Compare the Pim and Charlie Smiling Friends plushies from Youtooz. See which 9-inch collectible fits your style, budget, and shipping region.
Quick answer
If you want the classic optimistic face of Smiling Friends, grab the Pim Plush; if you prefer the deadpan, laid-back vibe, the Charlie Plush is your pick. Both are 9-inch Youtooz plushies, but Charlie costs a bit more.
Design differences that matter
The Pim Plush captures his signature squiggly bulging eyes and thin smile, giving him that perpetually hopeful, slightly unhinged look fans love. Charlie, on the other hand, has small black eyes and a happy yellow smile that stretches under his face—a more subdued, chill expression that matches his personality.
Both are 9 inches tall, so they fit nicely on a desk or shelf. The key difference is the vibe: Pim radiates eager positivity, while Charlie brings a relaxed, almost sarcastic energy. Choose the one that matches your own mood—or your favorite character.
Price and shipping considerations
Charlie Plush is priced at USD 19.79, while Pim Plush is USD 17.99—a difference of about two dollars. If budget is tight, Pim is the more affordable option, but both are reasonably priced for licensed collectibles.
