LittleBigPlanet's Sackboy Turns Toy

Built Tonka tough as opposed to huggable soft, the face of LittleBigPlanet trades in the threads for plastic shells.

What's the best thing about the PlayStation 3 exclusive, adorable [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LittleBigPlanet] Sackboys of their own, not everyone is as handy with a needle and thread.

Which is why Sony has International Toy Fair [http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/02/09/sack-it-to-me-love-is-in-the-air-edition/#more-6027], to be held in New York, February 15-18. The figures will be available at mass market retailers and in a variety of sizes, styles, retailer exclusives and limited-edition variants. The toy snob in me is a bit turned off at the idea of mass market production, as that typically means plastic, as opposed to vinyl figures, but who am I kidding. Sackboy is cute no matter what material he's cast out of.

For those hoping for something a bit more huggable, Sony is once again hinting that the "highly sought after, officially licensed SackBoy plushies are on their way," though that announcement will have to come at a later time.

I would simply like to be the first to say that this was bloody inevitable since I first saw the daft sock-puppet. How many people want 'em? Seriously, this is gonna sell like hotcakes, only better.
