Suggestions for 14yo Angel Tree boy

[MSWR0319]

One of our angel tree kids is a 14 yo boy who wants:

WWE Figures
Super Hero Figures
Pillow


This seems easy enough, but does anyone have any suggestion as to what exactly type of figure he means? Like barbie size? Smaller? Special brands?

What type of pillow should I get?

Funko Pops are super popular and have both WWE and various super heros. My 14 year old has like them for a few years from various movies, etc. Not certain, but a thought.... Amazon has a ton, any toy store, book store, etc.

A pillow I would get a hypoallergenic one. The squishiest, fattest one they have. Maybe a pillowcase too?

My DS (13) suggested these from Target: https://www.target.com/p/wwe-john-ce...k/-/A-51910745 (they have a 10 off 50 and 25 off 100 coupon right now too). They have a good selection of super hero figures too. He says Marvel Legends is "cool stuff." (On the superhero aisle at Target)

I would say the smaller figures over the larger ones for the older kids.

I would get a fun body pillow for him like this https://www.target.com/p/bear-body-p...3/-/A-75456195 or this one https://www.target.com/p/fox-body-pi...3/-/A-75456193 or this one https://www.target.com/p/jurassic-wo...w/-/A-75565292

No experience with 14-y.o. boys, but I suspect my 14-y.o. DGD1 would find the bear pillow too "little kid" — not sure about the other, since she outgrew her dinosaur phase a while ago.

I have a 15 year old DS1 and the Funko Pop figurines are definitely popular. He has several. I'd go with those over the GI Joe type action figures.

My 15 year old DS1 would think all those pillows are too babyish. My 9 year old DS2 would like them though. I'd go for a regular bed pillow with a nice pillow case in gray.

re the pillows being babyish, I think you have to think about if this child has maybe ever owned anything like this (a specialty pillow) and know that a pillow isn't on display like a backpack or coat. It's ok to still like stuffed animals and these pillows are basically that. Also, this is an older kid who is still asking for toys so he would probably like something more fun than "cool" or adult.

My thinking was that he may have been asking for a pillow because he currently doesn't have one at all or it's so old that's it's completely flat and uncomfortable. That's why I suggested a "normal" bed pillow, because it's quite possible that there's a real need there. My 15 year old DS1 still has a Pillow Pet and a million stuffed animals, but the kid asked for a pillow, not a Pillow Pet, body pillow, etc which is why I was leaning more towards a nice new comfortable bed pillow.

My son has a Star Wars pillow like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Wars-94460-Mi...raL&ref=plSrch
He loves it and uses it every night. We got it a year ago from Walmart.
