Highlights

• Stardew Valley, the beloved life-sim game, is releasing a line of official Junimo pillow plushes that fans can snuggle up with.
• Merchandise company Sanshee has partnered with Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone to create these adorable collectibles, which will begin shipping in Spring 2024.

Beloved by fans of the life-sim genre, Stardew Valley‘s iconic Junimo characters are adored by many, and there is a new official line of Junimo pillow plushes available for players to enjoy. The adorable Junimos in Stardew Valley are considered by many to be the mascots of the game, and fans will soon be able to snuggle up with the incredibly cute creatures.

Since its initial release in 2016, Stardew Valley has become a staple of the life-sim genre. The game places players in the role of a farmer, working to repair their grandfather’s old farm while finding a happy life in the countryside of Pelican Town. Along the way, players can befriend the townspeople and work to repair the Community Center, and, in doing so, the players will encounter the magical apple-shaped creatures known as Junimo.

First announced by merchandise company Sanshee and re-posted by game creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone, Stardew Valley is getting a new line of official Junimo pillow plushes. Sanshee, makers of officially licensed video game and anime merchandise, has previously teamed up with ConcernedApe to make a variety of licensed collectibles and items for Stardew Valley fans. As found on the official Sanshee Stardew Valley merchandise site, the company has pillow plushes of the iconic chickens from the game, along with smaller plushes of NPCs Abigail and Sebastian. The new extra soft Junimo pillow plushes will be available in green, pink, yellow, and blue and are currently scheduled to begin shipping in Spring 2024. They are described as collector’s items intended for ages 14+ and measure 10 inches tall by 10 inches wide. Pre-orders for the new Junimo pillow plush line are open now.

Stardew Valley fans have already begun celebrating on social media, with many sharing their plans to purchase the adorable pillow plushes. One fan in particular noted that they were wary at first, as some companies make unofficial merchandise from various franchises, but seeing that ConcernedApe had shared the post, the commenter knew that the items were officially licensed and thus a must-buy. While the new Junimo pillow plushes are only in the pre-order phase, fans are likely to get their orders in quickly. Earlier this year, ConcernedApe announced a brand-new Stardew Valley Festival of Seasons concert tour which saw tickets selling out in a matter of minutes. As such, interested Stardew fans may want to keep a close eye on the new line of Junimo pillow plushes.

As Stardew Valley continues to be a go-to game for many players, it should come as no surprise that ConcernedApe is working to bring fans more official merchandise. Stardew lovers have previously asked for more collectibles that showcase their love of the game, with many resorting to making their own Stardew Valley fan crafts. With the release of the new Junimo pillow plush line, Stardew Valley fans have even more adorable items to add to their collections.
