Friends of Standards™

A growing community of witty, clever, mostly lonely, if sarcastic humans who believe in Standards™ — and the world he represents.

Who Are the Friends of Standards™?

Friends of Standards™ are early supporters, plush enthusiasts, shut-ins, boutique absurdists, and anyone who feels a spark of connection with this quietly charming bear, as well as seeing justice done.

This page celebrates the people who get it!

A Bear with Friends

Standards™ is more than a plush. He’s a character with a personality, a story, and an appetite, as well as a growing circle of people who enjoy what he represents: his ironic humor, and his regal S™ crest (currently in development).

Friends of Standards™ are the first to:

  • hear updates

  • see new designs

  • learn about merch releases

  • follow the plush production journey

  • share their own Standards™ stories

This is where the community begins.

A Note from the Founder

Standards™ has always been about getting what HE wants — quietly and thoughtfully—but most of all, immediately. The people who resonate with him form a small but largely unhinged community, and this page is dedicated to them, the poor devils.

As the project grows, Friends of Standards™ will be the first to see new developments, new merch, new stories, and new ways to be part of his world.

Thank you for being here at the beginning.
