Left 4 Dead 2 Boomer Plush Vomits Children to Sleep



In a change of pace, Valve is now encouraging that the public hug the undead rather than kill it.

Zombies have been considered many things in their time: ugly, sickening, gross, bloody, disgusting, horrid, repugnant, stinky, and reprehensible, but Valve wants to add a new word to that list. Now available on the Left 4 Dead 2 [http://store.valvesoftware.com/productshowcase/productshowcase_L4D2-BoomerPlush.html] Boomer plush that will have people calling zombies "cute."

It might go against the tenets of zombiehood, but the $49.99 Boomer plush is downright kissable. The tumor over its left eye even makes me say "Awwwww... somebody's got a cute widdle tumor." It's definitely the perfect stuffed plush to send a kid off to la-la land with, if you want him to dream of a fat-ass zombie that will spit bile in his face while zombies rip him apart.

Hold on, did I say $49.99? Yes I did, but stay with me, as the Boomer plush seems to justify its cost with extra features. It's 13 inches tall, 13 inches wide, and requires three AAA batteries so it can emit 10 different Boomer sounds. It'll belch in your face, and you'll probably love it.

If you've already gone ape over Boomer, get ready to smash your head (and wallet) into the wall. A teaser is currently on the Valve store's front page [http://store.valvesoftware.com/] that indicates four more Left 4 Dead 2 plush designs will be released "soon." Their greyed out silhouettes show a possible Witch and Tank, while the others I would only be guessing at because I'm not a huge Left 4 Deadhead. I'm sure all of you know what they'll be though.

D'awww, who's a wittle Boomer? You are, yes you are!

*ahem*

Looks adorable. But $50 is a bit too much to ask me for one of those.

Now if it was life-sized, then I'd gladly shell out $50 for that.

I think there should also be a Bill action doll, a Coach branded chocolate bar, and a Witch makeup kit!

I can't wait for the Tank though.
Don't think too hard about Zoey merchandise... <.<

I'm personally waiting to see the hunter and the smoker ones, they are definitely my 2 favorite special infected out of the bunch.
Though, I wish they would have the sample sounds of the toy, I really couldn't think of 10 distinct sounds each of the special infected make.
Also, is it just me or does the witch's silhouette seem to have obscenely long arms.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but that thing is so cute! I want one.

Well okay, maybe just a plushy Witch.

There needs to be an Ellis doll where he just rattles on and on about Keith.

I can't tell if that's adorable or creepy.

I'm gonna side with creepy.

Still, doesn't mean I don't want one! This is possibly the coolest thing Valve has ever tried doing for a game franchise. The irony of having L4D kids toys is palpable, but that just adds to the awesome, considering these will probably wind up on the foot of beds owned by 30 year old men all around the world. That, in my books, is a win.
