Quick answer
If you want the softest fabric we've found and a playful pastel look, choose the Marshmallow Bubblegum Unicorn. If you prefer a muted, glam style with a bling alicorn and easy machine washing, the Putty Blush Unicorn is your pick.
Softness vs. style: what matters most
The Marshmallow Bubblegum Unicorn is made from the softest fabric Mary Meyer could find, making it a top choice for cuddling and sensory comfort. Its bubblegum pink color is bright and cheerful, perfect for imaginary adventures.
The Putty Blush Unicorn features signature blush Putty etched fur and a cream mane and tail, giving it a muted, sophisticated look. The bling alicorn adds a touch of glam that stands out in a nursery or playroom.
Care and durability trade-offs
Machine washing is a key difference. The Putty Blush Unicorn is machine washable, which is a practical advantage for parents dealing with spills and drool. The Marshmallow Bubblegum Unicorn's care instructions are not specified, so if easy cleaning is a priority, the Putty option may be safer.
Both plush toys are 13 inches tall, a good size for hugging and carrying. The Marshmallow Zoo line is known for winning the 'what fabulous fabric!' award from parents, so its softness is a proven highlight.
How to choose: trade-offs to consider
- Softness first: Choose the Marshmallow Bubblegum Unicorn if your child is sensory-sensitive or you want the softest possible fabric for cuddling.
- Style and care: Pick the Putty Blush Unicorn if you prefer a muted, glam aesthetic and need a machine-washable toy for easy cleanup. Check the care label on the Marshmallow unicorn before washing, since machine washing is only confirmed for the Putty.
- Gift occasion: For a baby shower or first birthday, both work; the Marshmallow's playful pink suits a cheerful nursery, while the Putty's elegant blush fits a more neutral, stylish theme.
