Before you buy.

Questions? Say helloWhat are Taba squishies?
Taba squishies are soft, tactile collectible toys. Each design can have a different feel, so check its listing for texture, materials, and usage details.
Where is Melon’s based?
Our business is based in Newport Beach, California. Making and sourcing details vary by item and will be shared on its product listing.
Will my squishy look exactly like the photos?
Small differences in color and finish can occur between production batches. Lighting, screen settings, and individual perception can also affect how colors appear. Please review the product photos and these notes before ordering, especially if you prefer a completely uniform finish.
What handmade details might I notice?
Handmade pieces may have slight mold-release marks, curled edges, small underside imperfections, gentle creases, minor pigment bleeding or settling, and small traces of release residue. Lint or tiny dark surface specks may sometimes be visible. We work to keep these details to a minimum; please send us a photo if anything looks unusual.
Why does the surface feel sticky or slightly oily?
Some squishy materials are naturally tacky and can attract lint or dust. Slight surface oiliness may develop over time, and the item may stick lightly to its protective bag. Follow the care instructions for your particular item.
How should I handle my squishy?
Squeeze gently and avoid forceful pulling, stretching, or excessive compression. If your item is intended to be used inside a protective bag, keep that bag in place. Prolonged use or rough handling can cause tears, damage, or small internal details to loosen.
What happens if it wears out?
Squishies wear with use and are not designed to last indefinitely. Their appearance and feel can change over time. We do not offer compensation for normal wear from prolonged use or damage caused by rough handling.
What if the item shifts or the bag is damaged during shipping?
Shipping may leave compression marks, air pockets, or space between the squishy and its bag. Where appropriate, gently adjust the item inside the bag to help it sit properly. If the protective bag splits in transit, contact us for a replacement bag. Please send us a photo of any arrival issue so we can take a look.
