Fuddlewuddle Elephant (Medium)
Retired: No — currently available
Fuddlewuddle Elephant from the Bashful series is preparing for his future career in nursing, though he's still learning to handle the more delicate aspects of the job. Currently stationed at the Jellycat Hospital, this gentle elephant finds his trunk quite useful for tasks like applying bandages and offering a comforting paw-hold. While his bedside manner could use some polishing—particularly when dealing with clipboards and medical charts—he's always eager to help and once even fainted during a lesson on jellybean injuries. His kind heart and helpful nature make him a wonderful companion when you're feeling under the weather, though he might not be the best choice for taking your temperature!

About Fuddlewuddle Elephant
Fuddlewuddle Elephant is the ruffled-fur cousin of the Bashful line: same seated, weighted-bottom posture that lets him sit upright on a shelf or cot rail, but with the tufted, slightly shaggy pile that gives the whole Fuddlewuddle range its name. Jellycat's own copy puts it best — "in soft chalky-blue, with fuddletastic fur and a big long trunk for sniffing out sandwiches." That chalky blue is worth knowing, because sellers almost always write him up as grey, grey-blue, or simply blue, and searching the wrong word is how people miss him.
He was made across a wide size ladder, from a palm-sized tiny up to a 44cm huge. Our records place the release in the early 2010s; we know the year only approximately and not the day, so it is shown as a range.
Today the UK-coded sizes have dropped off Jellycat's own index across five consecutive checks, while a US medium is still listed. That may mean sold out, retired, or a region-by-region wind-down — we can't tell which yet. Second-hand sellers already title him "retired", which reflects belief, not confirmation.
- Actual first release year of the Fuddlewuddle Elephant, and whether the range predates the design
- Whether the UK-coded sizes are retired, seasonally out of stock, or regionally wound down
- Whether FW6EUK and FW6EUS are the same product under two regional codes or differ in colourway/finish
- What the 'US Exclusive Bright' variant named in one eBay title actually is — it appears in no other source and I have not treated it as real
- Any realised sale prices; every figure available to me is an asking price
