Plush Phil 2010

The 2010 Plush Phil is here and boy is he cute! The Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club took matters into their own hands this year when their longstanding relationship with the Ty Company came to an end resulting in the end of a seven-year run of Punxsutawney Phil Beanie Babies.

Not wanting to end the tradition of an annual plush Phil, the Inner Circle, working with an Atlanta-based importer, had their own plush groundhog designed and produced.

A very limited quantity on the 2010 Phil went on sale today, December 17. So far, the response has been surprisingly good. We were all unsure if a Punxsutawney Phil plush that didn′t carry the Ty name would be of interest, but apparently, it′s the "Punxsutawney Phil" part that people love.

While supplies last, the Plush Phil is available at Groundhogstuff.com and at our retail store at 102 West Mahoning Street in Punxsutawney.

By the way, it would make a great stocking stuffer for Christmas!

From the staff at Groundhogstuff, have a wonderful holiday season!
