Balatro devs tease Jimbo plushie

As a devoted fan of Balatro since its inception in 2024, I’ve grown quite fond of the game’s quirky characters, but none more so than the de facto face of the game, Jimbo. He’s the Joker card we all need in our lives, guiding us through tutorials, praising our victories, and gently mocking our defeats. So, when I heard about the upcoming Jimbo plushie campaign, my excitement knew no bounds!


Ever since Balatro was launched in February 2024, Jimbo has been the unofficial representative of the game. He’s a sassy Joker character who guides you through tutorials, cheers you on during successful runs, and playfully teases you when things don’t go as planned. And now, he’s going to be available in plush form! The developers at Localthunk have hinted that a Jimbo plushie campaign is imminent, featuring the game’s beloved trickster character. The plushie will be crowdfunded through Makeship, with details about the campaign set to be released soon.

This week, I excitedly caught a sneak peek at the upcoming Jimbo plushie on Balatro game’s social media platform. The teaser was light on text but heavy on visual cues – clear outlines of Jimbo with the Makeship logo and a “Coming Soon” message. It seems we’re on the brink of learning more about this campaign very soon. Given that Makeship typically operates crowdfunded campaigns, I’m guessing this will be no exception. So, when the campaign launches, there might be a minimum order requirement to kick things off, and possibly incentive goals or additional objectives too.

2024 will see the introduction of a Jimbo plush toy, an intriguing and eccentric piece of merchandise from the game world. Balatro, a game known for its engaging fun, has been a popular topic among gamers. It might seem straightforward, but it offers a wealth of complexity to keep things interesting each time you play. Not only did our Shacknews review sing its praises, but the game also received almost universal acclaim on Metacritic from both players and critics alike. Jimbo may not be the most mind-blowing character in the game, but his presence is recognizable, appearing not just within the game, but also in most of Balatro’s promotional materials.

Keeping an eye out for news on when Localthunk will unveil their Makeship campaign. For more details about the upcoming Jimbo plushie, follow the Balatro discussion thread at Shacknews – stay tuned for updates!
