Oh my goodness Paizo the amount of love and adorableness that was poured into this ancestry is just too much. There's a feat for stitching yourself up! There's a feat for being hard to sneak attack because you are just fluff on the inside! There's a variant of poppet that is brought to life by a child's earnest wish and I'm not crying you're crying. <3

Might I suggest this guy as the possible threat? They're part of a monster family now as well, so it's easier to suit different levels.
Aaaaaand that's going in!

The Cathartic Mage archetype with the Devotion focus feels like it could be appropriate to have on one or more of the spell casters.

I have a sudden and irrational desire to play a Wishborn Poppet Paladin of Erastil, bravely protecting its beloved owner. It's not like me. It's not any kind of optimal. At the same time...
"Oh, the kid's not anything special... but if you bring harm to that small child in any way, then Sir Fluffington will mess you up."
It's also a great place for a shared backstory between two PCs. Like, there was a small child who earnestly wished their poppet to life... and then that child grew up and decided to be an adventurer! Welp. Looks like it's time for Sir Fluffington to step up.
Though... the Poppet in particular really makes me wish there was some way to get multiple heritages. (Maybe by spending general feats or something?) I mean, I really kind of want to make a stuffed bear who was wished to life by a child, and that's three.
On the flip side, Adopted Ancestry writes itself into the backstory almost trivially, so... maybe it would work out reasonably well after all?

You could do Stuffed Heritage with Wished Alive background.

Thanks guys! Now I'm totally stoked to do something like this!
The few remaining undamaged playthings awaken from their foreversleep to the echo of a distant scream for help. The child's mother? As their little button eyes begin to focus for the first time, they see a fading light flying off into the night sky through the open window of their child's bedroom--the glow of its life-giving warmth leaving the room once again in a cold dark gloom. The room, normally only a slightly disheveled mess with the child's various playthings strewn about, now appears completely ransacked, as though it had endured a great storm, or perhaps a battle. The child's small bed has been upturned onto one side, the candle whose light once made sleep possible for the child each night lay snuffed and broken, the toy chest once full of love and memories now lay shattered with much of its contents trampled underfoot, and the door--normally locked at night--has clearly been forced open. The unmoving body of the child's father lay in the yawning portal.
The child is gone. She has been taken.
Though they know not who or what has awakened them to their purpose, the child's fluff-filled friends instinctively know that they must now leave the world of imagination and dreams to go out into the world of harsh realities to find out what has happened. Only together can they can find her, stand against the fell forces that have taken her, and bring her back home safely to her family.

As a total fanboy of Rozen Maiden, I admit I was on a total SQUEEE mode when I first saw them. And an even greater SQUEEEE when I arrived to the Wind Up heritage. Kashira ^^

It's, like, pink lemonade, too. It's all about the placebo sugar rush.

My first thought for a poppet character was a girl and her dog themed ghost poppet summoner, but the save the child adventure concept really makes me want to play a stuffed poppet pirate of some sort with embroidered magical tattoos. It's too bad poppets are terrible swashbucklers, because that would be perfect.

One of my players immediately had this idea and I'm totally on board with it.

Yes I've been really impressed. Poppet addds as much to the number of character concepts as Leshy did. I can play a teddy bear, a toy dragon, a princess riding a unicorn. The abilites are cool rather than powerful. You can pretty much play any sort of toy as a character.

My brother and I just finished watching Moana, and now we're eager to make some poppet and/or leshy barbarians, fighters, rangers, and rogues based off of the Kakamora.
Also, a great many poppets (such as teddy bears) don't have digits that can manipulate objects, such as an opposable thumb. How on earth do they hold things?

They don't know either. One of life's great mysteries.

The same way that Strong Bad can type with boxing gloves on.
Are poppets now free (no ACPs needed) for Society play?
Questions like that are better asked over on the PFS forum.

And a new set of character concepts will be unlocked with the Tsukumogami heritage for the poppet coming in the Tian Xia character guide.
This is essentially an awakened animal for household objects.
In the japanese folk lore these are objects that were deeply charished and used for a long time (I think I heard once 100 years) and thus they gained sentience. So maybe you are an heirloom from a previous adventurer, a shoe, a back pack, a hat, etc. Something has happened to the family that have cared for you for so long. So you must take up the skills you learned from our first owner and set out to rescue/avenge them
