Matthew Gray Gubler's Journey from 'Criminal Minds' to Solo Initiatives

Matthew Gray Gubler might not be starring in 'Criminal Minds: Evolution', yet he certainly sparked intrigue around his independent ventures. Best known for his role in 'Criminal Minds', this transition showcases his versatility and burgeoning success.

The Launch of 'Huggable Rumple'

Last November, the ‘Dollface’ actor teased his followers with enigmatic Instagram videos, culminating in a delightful surprise.

Matthew unveiled 'Huggable Rumple', a stuffed animal fashioned after the protagonist of his children's book – 'Rumple Buttercup: A Story of Bananas, Belonging and Being Yourself.'

The Overwhelming Response

In a remarkable testament to the actor's popularity, the figurine sold out in less than a week, with all proceeds donated to the ‘One Step Beyond Fine Arts’ initiative.

His fans, left eager for more, commended Matthew for his creativity and philanthropy, whilst pleading for a restock, much to the amusement of the 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' star.

Plea for Re-stocks

"Please restock. We still want a Rumple to hug," wrote one follower. Another chimed in, clearly disappointed, "I’m sad, I wasn’t able to buy one. I'm a big fan of yours!" Such fervent pleas really highlight Matthew’s charm and the anticipation surrounding his ventures post-'Criminal Minds'.
