Cute Kirby Pillow Sucks Up Our Hearts
While that might sound like a terrifying fate for his foes, the atmosphere of Kirby’s various video games are invariably as cuddly and cute as the Nintendo star himself. So maybe being sucked up and swallowed by Kirby actually isn’t such an unpleasant experience? I mean, it looks pretty comfortable here.
Online retailer Premium Bandai has just begun taking orders for the Sucking Kirby, which, in much the same way as Kirby’s exact species is indeterminate, defies easy product categorization. On the one hand, you could say it’s a plushie, since it’s made out of a polyester/nylon blend and looks pretty huggable.
But it’s also big (38 centimeters, or about 15 inches, tall) and capable of standing on its own, so maybe it’s more like a figure or interior decoration?
And finally, you could make the argument that the Sucking Kirby is actually a piece of furniture, or at least a pillow/cushion, since you can lay your head down inside his soft mouth and relax… or, alternatively, you shut your eyes in fear so that you don’t have to look at the opening of his maw (which can accommodate heads up to 21 centimeters in diameter) while worrying that the plushie is about to come to life and close it around you.
Premium Bandai describes it’s inspiration for the product with:
“Wouldn’t it be great if you could be sucked up by Kirby? Here’s a stuffed animal that can make that wish come true! Now you can have Kirby suck you up whenever you like, and wherever you are! Even adults can be sucked up!”
Sucking Kirby can be ordered here from Premium Bandai, priced at 9,500 (about US$85) and with shipping scheduled for May.
