Here is a nice pair of older plushes. The one to the left is Avon's Sonic. Avon sold the "finger puppet topper" Sonic theme shampoos (Seen on the Hygene page) but they also made this little plush. He's made of wash-cloth on the outside (see the texture?) & his spikes are felt. You could then presumably take him in the bath with you and wring him out when you were done! Made around 1993 or 1994, it was sold in Avon catalogs & came with a floaty ring (so he'd sit up while in the water) He isn't very big.

The other one beside it is by Dakin, and could be found in Bueler's grocery store in '93. It does have fingers, they're just missing here. This one is over-all rather chubby with stumpy legs, but it is still an all-right classic.
