Teddy Mountain has partnered globally with Peyo Company to develop and distribute Smurfs-inspired products. The planned range includes interactive DIY plush and small Cliplings keychains featuring characters such as Papa Smurf and Smurfette; release dates and prices have not been announced in the source report.
Teddy Mountain will develop and distribute Smurfs-inspired plush and collectibles under a global merchandising partnership with Peyo Company, according to a report by The Toy Book. The announced products include do-it-yourself plush characters and small Cliplings plush keychains, extending the classic franchise into Teddy Mountain’s interactive retail offering.
The planned range features familiar characters including Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy Smurf, Vanity Smurf, Clumsy Smurf and Hefty Smurf. Teddy Mountain says shoppers will be able to create Smurf-inspired plush through its interactive experience. The announcement also identifies Cliplings, a line of small plush keychains, as part of the product offering.
Jen Ruh, Teddy Mountain’s business development manager, said the company was pleased to add the franchise to its licensing portfolio and give customers the chance to make character-inspired plush. The report describes the agreement as a global merchandising partnership, but does not provide product launch dates, pricing, distribution locations or sales targets.
Teddy Mountain Sales Director Michele Escobar said the brand could bring recognition and consumer appeal to the company’s customer locations. That is the company’s expectation, not a reported sales result. Peyo Company chief licensing officer Fabienne Gilles said the collaboration would connect the characters with creative play; the announcement does not outline specific activities or product features beyond the DIY plush concept.
Smurfs Join Teddy Mountain’s Make-Your-Own Range
The deal pairs a widely recognized entertainment property with a retail format centered on hands-on plush creation. For Teddy Mountain, the partnership adds another licensed property and gives participating locations a new character range to offer alongside existing products. For families and fans, the announced combination of plush-making and keychain collectibles provides two formats: an activity-based product and a smaller accessory.
The business impact remains prospective. Escobar said Teddy Mountain expects the partnership to support engagement and retail performance, but no figures, retailer commitments or evidence of consumer demand were included in the report. Its practical reach will depend on when products arrive and which locations or sales channels carry them.

A New Addition to Teddy Mountain’s Licenses
The Smurfs are joining a Teddy Mountain licensing roster that the company says already includes Fraggle Rock, Canticos and Care Bears, among other family-oriented properties. The announcement places the new range within the company’s wider effort to offer licensed products across plush and collectible categories.
The partnership is with Peyo Company, the rights holder named in the report. The report says Teddy Mountain will develop and distribute the products globally. It does not describe the agreement’s term, whether other licensees will produce Smurfs merchandise at the same time, or how the new items will be divided among retail channels.
“We’re confident this partnership will help drive engagement, create memorable experiences, and generate strong retail performance across multiple channels.”
— Michele Escobar, Sales Director, Teddy Mountain
