What the range actually contains
Eeyore is a grey-blue donkey with a pink bow on a detachable tail, and he is the only Pooh character with a substantial standalone adult audience. The melancholic framing is the appeal rather than an obstacle.
The tail is the design detail that matters: on better plush it attaches with a button or hook-and-loop pad, mirroring the story. Sewn-on tails are more durable but less faithful.

Eeyore plush questions
Why is Eeyore popular with adults?
The character's low-key melancholy reads as honest rather than sad, which makes him a common comfort or empathy gift between adults.
Should the tail come off?
On faithful versions, yes — it attaches with a button or hook-and-loop pad. Sewn-on tails last longer but are less true to the story.
What colour is Eeyore?
Grey with a blue undertone. Strongly blue or purple versions are usually unlicensed.
