The real reason for these "cute lil monster" champs

First we had Gnar and now whatever this new thing is.

They want to sell their stuffed animal plushies with "cute" characters and Ryze doesnt sell.

Gnar plush $30 With this next champ Riot is seeing $$$

If this is true, I see nothing wrong with it considering that riot is a company.

I don't see "Cute". I see "Rengar's lost cousin thrice removed, and Toothless' inbred brother".

That being said, I can promise Riot if they put the effort into making a Ryze figure that does NOT cost an arm and a leg, like the Thresh statue, they'll likely see more sales.

Gnar plush looks like shit honestly. Stitching and fur quality looks awful, I'll never buy it.

That said... A game company isn't going to design an entire character, putting money into splash art, ingame assets and future balancing just to sell a toy.

Why downvotes?

Because they wouldn't spend money on devs, an art team and in game assets to make a character just to sell toys. That's what TV shows do, make cheap cartoons to sell toys, not a full character in a game that took months to make

Not to mention that the character becomes a balance liability for years to come.
