Flat Eric plush, made to order for you
Remember 1999? A yellow puppet riding in a car, nodding to Flat Beat by Mr. Oizo, and half the world nodding along with him. That was Flat Eric. Some of us never really got over him. Honestly, why should we?
The original 1999 Levi's ad that made Flat Eric famous.
The Eric in that ad was a real puppet, built for Mr. Oizo by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Ours is his soft twin. We sew each Flat Eric plush by hand, one at a time, for fans who want the real look: a shaggy orange body, long bendy yellow arms and legs, a fluffy cream muzzle and that little black nose.
Worth saying plainly: this is a soft toy with no hand inside. He sits on your shelf, slumps on your sofa and gets hugged, but he won't talk back. Think of him as a Flat Eric replica of the famous puppet, made to order just for you.
Make him yours
We don't keep a shelf of ready-made Erics, so there's no Flat Eric doll sitting in a warehouse. Every Flat Eric toy is made to order, and you decide how yours turns out. Keep him classic, or add a twist:
- Any size: a little desk buddy or a big Eric who takes over the sofa.
- Sound module: so he can make some noise.
- LED lights: for the party version.
- Movable limbs: pose him like he's still on that dashboard.
- Other fabrics and colors: stay classic or go wild.
- Embroidery or a printed message: a name, a date, an inside joke.
- Collector's packaging: for gifts and display shelves.
Who is Flat Eric for?
The friend who still hums Flat Beat. The DJ who needs a mascot for the booth. The collector with a shelf full of '90s icons who has been hunting for a Mr. Oizo plush. Or you, because some characters deserve a life off the screen.
Got a different character in mind?
Flat Eric is one of many TV characters we've sewn, next to the other Muppet-style plush we've made. If there's one you love, from an old TV ad, a cartoon, a book or your own sketch, we can make that too. Want a character you can put your hand into and make talk? That's a puppet, and we sew those as well: see our custom puppets. We once sewed a whole family of puppet cats for a TV show. Or bring back a childhood favorite with a lost toy replica.

Flat Eric is all about texture, so we choose fabrics that look and feel like him.
- Soft shaggy fur for his orange body and head.
- Bright yellow plush for those long, floppy arms and legs.
- Soft curly fabric for his cream muzzle.
- The plushest stuffing, so your Flat Eric plushie is a pleasure to hug.
Every seam is sewn with care, so Eric's lazy, lovable charm shows in each stitch. Prefer a different fabric or color? Just ask.
Your handmade Flat Eric plush usually takes 2–4 weeks to make.
That's the time it takes to sew every long limb and get his face exactly right. Handmade toys need a little patience, and you'll see why the moment you unbox him.
Delivery usually takes 7 to 20 business days. It depends on where you live, the courier and the shipping method you choose.
Around holidays couriers get very busy, so your Flat Eric plush may take a bit longer to arrive.
Planning a gift? Order early, so Eric makes it in time for the birthday, the party or the big reveal.
We've been making custom plush toys and puppets since 2009. Tricky characters are our favorite kind: long floppy limbs, a famous face that everyone recognizes, details fans notice right away.
If you don't love your Flat Eric for any reason, tell us within 14 days and we'll give you a full refund.

Why?
No ready-made pattern. Your photo or drawing doesn’t come with one. Our artist builds the pattern from scratch and turns a flat picture into a 3D toy. It’s the hardest and slowest part.
Materials picked for your toy. The right color, fur length and texture. Sometimes we order fabric just for one project.
Sewn by hand. Every piece is cut, sewn, stuffed and finished by hand. The face takes the most time: move an eye a millimeter and the character changes.
You approve it first. When your toy is ready, we send you photos. Something looks off? We fix it before shipping.
One toy, not a thousand. A factory spreads design costs over thousands of copies. Here, all that work goes into one toy: yours.
That’s why prices start at $350. And on a personal order, if you don’t love your toy, you get a full refund.
