Love Pokemon? Go to Mc Donalds and order yourself a Happy Meal. Just tell the cashier it’s for your little brother/sister/cousin if you get a dirty look. The newest line of prizes is a series of Pokemon figures based on Pokemon Black and White series pokemon. Well, Pokemon Black and White and Pikachu. You can’t have a line of Pokemon toys without Pikachu…

I know a lot of people who are going to be going to Wendy’s today. One of the best fast food places out there has teamed up with Namco Bandai for a Pac-Man promotion event. It’s partially to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Pac-Man series, and part to hype up the latest Pac-Man Wii game, Pac-Man Party. Not that the details matter – what matters is you get Pac-Man toys in your kids’ meals…

If Toys R Us’ Presidents Day sale didn’t appeal to you, then don’t worry. It has a standard sale ad this week as well. The February 20-26, 2011 sale ad is out and it has quite a few appealing sales. You can get free Toys R Us gift cards with select sale purchases, a toy with de Blob 2 or a custom iPod Touch bundle with a rather nice starter kit.

Since this is a gaming blog, let’s begin with the gift card and games promotion…

Rovio’s Angry Bird invasion continues! They’re going to start taking over the real world, in the form of assorted plush toys. The stuffed Angry Bird birds will be available in multiple sizes, but will all have that determined look in their eyes that we know and love. Rovio hasn’t stated yet where there’ll be sold, how much they’ll cost or when people will even be able to buy them just yet, but the birds are coming and they’re absolutely adorable…

You get to lord over adorable, virtual pygmies in the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad app, but if you attend the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con 2010 you could get a real life pygmy of your own. The convention’s being held in Rosemont, Illinois August 19-22, and Bolt Creative will be there selling the plushes for the first time….

There’s a new games-related event in town. The first annual Toy, Game, and Technology Summit will take place on September 22-23, 2010 in Santa Clara, California. This summit will allow those in the toy, video game, and tech (hence the name) industries to brainstorm new ideas, network, and discuss their respective businesses.

There’s no better way to start your day than with a dose of cuteness. If you live in Japan, or know someone who lives there that’d be willing to do some importing for you, you can pick up the most adorable video game-related plush toy ever. Capcom has just announced that it will be selling a stuffed Chibiterasu toy in Japan. So you can play as Chibiterasu in the DS game Okamiden while cuddling your own Chibiterasu.

Chibiterasu is quite a big celestial god-puppy. It’s over 17 inches long and about 8 inches wide. So really, it’s about the size of an actual puppy. It also has all the distinctive red markings and shoulder wing accents that the actual character possesses. The only bad part about it is the price…

There’s only an hour left of E3 2010! Before you head home, you may want to stop by Natsume’s booth (#823) in the South Hall. If you take the time to try out one of four DS games, you can get an awesome souvenier – a pony!

No, not a real pony. A stuffed pony. Well, horse really. Natsume has a treasure trove of stuffed Harvest Moon horses available. They’re plush, soft and small enough to fit into your carry-on…

If you love Left 4 Dead, or really zombies of any kind, and have a spare $50 lying around, then you need to head to The Valve Store. Seriously, I’m not kidding. See, Valve is now selling Boomer, the first of five “Infected” stuffed toys based on monsters from the Windows and Xbox 360 game Left 4 Dead 2.

Boomer, like all of the five Left 4 Dead plushies comes with quite a pedigree. Alexandria Neonakis, designer of Valve’s Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 greeting cards, created the designs for all of the stuffed toys. So you’re getting a stylish and unique little individual if you buy him. Okay, he’s not so little – he’s actually a pretty big boy at 13 inches tall and almost 13 inches wide…

Candy toys are a common sight in any Japanese grocery store. At least, if you take the time to peek down the candy or snack aisle they are. These items appear in little boxes, with a picture on the front of the series they’re from and the item that may be inside.

While they may be called “candy toys,” the moniker is quite misleading. Each usually comes with only one, small piece of candy inside. (Usually a piece of sugar candy or gum.) The main reason anyone buys them is for the toy inside. One of the main kinds of candy toy is the trading figure…
