Sadly, This StarCraft Baneling Plushie Doesn't Explode

You can cuddle this oddly adorable fan-made Baneling plushie and it won't blow up in your face.

I'm not quite sure what it is about Baneling [http://www.amazon.com/Starcraft-II-Wings-Liberty-Pc/dp/B000ZKA0J6/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1283439763&sr=1-1]. It's slimy, pustulent and green, filled with noxious and explosive acidic juices. It will waddle (or roll) up to your base, burst in a suicidal blast and melt your face off.

And it's somehow adorable. What the hell?

This fan-made Baneling plushie [http://www.etsy.com/listing/51305244/bangling-sc2-baneling-fan-art-plush] seen over on Etsy perfectly captures the bizarre cuteness of the Baneling, only it's more huggable than it is lethal. Sadly, this was a one-of-a-kind item that has since sold out, but perhaps the creator could be convinced to make more with enough interest?

Or perhaps Blizzard could take a hint and start selling these officially. That'd be great, too.

I just kind of want to ... take it and roll it down a hill or something.

[ma55ter_fett]

I think I'll hold out for the Ultralisk plushie.

 

[Sevre]

Saw this a while back, it takes the gal a whole day to make one apparently, that's dedication for you.

 

[Amnestic]

Do want.

Surely if he made more he would get sued for copyright or some bullshit like that.

So I doubt he'll make anymore.

But yes they are cool.

I wouldn't put it past Blizzard to commission them in some form.

 

[Jaebird]

D'awwwwwww.

Spoiler: EVERYTHING is in bloody plushie form nowadays

Not that I have any problem with it and yes I know this is technically a pillow

 

[Jared]

[Wolf Devastator]

I think I'll hold out for the Ultralisk plushie.

It'd have to be one of those baby Ultralisks, those things are insanely cute

I would get my girlfriend one so she can D'AWW and wonder just what in the heck it is! xD!!

 

[strum4h]

I am going to buy a lot of them and recreate the scene of one of my previous starcraft games. I lost hard.

[The Rogue Wolf]

If it makes cute little growly sounds when you squeeze it, I'm ordering ten.

 

[samsonguy920]

Truth be told, I want one, too.

Anyone watching? No? Good...

Well if they can make a boomer plushie and sell them like crazy this ought to set off a storm of starcraft plusies. Personally I'd like to see some terran plushies mainly marines and tanks.

no terrans aren't cute they're evul EVIL!

How about some protoss plushies then? A soft and cuddly immortal? A Dark Templar to sleep with? How about a talking Zealot? (That could actually get annoying after a while. You can only stand to hear "MY LIFE FOR AIUR" some many times)
