I would say it’s one of the dumber things I’ve seen recently, except that the artists is probably making a killing on these things right now, and Murphy’s Laws of Combat #6 says, “If it’s stupid but it works, it isn’t stupid.” ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > You might like these, too: [http://www.toyvault.com/cthulhu/plush\_cthulhu.html](http://www.toyvault.com/cthulhu/plush_cthulhu.html) When we were dating seriously in college, I gave my then-boyfriend as part of his Valentine’s Day present a plush facehugger from the Alien series - or as I referred to it because of the soft and fluffy cloth it was made of, “The Velveteen Facehugger.” He was a huge fan of the series and I thought it appropriate. We’ve been married many years. 😃 And yes, he loved it. ---

[Amazon.com: Alien Life-Sized Facehugger Plush : Toys & Games](http://www.amazon.com/Palisades-Alien-Life-Sized-Facehugger-Plush/dp/B000302CXA) Oo, no, not quite that realistic! :eek: It was in a blue-gray fuzzy cloth, and rather like what you might get if a very talented seamstress was making a stuffed animal and picked an unorthodox choice of toy to make. ---
