Hasta La Gadget!

If you are looking for some cute and cuddly, but possibly still scary monsters for you are your kids to play with, check out these Gibbles. They have messy fur, ugly faces that only an owner like you could love, and those eyes that peer into your soul.

They do look pretty darn huggable. They are described as “a very nervous and jumpy breed of monster. Any slight noise or sudden movement sends them into a fit of screams, which is why their face always looks like that.” Makes sense to me.

Your kid will either love them or be scared to death. You can scare up some Gibbles from Love & a Sandwich for $40(USD) each.

Your father wanted you to have this. It is the true weapon of a Jedi knight. Well… not the true weapon, those are dangerous. This one is soft. You are just an infant after all. You have a long way to go before you can wield a real lightsaber, my tiny padawan. If you don’t stop drooling and pooping yourself you will never be ready. Here, just take this plush lightsaber.

Etsy seller meowadays makes these adorable plush yarn lightsabers to start training your younglings in the ways of the Force. Each one is 7.5″ tall and you can get them in blue, green or red – depending on which side of the Force you’re rooting for. They are only $25(USD).

May the Force be with you and your baby.

ThinkGeek is blackmailing kindhearted people with its blobfish plush. What’s a blobfish? This poor creature was voted the world’s ugliest animal. To make things even more insulting, blobfish are endangered animals and don’t look hideous when in their natural habitat, thousands of feet underwater. That’s like having an alien take the last human to outer space stark naked, then noting that we look like bloated and sunburned corpses.

On the other hand, the voting was conducted by an organization called the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, which raises awareness for unsightly endangered animals. Many people know about pandas, eagles and tigers, but they’re not the only dying animals. With its title, the blobfish now serves as the mascot of its ilk.

Wipe your browser’s tears and order the blobfish plush from ThinkGeek for $40 (USD).

Are potatoes your favorite food? After all, there is nothing quite like some piping hot fries with vinegar and salt on the side. Oh yeah, how about those moments when you are munching on your favorite brand of chips in the cinema? The movie certainly felt a whole lot more engaging, don’t you think so? Well, with the $19.99 Portal 2 PotatOS Plush, you can be sure that you will never look at a jacket or stuffed potato the same way again. This is the huggable version of GLaDOS, and it will arrive with 10 audio clips to get you started.

Fret not about your friends ribbing you about purchasing a rip off or a pirated copy of some Portal-inspired toys, as this is a 100% officially licensed Portal 2 merchandise. The Portal 2 PotatOS Plush resembles the tuber-version of GLaDOS that you actually brought with you around the testing facility in the game, and what’s more, it also sounds a whole lot like her. I am quite sure that Portal fans would have plenty of fun with the pre-loaded 10 snarky phrases that are more than ready to be spoken whenever you press the button. At least this is one potato that is not oily, so it would settle in with the rest of your bed’s plushies quickly. Just make sure there are always a trio of AA batteries around to keep it going.

I’m a sucker for anything related to classic arcade video games. If I only had all of those quarters back (and invested them wisely,) I would be a very rich man. Regardless, I figure I’m pretty rich thanks to all of the fun times I had playing them. Anyway, this plush Frogger frog and log are pretty adorable. They’d look good among anyone’s arcade collectibles.

Artist HibouDesigns made this one of a kind plush for a video game inspired plush show at the former OhNoDoom! gallery in Chicago. She loved it so much that she wanted to keep it for herself, but now she wants someone else to enjoy it.

It measures 9″ x 5″ and Velcro allows the frog to be on or off the log as you see fit.

The plush Frogger frog and log are selling for $48(USD) from Hibou’s Etsy shop. Hop on over and grab it before someone else does.
