Thanks!
And actually, there are future issues that will happen with plushes. (being that they are a new fad, i dont think any are suffering any issues at the moment)

One big killer of tanned fur is water. If it gets wet and doesnt dry quickly, the chemicals inside the leather begin to deteriorate, causing the leather/fur to rip. The common terms for such deterioration is "dry rot" meaning the oils in the leather are worn away, leaving the leather to crack unwillingly. And "acid rot" meaning that the chemicals in the leather turn really acidic (not to the touch, and it wouldnt harm a handler from the fur side because its such a trace amount) but acid rot makes the hide really tender, and often discolour.

Excessive posing will also put strain on the leatherhide and it will be more prone to crack in the most posed/creased areas.

But, if the plush is made with a fresh commercial tan from a professional tannery, the acid rot/dry rot will not take effect for a good 20-30 years.
