SackBoy plushies available now on Play-Asia

by Majed Athab { Dec 2nd 2008 at 8:00AM }

SackBoy plushies have been the object of desire for LittleBigPlanet fans for a very long time now; however, such a prized possession has yet to be made commercially available -- until now, that is. Japan is getting the official SackBoy squeeze toys this month and they're already available for purchase off Play-Asia.

Currently, the online retailer carries four versions of SackBoy: Normal, Pirate, Soldier and Sunflower. They're the 4" dolls we've reported on before, and they're actually cheaper than we thought at the price of $9.90. Import them today, or just wait for those North American plushies that we know are coming.

Since when does being a soldier involve wearing a superhero cape?

My mom knitted 1 that looks 10x better, I'll send in the picture to PS3FanBoy.

Off Topic, I was just over on X3F and while I don't have an XBox or a desire to own one I saw they had a ratings specific guide. I thought PS3F should jump on a PS3 specific 1, especially because it has a larger range of E, E+10, and T games.

@ Brodie

your mom has some SERIOUS talent! that's a billion times better than the ones in the article! the texture and zipper are perfect! the ones above don't even look like sackboy!

gwared @ Dec 2nd 2008 8:27AM

Is it just me or do these look like really bad knock-offs?

Bagels PSN:WolfLogic @ Dec 2nd 2008 8:33AM

That would not be just you. They are extremely bad knock-offs.

The1stMJC @ Dec 2nd 2008 9:22AM

I was expecting better, those look kinda bad hopefully when they finally are made available in the US the quality will be better.

Wadey @ Dec 2nd 2008 8:58AM

Why do they say official Taito merchandise?
Surely the official ones should come from Media Molecule and licensed in the UK?

I've been bugging my wife who knits/crochets to make a bunch of them for me for awhile now.

cozza99 @ Dec 2nd 2008 9:18AM

I made the mistake of going to the website and looking at the larger separate pictures of the sackboys. Huge mistake. The stitching is horrible.
Here's a direct link:

Have a look underneath the smile.

We shall call him: SACKTARD!

Jerses @ Dec 2nd 2008 11:09AM

prodigy_69 @ Dec 2nd 2008 12:04PM

they're piss poor...they look like something from a Bangkok flea market

Joe @ Dec 2nd 2008 12:21PM

They suck.

Real ones from MM plz.

Gate @ Dec 2nd 2008 8:27PM

Still ugly. Make quality merchandise and people will buy it, as opposed to these crappy rush jobs.

Tez @ Dec 2nd 2008 2:05PM

I'll wait for real ones.

As I pointed out on MM's site. Look at the Sackboy on the left, it has a manufacture tag hanging off of it. This is what I will be the look of the official Sackboy.

i would buy those! they should have a build a bear setup on the website so we could make it look like ours in the game. like say...a roman sackboy like mine!

FAC3xLESS @ Dec 2nd 2008 4:57PM

These sackboys look like they've eaten too much on thanksgiving. Look at those double chins!

Bagels PSN:WolfLogic @ Dec 2nd 2008 11:36PM

This shape is getting too complicated.

Aardmadrox @ Dec 2nd 2008 8:09PM
