Matthew Gray Gubler<\/strong> may not be currently starring in Criminal Minds: Evolution<\/em> on Paramount+, but that doesn’t mean he’s not riling up fans about his solo projects.<\/p>\n

In late November, the dollface<\/em> actor had followers in suspense after posting a series of cryptic videos on Instagram. He later surprised everyone when he revealed that he had created a Rumple Buttercup stuffed animal, the titular character from his 2019 children’s book Rumple Buttercup: A Story of Bananas. Belonging and Being Yourself.<\/em> But the news didn’t end there \u2014 he resurfaced a week later to announce that the toy (whose proceeds went to the organization One Step Beyond Fine Arts) was out of stock.<\/p>\n

“Congratulations to all the warm necks who got a ‘Huggable Rumple’ before he sold out,” he wrote on Instagram on December 9. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping support Rumple’s favorite cause! @osbifinearts.”<\/p>\n

When folks realized the Alvin and the Chipmunks<\/em> star’s first project post-Criminal Minds<\/em> had flown off the shelves, they immediately began reacting on social media. And one request appeared again and again: for Matthew to do a re-stock of the Rumple Buttercup plush toy.<\/p>\n

“I’m so sad I wasn’t able to buy one I’m a big fan of yours, love [you] \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f,” one person wrote in the comments section. “Please please please restock, so many of us still want a Rumple to hug,” another added. “OH NOOOOOO WHEN IS THE RESTOCK???” a different follower said.<\/p>\n

Presently, Matthew hasn’t officially disclosed whether more dolls of the kid-friendly monster will be back on his online gift shop. Luckily, he does have other collectible items available for sale, so fans can still snag a Rumple-themed piece.<\/p>\n

As for what else the 42-year-old actor has up his sleeve, that is to be determined. He hasn’t mentioned anything in terms of coming back to the Criminal Minds<\/em> franchise, despite fans begging him to join the reboot. But his co-stars seem confident that he’ll eventually return as Dr. Spencer Reid when it’s the right time for him.<\/p>\n
