WE WILL CRUSH YOU WITH CUTENESS

December 2nd, 2009 by Malki

T-Rex Plush Can you imagine anything more adorable than a giant, cuddly, enthusiastic, terrifying-in-a-deadly-serious-kitten sort of way, and yet totally friendly Tyrannosaurus rex? Of course not! That would strain the bounds of the human (to say nothing of sauropod) imagination. OF COURSE YOU KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING. Introducing the Squishable T-Rex from Dinosaur Comics!

T-rex T-Rex is, of course, the lead character in Dinosaur Comics, offering forth any number of delightful and nominally-plausible scenarios for dinosaur friends and readers alike to consider. Previously he has only existed as a comic character, book protagonist, shirt model, and fearsome beast of ages past… but those days are over. Thanks to the magic of fine love-enablers, thing-realinators, and artist-supporters Squishable, T-Rex is HERE. In OUR TIME. To CUDDLE OUR CITIZENS. W-won’t you let him?

Jinxlet But T-Rex is not the only squishy thing in our building! There’s also this little fellow, the Jinxlet of Starslip fame, who comes from other galaxies to spread his message of universal peace and adorableness with his soft, non-judgmental eyes. Jinxlets are the juvenile form of the weird Cirbozoid race, so you don’t even know what kind of alien organs are inside that thing, but one thing is certain: they all gently and comfortably compress when you hug them. That sounds a little gross so maybe I should clarify: This thing is a plush. It does not really have organs. (At least, that you can feel.) No worries!

SPEAKING OF PLUSH ORGANS! This colorful but highly deranged cat, Looshkin, will probably be happy to eat all the plush organs you got sitting around your house, place of business or religious institution. It is from Jamie Smart’s excellent Bear books — and there’s also a big-headed, misunderstood bear as well! A bear with problems. Not least of which is Looshkin. You can read all about it in the books they’re from! (And you can even read some samples from the books here.) CAUTION: Inviting Looshkin into your home may result in being immediately made happy by his blue, pointy charm. There is nothing we can do about that. The world is simply designed that way.

doughboy Speaking of strange beings from parts unknown, we also got a few left of this limited-edition Doughboy resin figure from the internet (AND FAMOUS PRINT) comic Goats. This guy was enbrainenated by Jon Rosenberg, sculpted by Nikki Rice, painted by Chris Yates and soon, hopefully, owned by you! He’s big, made of solid, heavy resin, and is not really terribly good for snuggling but, you know, you do what you want. He does make a great desk-warrior, mantel-adorner or coffin-companion, and proves the old TopatoCo motto truer than ever: “Whether you like your huggable stuff soft and squishy, or firm and heavy, we are happy to slip you either.” As right today as it was in 1640!
