Toothy Mutt (Medium)

Toothy Mutt is the dog of Jellycat's Toothies range — an orange, slightly scruffy mongrel with a black nose and, unmistakably, a broad row of chunky white teeth grinning out from under it. The Toothies were a small family of characters built around that one joke: a mutt, a T. rex, a donkey, a dragon and a handful of others, each with the same daft, delighted smile. It is a design that reads as cheerful rather than cute, which is much of why people still hunt for it.

The range is generally dated to 2016, and we hold that as a year rather than a date — we know the year but not the day, so release is shown as a range. Jellycat's own archive doesn't cover this design, so we can't quote them directly on it. What we can say is that Toothy Mutt no longer appears in Jellycat's index and hasn't across nine consecutive checks, which matches the near-universal 'retired' label on resale listings.

Second-hand copies turn up regularly, so it isn't genuinely scarce — but sellers reliably describe it as rare, and the smallest size is the one people chase.
