Summary
It’s almost Halloween and to a lot of you, this year that means one thing and one thing only -Dragon Age: The Veilguardis a little more than a week away. Ahead of its highly-anticipated launch, a couple of plushes and pins have beenrevealed at Sansheeand are available to pre-order ahead of The Veilguard’s launch. However, some Dragon Age fans aren’t all that impressed with Manfred’s plush design.
News that two Dragon Age characters have been turned into merch ready for The Veilguard’s release has beenshared on the series' subreddit, and excitement at the realization that Manfred and Assan are now plushes quickly turned to disappointment for a lot of you. Many of the responses to the post have noted Manfred’s plush doesn’t accurately reflect the skeletal assistant’s in-game design.
Sanshee’s Manfred plush has been described as looking “low effort” by some, andwith it costing $41.99when combined with its matching pin, it’s unsurprising quite a few people will seemingly be giving it a miss. It has been noted that even though Manfred’s plush isn’t necessarily faithful to how he looks in the games, it does fit the “humanoid template” Sanshee uses for most of its other bipedal character plushes.
Manfred And Assan Have Been Turned Into Plushes And Pins By Sanshee
One Of Them Is A Lot More Popular Than The Other
Even thoughthe Assan plush and pin set is just as expensiveas the unpopular Manfred one, Dragon Age fans don’t appear to have any such issue with what Sanshee has done to The Veilguard’s griffon. Not bound by the restrictions of being human-shaped, Sanshee’s Assan plush is far more unique and closer to how the creature will look in The Veilguard. Nothing but positive reactions to the Assan plush as far as I can see with people prepared to pay its lofty asking price.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Assan Collector’s Plush
Sanshee has turned Dragon Age’s Griffon Assan into what has proved to be a very popular plush. The plush also has a matching pin (sold separately) and comes with an exclusive Assan trading card.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Manfred Collector’s Plush
Dragon Age’s skeletal assistant has been turned into a plush in preparation for his return to the series in The Veilguard. Created by Sanshee, the plush has a matching pin (sold separately) and comes with a Manfred trading card.
Both Assan and Manfred’s plushes are available now exclusively at Sanshee. Even though they are listed as pin and plush sets, the $41.99 price tag is just for each plush. There are checkboxes below the “add to cart” button on each store page that let you select whether you want the plush, the pin, or both.The pins are $12.99 each, but if you buy a matching pin and plush,you get the pair for $46.73, $8.25 less than if you were to buy a pin and a plush separately.
