Shark Attack themed items are one of our favorite things to feature here on The Gig, but we also enjoy promoting interesting and unusual plush toys. Now you can own an oversized shark plush that’s actually a child’s sleeping bag, courtesy of artist/designer Kendra Phillips and plush manufacturer Patch Together. The ChumBuddy, as it’s being marketed, is a 7 foot long monster plush that will be available to ship in the 4th quarter of 2010. The good news is that you can pre-order this delightful, soft and cuddly menace of the deep right now for just $199.95 (includes free ground shipping to US addresses) at Patch Together! Shark Attack while you sleep!
From Plastic and Plush, a website that rarely fails to fascinate me and encourage me to waste time, comes the story of a fun toy due out this summer from designer Crystal Chesney-Thompson: a variation of her beloved Haminal, which is in this case a Plush Deviled Ham. In honor of my love for all things porcine, I would sure like to own one of these. More information on the Deviled Haminal can be found at This Link. The regular Haminal (pictured below) can be purchased for just $16.95.
While passing time over at Plastic and Plush, I came across this delightful pink vinyl toy called Hot Cha Cha Cha, by artist Gary Baseman. This special Pink edition figure is strictly limited to 500 units worldwide and comes in an individually-numbered package that’s a work of art in itself. Retails for $99.95. Sounds a bit pricey to me. Your mileage may vary.
Regular readers of The Worley Gig know that we are not only rabid and unashamed meat eaters over here but we are also very pro-Bacon! Having previously blogged about Bacon Flavored Dental Floss, Chocolate-covered Bacon and uber-tasty Bacon Cinnamon Rolls, it only follows that we would continue to celebrate Bacon’s awesomeness by turning fellow bacon-lovers on to this very cute and cuddly Bacon Plush Toy, Shaky Bacon, available for purchase from Plastic and Plush Toys! I love the angry look on his face! So adorable, so delicious.
