As history will show, I have no objection whatsoever to strange plush. The world keeps providing me with more of it.
First, those that come via their appearance on Making Light, the gods of Egypt, going for the low discount price of $19.95 each. Anubis is my favorite.
I mean, how can you not love a cute and cuddly version of the guide to the underworld and god of embalming?
But what if you're not of a particularly mythic bent? What if you're more of a thinker or revolutionary? Well, never fear, for the Unemployed Philosopher's Guild has you covered. Ever thought of cuddling up with Karl Marx or Che? Well, this is your chance. I'm particularly fond of Vincent Van Gogh, who comes with velcro-on (i.e. removable) ears. And at $15.95 each ($40 for 3), who could argue?
I just wish they had an expanded list. Marco Polo? The Brothers Grimm? Pushkin? Homer? Milton? Howard Carter? That'd all be even cooler.

Hhm. Seems I was in violation of trollandtoad.com's use terms when I linked directly to the picture of one of their products. Oops.
Still, do click on the link, 'cause plush Anubis is cute.
Yes, plush Cthulhu, in all his varied incarnations, is very cute. I'm also very happy that you can now get him a friend: Plush Nyarlathotep!
