Guts doing Good
Non-Profit Support
We wish we could heal people, but we just make fake organs! That's why we give to Partners in Health, Doctors Without Borders, MedShare, Planned Parenthood, Morehouse School of Medicine and Black Nurses Rock so those brainiacs can do their good work. We also donate gutsy merch to non-profits and hospitals to help raise money, awareness and lift spirits.
The Original Plush Organs are the brainchild of Wendy Bryan Lazar, an illustrator with an unhealthy human body obsession. Our bare-bones family operation has made charming anatomy toys with love, style and geeky puns since 2005. We operate out of sunny, smoggy Los Angeles and live to serve our customers the best in educational and ridiculous medical plush toys. Because life takes guts!
Your body is amazing and so are you! Get to know your guts, from the Adrenal glands to the Zonules of Zinn (in your eyeballs), in Meet the Guts. Or, if you need some huggable retail therapy, we got plenty of plush guts we want to send home with you.
