Plushie Skull with Hidden Organs Inside: Braaaaains!

Apparently, existing plushies just weren’t scary enough for young children, so Uncommon Goods is selling this Giant Skull With Hidden Organs plushie. The larger-than-life skull measures approximately 10″L x 9″W x 6″H and features a removable brain, hidden inner ear and brain cell mini-plushies, and two removable pop-out eyeballs. Sweet dreams, children!

The plush also includes a card of facts about the skull and brain so you can teach your children while simultaneously scarring them for life. And isn’t that what parenthood is all about? Well, plus the free, poor-quality labor. It’s just awesome having my children do household chores so incompetently I have to do them all myself again afterwards.

They should make a whole plush skeleton with internal organs next for the full-body learning experience. Then I can hang it up in my son’s closet and remind him before bed every night that this is what happens when you don’t eat your vegetables. Father of the year over here!

Adorable Alolan Vulpix Pokémon Build-A-Bear: What’s the Fox Say?

Good news Poké-fans. Build-A-Bear Workshop is getting ready to launch another Pokémon plush character, featuring the wintry white and blue critter Alolan Vulpix.

The $60 set includes a 13-inch Alolan Vulpix plush, a matching fuzzy cape, adorable pajamas, and a sound effect pack. Oh, and they’ll toss in an exclusive Pokémon trading card just for good measure. That’s quite the Poké-bundle, and sure to be popular with serious fans.

The bundle will only be available online here starting on Thursday, September 13th. If for some reason you can’t get the online exclusive, you won’t have to miss out. You can save a bit of money by getting just the Alolan Vulpix plush ($28) and cape ($12.50) separately at Build-A-Bear Workshop stores beginning on the same date.

This is the ninth Pokémon offered by Build-A-Bear Workshop and The Pokémon Company International. The question is, have you caught them all?

Budsies Turns Drawings into Plush Toys

When they’re at a particular age, kids love to draw. Whether it’s stick figures or colored drawings, the sky’s the limit when it comes to kids’ imaginations. Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could give them a present that’s truly their own?

Budsies is a service that turns children’s artwork into actual plush toys. All you have to do is scan the drawing, place your order, and wait. Your child’s one-of-a-kind, handmade 16″ plush toy will then be delivered in a few weeks (but the waiting time is currently nine weeks since it’s the holiday season.)

Official Cacodemon and Pain Elemental Plushes: Toys from the Doom Old Days

On one hand, many of the fans of the original Doom games are too old to be playing with plushies. On the other hand, some kids might be find these toys too freaky. So really, these are for teenagers who may or may not have played Doom.

Then again, the monsters in Where the Wild Things Are are far scarier than the Cacodemon plush. Heck, Suezo from Monster Rancher is faaaar scarier than these two.

Fight your way to Bethesda’s online store to order the Cacodemon and the Pain Elemental plushies. Each toy costs $15 (USD) and is about 7″ tall. What would really make everyone’s Halloween is if Atlus released plushies of the Shin Megami Tensei demons.
