TC Pets by Treasure Chest Pets are a new patented line of plush organizers that look like stuffed animals for boys and girls. Each pet features an attachable pillow head intended for kids to snuggle up with along with bodies designed with secret compartments to store treasures on the inside and out. The Accessory Chest Pet (dog) contains five secret spaces, the Treasure Chest Pet (monkey) features two secret spaces and the Media Chest Pet (bear) has four secret spaces.


Once your child locates all the “secret” spaces, TC Pets are quite easy to use. The compartments opens easily (after you know where they are!) and items can quickly be stashed inside. The hard-bodied shape of each animal also allows kids to easily place other items on and around the TC Pet, something regular plush toys just can’t do!

Our reviewers took a look at each TC Pet individually in this category and determined some may be more durable than others. While having more storage spaces than the others, the dog’s accessory chest pull out drawer (you have to get one to understand!) appears to cause it to be a little less durable than the others; however, it seems if you have a problem with it, you’d be able fix it at home if necessary. Also, TC Pets are only surface washable due to the components – making it a little less durable in the long run.

Very, very cute! In the plush world our reviewers have the opportunity to see some of the cutest toys around; TC Pets certainly fit into that category! Their big, friendly heads are inviting to both kids and adults. Not only are these cute, but they’re larger than what our panel expected. Our reviewers favorites were the dog and the monkey – but all three got props for true visual appeal!

A stuffed toy that actually has a purpose (other than snuggling, of course!). We all know stuffed toys pile up around the house – taking up space and many times just collecting dust. TC Pets are plush toys that kids really can play with. Even our youngest reviewers liked to find the hidden compartments. Boys put their little game cartridges in, girls talked about how they could use them for their “jewelry”. The bear, in particular, can serve as a media chest, holding CDs or DVDs along with other items. All three TC Pets have removable heads (they’re attached by a magnet) that can be used separately as pillows (however, the heads do have secret compartments as well – so it could be used as a take-along treasure chest!). The concept most definitely adds functionality to the old-fashioned stuffed animal.

Surprisingly enough, our reviewers were right on with this one. At $20, TC Pets is more expensive than the average plush toy of its size, but with the added functionality, our panel agreed that this was a very fair price. Those who read our reviews often know that five stars in the Cost Efficiency category isn’t easy to come by – so this is quite a accomplishment for TC Pets!

Have you seen these before? We haven’t! Of course, we’ve seen stuffed toys and we’ve seen treasure chests – but we have never seen them put together. Great idea for the kid who has everything – unique, but not strange!

Wow! Our panel didn’t really expect this item to be top rated from the start, but after taking a very close look, TC Pets are a stellar new product! Rating very well in almost all our categories, they are cute, functional and well-priced – three of the most important factors when deciding what type of toy to purchase! Thumbs up, TC Pets – great product!
