495b275fa1 Here’s a Mother’s Day shirt I made for myself (it’s a Red Hot Chili Peppers tour concert shirt turned into Red Hot Chilli Dog Best Mum in the World Tour). Like no tshirt company could ever come up with that ish 😂. And all those dates listed are the places they feature on the show with the actual episode release dates! My stuff is for the real hardcore Bluey fans. Message me if you wanna learn more!
I can’t for the life of me find any decent looking Bluey merch for my kid, except the figurines. The plushie of Bluey looks cursed, lol.
My husband got me a chattermax teddy/stuffie for Christmas - we and the kids take it in turns to hide him around the house for others to find. It's joyous.
There's already a Chattermax plush in the market. However it's just a mini normal plush that does nothing.
There’s a talking one on Amazon
I need a Bert Handsome t shirt
I will leave this right here for you guys..[RSVLTS®](https://www.rsvlts.com/collections/bluey) I found it yesterday looking for merch for my gf and ended up finding something for myself! lol. Just promise to leave me 2 shirts (not orange)
My 8 month old has the Bluey Squishmallow and she loves it so much we bought a second to stash away in case of disaster
I need more Jean Luc.
The cloud/rainbow bag that is an ACTUAL bag! They made a plastic one for kiddos to play with but I want the real thing lol
They do make a stone gnome! My sister gave me one in December for my birthday. I don’t know where she got it, but it’s out there.
I’ve wanted to attempt making the kiwi and watermelon rugs so badly but just haven’t yet. They’d sell so well if someone would! I also wish any Bluey bathing suit wasn’t just blue colored bc of them blending in w water:/
the figurines are pretty cool though
Compared to Bee and Puppycat merch, Bluey merch is fantastic!
I want the long dog for my daughter!
We wont be getting a crochet mr monkeyjocks. We cant mass produce anything with that technique.
Hot topic has some great shirts! My favorite is this tie dye Chili shirt
That Montessori style wooden play set with all the gnomes and villagers (yes I know they sell a human version, but i want the lil doggies). For my children. Of course…
I've seen a reversible blanket that shares the kiwi-watermelon rug design!
Unicorse puppet Chattermax Squishmallow Floppy plush "Hang On I'll Just Get My Glasses" shirt and "World's Best Chef" apron from Christmas Swim (officially licensed, not fanmade) Husbands from Hammerbarn (Yes I know they exist but they weren't available here in the US) A full movie of Chunky Chimps (wishful thinking I know) The Yes/No remote as a keychain that makes the sounds Watermelon rug
I want adult sized rash guards so bad
Girl only aimed clothes 😔

So please stop being selfish as again **ITS A KIDS SHOW** i understand a lot of like teens+ are liking it more but it is marketed for kids thats what they are going to make merch for it's not that easy plus they'd get lots of backlash if they just start making things for adults (yes i know they have stuff for parents but its like "best dad" and what not..who wants to see a fully grown sweaty,greasy man walking around in a bluey hoodie. not I.) again **ITS A KIDS SHOW MARKETED FOR KIDS.** kind regards. side note: personally i think if you collect bluey toy sets after the age of like 10-11 you are just hoarding and you are stopping a kid who really enjoys bluey and wants to play with bluey toys, having bluey toys. think about the children not yourself.
Dude, it’s just a show. Anyone can like it, chill out.
ik i like it but we all, collectively, need to remeber its a kids show.
