I love the idea of plush forms based on scientific principles, from adorable diseases to smiling internal organs to lava-spewing volcanoids, so I dig the Food Chain Friends by Teetersaw. It’s not too often that you find designer plush that fit into each other like so many hungry, Russian nesting dolls. They appeal to both my love of plush things to shove between myself and my cold, cold wall, and my desire to eat any and every animal that is smaller than myself.
Sure, they’re not actual, biological creatures that have ever existed on Earth, so the educational value is nil, but they’re cute, and they come in chains that can be mixed and matched, since they’re relatively indiscriminate about what they put in their mouths. See how many creatures you can fit inside the gargantuan Lankum, and work your way all of the way down to the tiny Zezzel. And while that whole last sentence is an amazing euphemism for indescribable acts, the Food Chain Friends are stuffed with innocence and each other. The Alpha and Beta series are out now, covering the plains and forest habitats, so keep an eye out for the upcoming Gamma series, too!
