What the range actually contains
George is drawn as a small brown monkey without a tail, which is the single fastest way to check a plush is licensed. Many generic monkey plush get relabelled as George and always have a tail.
The range is small and stable: plain George, George in his yellow hat, and small clip versions. It stays firmly a preschool product.

Curious George plush questions
Does Curious George have a tail?
No. A tail is the clearest sign a plush is a generic monkey rather than a licensed George.
What age is a Curious George plush for?
Two to six is the core range, matching the books rather than any TV tie-in.
Is there an official large George?
Around 20 inches, but availability is patchy. The 10–14 inch sizes are the reliable ones.
