What Is Tutulong? A Complete Introduction to the Series

Tutulong is a plush blind box series centered on fantasy creature characters — primarily cat-dragon and rabbit-dragon hybrids. It has built a following among soft toy collectors who want something more detailed than a typical stuffed animal but prefer plush over rigid figures. Here's what the series is, how it works, and what to know before buying.

What Kind of Blind Box Is Tutulong?

Tutulong blind boxes are made from polyester plush fabric over a PVC base. The result is soft to the touch but holds its shape well enough to display on a shelf. Each character follows the same blind box format — you choose a series, but don't know which specific figure you'll get until you open the box.

The size range runs from about 5 cm to 16 cm, depending on the series. Smaller figures work well on a desk; larger ones are better suited to a shelf or as a standalone piece.

What Are the Main Series?

Each Tutulong release is built around a specific theme that runs consistently through the full character lineup:

• Cat & Dragon Fantasy — the original series; cat-eared dragon characters that define the Tutulong look

• Fantasy Forest Tea Party — forest creature characters in small formal outfits, warm color palette

• Honey Sweetheart — pastel tones with star and honey motifs; one of the more popular releases

• Colorful Crystal — iridescent design elements applied to the character forms

Later releases such as V3 and V4 update the colorways and add finishing details like lace trim and gradient dyeing, while keeping the same core character designs.

How Are the Boxes Structured?

Each series typically includes six regular characters and one hidden figure. Regular characters are distributed at roughly equal rates. The hidden figure — usually a special colorway or variant design, such as the Butterfly Tutulong — appears at around a 1-in-72 rate or lower depending on the series.

Single boxes are generally priced between $25 and $35. Full boxes of six or twelve are available at a discount for collectors who want to complete a set.

How Does Tutulong Compare to Other Plush Blind Boxes?

Most plush blind boxes use simple embroidery and basic fabric construction. Tutulong puts more work into the surface finish — gradient dyes, lace details, layered color applications — which brings it closer in detail level to figure blind boxes while keeping the soft format.

The character designs are also consistent across releases. The cat-dragon and rabbit-dragon proportions stay recognizable from one series to the next, so collectors who follow the series over time will find each new release familiar rather than starting from scratch.

Which Series Should You Start With?

Cat & Dragon Fantasy is the most straightforward starting point. It's the series that established the core character design and is usually the most widely available.

If you prefer a warmer aesthetic, Fantasy Forest Tea Party is a good alternative. If you want something with more elaborate finishing work, Honey Star Drops and Colorful Crystal are worth looking at.

Before buying, it's worth reviewing the full character lineup for a series rather than just the most prominent designs. The blind box selection guide covers how to evaluate a series before committing to a purchase.

What to Know Before Buying

Materials and care: The plush surface requires spot-cleaning rather than machine washing, especially for series with gradient dyes or lace details.

Sizing: Check dimensions before buying. The difference between a 5 cm figure and a 16 cm one is significant for display purposes, and sizes vary within a single series.

Hidden figures: The 1-in-72 rate means a full case doesn't guarantee one. If a specific hidden figure is the goal, factor that into your budget.

FAQ

Is Tutulong a plush toy or a figure? 

It's a plush blind box. The exterior is soft fabric, but the PVC base gives it enough structure to hold its shape on a shelf. It's softer and more tactile than a rigid figure, but more detailed and display-ready than a standard stuffed animal.

How big are the figures? 

Sizes range from 5 to 16 cm depending on the series. Smaller figures in the 5–8 cm range are compact enough for a desk, while larger ones at 12–16 cm work better as shelf pieces. Check the product listing for exact measurements before buying.

What is the hidden figure? 

Each series includes one hidden figure — usually a special colorway or variant of one of the regular characters. Common examples include the Butterfly Tutulong. The pull rate is roughly 1-in-6 or lower, and it varies by series. Buying a full box doesn't guarantee you'll get one.

Can I collect multiple series? 

Yes, and many collectors do. Because the core character designs stay consistent across releases, figures from different series tend to look cohesive together on a shelf. Mixing series is a common way to build out a display without committing to a single theme.

Where can I buy Tutulong? 

You can find current Tutulong blind box series at Calembou. Stock varies by release, so it's worth checking regularly if a specific series is sold out.

Conclusion

Tutulong is a plush blind box series with more design detail than most soft collectibles. The fantasy creature characters stay consistent across releases, the finishing quality is higher than average for the format, and the size range makes it adaptable for different display setups. If the aesthetic appeals to you, it's a series that holds up well over multiple releases.
