An officially licensed Caitlin Clark plush hit Target this week.Â
The new plush comes from the brand Bleacher Creatures, which specializes in licensed plush from sports franchises and some Marvel IPs. The plush version of the Indiana Fever player is dressed in her true-to-life No. 22 jersey and signature headband. Like most of Bleacher Creatures’ products, the plush is rendered with exaggerated anime-like features.Â
Bleacher Creatures’ new plush stands 8 inches tall and retails for $19.99 on the company website or $22.99 at Target.
WNBA merchandise sales have seen a tremendous boom, rising 500% year-over-year, thanks in large part to the unprecedented star power and success of players like Clark and Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky. The new plush also hits the market at a time when sports licensing is expected to grow and continue to be an important trend for collector markets and cross-generational sales. Â
