Own Your Own Woollyhoodwinks
If, after reading my post last month about the Woollyhoodwinks illustrated book, you ran out to try to possess your own Junco, Ludic, Reddy, Ozard or Fluke, you would have been sadly disappointed. But, my friends (and I say this in non-McCain-ish sincerity), your chance to get them has come. New to the Woolhoodwinks webstore are [...]
Continue reading...FluffyYukYuk: Plush Toys That Bite
Tuesday, October 7, 2008
I’ve been meaning to write this up ever since I came across OhNo!Doom among ToyCyte’s MySpace crew (be our friend here). OhNo!Doom is a collaborative group of Chicago artists and designers who share a unique vision…a vision that turned into FluffyYukYuk: the “world’s only chompin’ plush toy.” This is whimsical and innovative, just what great [...]

Monday, October 6, 2008
Ya gotta love guts. We all have them (well at least I hope… if you’re reading this you must have them). The company I Heart Guts who’s anatomically correct plush renderings of lungs, hearts, gall bladder and the pancreas among others are not only lovely renderings of bodily organs but cute to boot. Now they [...]

Thursday, October 2, 2008
After making some great Pickley videos and collaborating with Format on a mascot, Monster Factory is back on my to-blog list with these great Zombies looking to eat some brains at the upcoming Monster Art Rally at G1988 SF. The show opens October 10th, and after missing out on the Crazy 4 Cult 2 and [...]

Wednesday, October 1, 2008
Nothing hurts more than a broken heart. But the folks at BHdolls are trying to change that. Lindy King and Todd Zimmer of the San Francisco Bay Area have just released a new line of Broken Heart Dolls which won’t hurt once bit since they are “super-soft, super cuddly” but be warned, they are also [...]

Wednesday, October 1, 2008
Proximity to Halloween ups the chances of TWO Day of the Dead posts (so far and it’s still early) in one day (the first one being Phoebe Marie’s awesome Dunnys for the Spooktacular show in Cleveland). Jason sends me info for this Dia de los Plush show at Phoenix’s Red Hot Robot. Over 20 [...]

Tuesday, September 16, 2008
I’ve always been a fan of Touma’s Grabbit sculpt. And due to a very talented contingent of crafty plushmakers (you know who you are), I am exploring my softer side with a new influx of plush creatures. Play Imaginative has taken two of Touma’s signature creations, Grabbit and Hellhound, and stuffed them full of cotton. [...]

Friday, September 12, 2008
I never thought I’d be writing about larvae; even the word “larvae” gives me the creeps. For a cute plush doll, I can make an exception. Since it’s related to Godzilla, that’s even better. Battra Larvae Plush is probably the most adorable larvae plush you’ll ever see. It looks more like a dragon, and that’s [...]

Friday, September 12, 2008
I’ve always had a soft spot for the sock monkey. It’s recycling at it’s finest and it makes you think twice before tossing any and all of your own distressed socks. The traditional sock monkey has been around for eons and now this beloved creature is taking new and exciting forms, such as the Socktpus [...]

Alex Pardee’s Bunnywith plush was born in 2003 making it his first creation to hit the third dimension. From Dunny to Gwin, Alex tread the 3D stomping ground in the years that followed. But with Series 1 Bunnywith plushes now back in stock, Alex returns to his soft and fuzzy roots. Bunnywith is based on [...]

Thursday, August 28, 2008
Tee Hee! Yup, I’m not giggling, I’m just letting you know the name of the new Droolie Box creation from plush princess Anna Chambers. Tee Hee is the second born in the Doolie Box family (she joins sibling TooBaa). These “stackable, huggable blocks” are made of soft fleece and felt and Tee Hee apparently loves [...]

Colleen Kooky needs a good home. And while you are at it, do you have room for a couple of her friends? Colleen, the original Kooky Doll, features a salmon with art deco flowers patterned fabric along with red polka dot legs, her pal Valerie is pretty in a pastel pattern and Mini Zoe is [...]

Friday, August 22, 2008
Thanks to Erin and Dave of Curster, I get to tell you all about their Yeti creation first hand. As per the Yeti’s tag: “When a Yeti befriends you, you can be sure you’ve been chosen for a special reason.” Aw shucks! Erin and Dave sent me The Smirker, which, out of the facial style [...]

Thursday, August 21, 2008
Who doesn’t love a beard. They’re soft (sometimes), cuddly and give such a nice sense of character and style. There’s been some great beards in history. Santa, Kenny Rogers, Jesus…(just check out the National Beard Registry for more). So if you are a beard lover, you’ll love the work of Chicago’s Intimidation and her plush [...]

Straight outta Buenes Aires, the eccentric Argentinian art collective DOMA has a brand spanking new line of plushies to wow, astound and to make you think. They push the envelope with some political comments, bone filled creatures and of course disembodied devil horned hands. Above, check out the hand of Corpus (along with the foot [...]

Monday, July 7, 2008
This new plushy series is not for the a) very young, b) the sensitive and sentimental animal lover, or c) the faint of heart. Road Kill Toys, takes those poor splattered and sposhed creatures that fell victim to our society’s need for speed and has created a series of organ exposed animals to celebrate not [...]
Continue reading...Dragatomi Plush
Tuesday, July 1, 2008
Forget about unicorns. In my book, dragons rule the mythical creature world. I’m not just saying that because I was born in the Year of the Dragon. Dragons don’t always have to be menacing and scary. They can also be cuddly like the Dragatomi plush doll you see here. The cuddly blue dragon is the [...]

Tuesday, June 17, 2008
The Soreheads live in the gritty, unforgiving world of control freaks, parking tickets, price gouging, automated phone services, gas prices and recycled air. (To which I’d add people who don’t hold doors and telemarketers who disregard the Do Not Call list.) They are disgruntled and annoyed by the countless frustrations of life. Here’s the crew [...]
