Prediction: Unlikely to succeed
This is an interesting twist on the old "bear rug" idea. If plush wasn't the most over-mined DRTV category of all time, it would probably have a much better shot ...
Then again, a flat stuffed animal would be kind of difficult to play with and is not nearly as huggable as a stuffed animal that's also a pillow. The price (which is understandable given the amount of material involved) will also hurt sales.
