About this project
They call themselves "The Goonies." The secret caves. The old lighthouse. The lost map. The treacherous traps. The hidden treasure. And Sloth...
Join the adventure!
Our Campaign
To coordinate with this Summer's 30th Anniversary of the theatrical release of The Goonies, Gordos Plush is proud to offer new 8" collectible plush figures featuring iconic characters from the timeless adventure film.
We chose Data for Kickstarter because we felt he was an under-represented character from the film when it comes to awesome products out on the market. Plus, Data was totally geek chic before geek chic was even a thing.
One-Eyed Willy is perfect for Kickstarter, in our opinion, because he's a skeleton AND a pirate, and you can't get much more fantastic than that. Plus he's the O.G. - Original Goonie!
Meet The Goonies
Our Data features real embroidered patches straight from the movie, utility belt, life-like hair, tennis shoes with corduroy accents and embroidered laces, and comes in a collector's box. All for less than a "Fifty Dollar Bill!"
One-Eyed Willy features a custom pirate hat with gold accents, embroidered eye patch with jewel details, iconic floral-printed bandanna, embroidered necklaces and belt, pirate boots with corduroy accents and a collector's box.
Gordos Plush Specs:
- From head (not hair or hat) to toe each Gordo measures at 8"
- Gordos Plush come loaded with 10 oz. bean-bag bottoms to ensure that they'll stand confidently on their own two feet.
- The expressive faces on all our Gordos Plush are unique to that character.
- Gordos Plush feature quality embroidery, custom clothing, and character-specific details that collectors and fans are sure to love.
Chunk and Sloth (and why we're on Kickstarter!)
As avid collectors and pop culture enthusiasts ourselves, Gordos have become a real passion project for our team. We've been working diligently on our product for the better part of two years, and, luckily, all that hard work paid off when our Chunk and Sloth Gordos Plush were selected as an official product of The Goonies 30th Anniversary celebration in Astoria, Oregon. These two classic characters were made available for the first time ever at the event - the actual Goon Docks, June 4 - 7 2015. And right now Sloth and Chunk are for sale at Gordosplush.com for all fans of The Goonies!
So why Kickstarter? We had so much fun planning and building Chunk and Sloth that we started concepting other characters from The Goonies. We think fans will love our Data and One-Eyed Willy Gordos, so we're taking it straight to the people to prove our theory. We need your support to make Data and One-Eyed Willy come to life!
Aside from owning awesome Gordos Plush featuring some of your favorite characters from The Goonies, we've got quite the selection of exclusive rewards made especially for this Kickstarter.
Stretch Goals!?
Ye intruders beware... Crushing death and grief... soaked with blood of the trespassing thief...
It's a mystery NO MORE! Our first stretch goal is the infamous Mama Fratelli!

Risks and challenges
We've already received awesome prototypes of Data and One-Eyed Willy, so we're expecting smooth sailing (on the Inferno?) once our campaign meets it's funding goal. However, we are experienced in production and understand that issues often arise, including but not limited to shipping customs and availability of quality materials used to make Gordos Plush. When this happens, we will be responsibly updating our campaign page, as well as readily available via Kickstarter's messaging service or on any of our social channels.
