Koyo, the company that makes those cool pin badges you’ve seen around, has blown us away with their latest masterpiece. Soon you can add a rather unlikely plush toy to your Warhammer collection.
We can only guess how this project came about. Perhaps we said something about Nurglings being covered with oozing sores and pus, and they heard it as plush.
Once the idea was out there, there was simply no going back. And now the Nurgling plushie is a whole thing. And it's glorious.
We have so many questions.
Is it machine washable?
What’s it filled with?*
Is it scented?
What sort of voice will you use when you make it talk to your friends?
Will everyone buying it at once inadvertently summon a lesser daemon of the Lord of Decay?
How many do you need to fill a ball pit so you can dive into them?
What will you tell children when they ask what’s on its tummy?
There’s one thing we’re certain of, despite any troubling questions – the Nurgling plushie is adorable. These little beasties are extremely popular, so we’ll bring you more updates soon.
And if you think this one is cute, just wait until you see the infernal majesty of the GIANT plush Nurgling!** We’re not joking – it’s WAY too late for an April Fool’s gag. Make sure you drop by the Warhammer Store on Tottenham Court Road in London on the 28th of August to see this one-of-a-kind behemoth as part of their grand reopening celebrations.
The word is that this Nurgling is the first of many new plushies. What other creatures from the Mortal Realms and 41st Millennium could do with the plush treatment? Maybe this goodest-ever boy…
Keep an oozing, cyclopean eye out for more news on when and how to get your grubby hands on the Nurgling plushie. Why not order a cool dozen and gift them to all your friends and family?*** You can’t go wrong with this one.
* We’re not actually certain we want to know the answer to this question. Ignorance is bliss and all that.
** We’re pretty sure a giant Nurgling is actually a Great Unclean One.
*** Or make a start on that ball pit.
