The plush griffon is one of the pets/toys that you can create during the GW2 Wintersday event, which is running at the moment. It is also adorable.
If loving your plush griffon is wrong, I don’t want to be right!

Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Though shame on Arenanet for allowing us to kill them in the Christmas dungeon and toypocalypse
I know, right? But as people keep telling me, “those were the BAD MALFUNCTIONING plush griffons.”
I’ve decided to make the griffon and golem pets. I did seriously consider the princess doll… but I looked at the desciption of the malfunctioning doll’s combat abilities (“throws tantrums”), heard one yelling “I’m the princess! I can do what I want!” and then looked at my daughter who turned 6 yesterday and went “Naah… already got one of those.”
I made a princess doll, myself. It’s so adorable, the way it sings (reminds me of the singing sunflower pet in WoW, only it sounds a bit more… robotic?)
I think I might get a princess doll next as I think people won’t get them so much. Already got griffon and golem!
That may be because those blank-faced dolls creep people out. Reminds me of an episode of Sapphire & Steel I saw when I was about 9 years old (original broadcast, so that shows my age…)
