The promotional creeper plushie from Mickey 17 is the film’s real star. The baby aliens from the new movie are small, pillbug-like creatures with a soft, rounded shape designed to be irresistibly cute—a look that contrasts with the film’s dark setting. Like its sci-fi counterparts, including the Dune sandworm or super pig Okja, creeper is a scene-stealer—both in the movie and IRL. And all over social media, the film’s stars are showing off a stuffed creeper—which has fans already obsessed and begging to buy it. (It is, unfortunately, not official merch yet.) It makes sense—Gen Z has turned plush collecting into a full-on trend, with Squishmallows and Jellycats becoming must-haves for comfort and nostalgia. With the viral response to the plushies flooding the comments of promo content, creeper plushies would clearly be a prime merch moment—but one that surely needs to happen sooner than later.
