Quick answer
Choose the Gudetama Egg Toast plush if you want a small, food-themed squishy under $10 that works as a playful desk or breakfast nook companion. Choose the Pusheen Cherry Macaron Squisheen if you prefer a larger, premium-feel plush with a dessert theme and more substantial squish. Both are kawaii collectibles, but they differ in size, price, and squish character.
Size and presence: 5 inches vs 9.5 inches
The Gudetama Egg Toast measures 5 inches, making it a compact plush that fits in a palm or on a small shelf. The Pusheen Cherry Macaron Squisheen is 9.5 inches, so it takes up noticeably more space and feels more like a cuddle-sized item. If you are tight on display space or want a stocking stuffer, the smaller Gudetama has the edge. If you want a plush that anchors a collection or sits comfortably in your arms, the larger Pusheen is the better fit.
Squish feel and materials
Both plush are described as squishy, but the catalog facts point to different constructions. The Gudetama Egg Toast has a velvety-soft plush exterior with a slightly squishy feel. The Pusheen Cherry Macaron Squisheen is made from premium soft plush materials that are squishy, and it is part of the Squisheen line known for a super-squishy texture. If maximum squish is your priority, the Pusheen likely delivers a more pronounced squish. If you prefer a softer, more subdued tactile experience, the Gudetama may suit you.
Design details and collectibility
The Gudetama Egg Toast shows Gudetama, the lazy egg from Sanrio, looking exasperated in the center of a slice of toast. It is a food-themed plush that appeals to kawaii toy collectors and foodies. The Pusheen Cherry Macaron Squisheen features Pusheen clutching a pink-and-white cherry macaron, with pastel pink plush, deep brown whiskers, matching facial embroidery, and pink stripes on her back and tail. Both are collectible food plush, but the Pusheen has more embroidered detail and a dessert theme, while the Gudetama leans into a breakfast theme.

At the catalog price, the Gudetama Egg Toast is USD 8.06 (compared to a USD 13.00 comparison price), and the Pusheen Cherry Macaron Squisheen is USD 17.42 (compared to USD 26.00). The Gudetama is the more budget-friendly option, while the Pusheen costs more but offers a larger size and premium materials.
