ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Incoming from Attaboy, who is ready to present Gooberry after “four friggin’ years.”

Each Gooberry has been freshly picked from a secret Gooberry Patch before ripening just for you! Like a newborn’s skull, their soft skin has yet to be fully formed, so a Gooberry is very impressionable and extra-sensitive to your each and every touch! Please, please, DO NOT attempt to eat a Goobery, as they taste like strawberry whipped crème. DO NOT pull a Gooberry’s string, as each pull, although wholly satisfying to you, brings the Gooberry that much closer to a most painful death.

Measuring 12.5 inches tall, the Gooberry squeaks in pain when you squeeze her pinchers, and cowers in fear from your every snuggle. Truly an interactive experience, the Gooberry is the first designer plush to feature a pull-string sound box and squeakers!

The Gooberry is a rare and exotic breathing, screaming living fruit/being. Here are the details on how to get ‘em:

• The first 45 talking Gooberries will be available exclusively at Atta’s “A Touch of Evil” art show June 13th at LA’s POV Evolving Gallery where folks can pick their own unripened Gooberry direct from the Gooberry Patch.
• A second batch is available direct through pre-order starting yesterday through Silver Sprocket. They will be sent out in July.
• A small amount will then be available at the Hi-Fructose booth at the San Diego Comic-Con and then at select retailers.

Taking plush to the next level. Leave it to a Bay Area-based artist. Good stuff.
