This is my entery for PonePone’s Subspecies Competition! Heavily based on the old Wishniks/Treasure Trolls/Troll dolls!
Found in a dusty, old, wooden storage crate dragged out of an old warehouse in Denmark and shipped over to you, you find a VHS tape and a few strange boxes padded with crumpled paper and straw. You slide the tape into a VCR emulator and are presented with an advertisement dating back to the 60s. The slightly warped and fuzzy audio cuts through the static in the form of a upbeat jingle as dull, yet colourful logos flash across the screen.
IT’S WISHFWENS!

The advertisement ends, only for the black screen to clip with static before starting another advertisement from the 90s. Several children are holding these incessantly giggling biotoys and saying various rehearsed lines.
“I wish my brother’s shoes weren’t so… P.U.ey… ugh…”
“I wish I could stay up past 8 o’ clock!”
The biotoys giggle in unnatural, tinny tones in response.
When you wish on a Wishfwen, who knows what might happen!
Wishfwens are the only fluffies that have a jewel on their tummy that you can wish on!

“I wish gum never lost it’s flavour…”

The tape ends. You sit in contemplation and go over your notes.
Wishfwens were apparently an old, forgotten chapter in the Hasbio history archives. They were supposed to be an early fluffy variant made in a desperate attempt to take the biotoy scene by storm along with the gen1 fluffies.
The design definitely leaned more into the ‘toy’ aspect of the biotoy. At least in appearance, but they were supposedly the exact same as any other basic fluffy. It looked like the colourful/stylized mane and tails and the belly button gems were the main marketing factor.
Their front limbs were slightly shorter than the back limbs, forcing them to develop a habit of waddling on their stocky hind legs. Their seemingly unblinking eyes almost perfectly mimicked a real doll’s eyes. Scrunched up snouts gave a unique facial feature, supposedly making them ‘so ugly that they’re cute’.
Though anyone could say that for any fluffy nowadays.
The belly button gems were a peculiar touch. Definitely a marketable trait for kids. You wonder if the things were born with them or if they were inserted after birth… Did these things even breed? You didn’t notice any genitals in the tapes, though that could have been editing or maybe the display products were neutered for the camera.
How Hasbio made these things is still a mystery-
Something moves behind you. You quickly turn to the open storage crate. You listen…
You hear giggling beside your ear.
You quickly turn back to the screen and-
