Hot off the truck in our Nerd Approved Shop—the 7-inch DC Universe Wonder Woman Plush!
Adorable Amazon. The heroes and villains of the DC Universe are taking over the world… one hug at a time! This DC Universe Wonder Woman Plush is an adorably stylized version of the Amazon Princess that stands approximately 7-inches tall.
Just arrived in the Nerd Approved Shop—the Cthulhu 17-inch Plush Hand Puppet! Be warned—it may seem like you control the puppet, but that’s just what Cthulhu wants you to think.
Kids have delightful imaginations but not the best understanding of how the human body fits together. Therefore, their drawings and doodles are often a bit out of balance. People and animals have spindly legs that couldn’t hold them up and illustrations of family pets are sort of just one big blob. That’s what makes them great though—they’re always fun to look at. With that in mind, Wendy Tsao has started a business to turn those drawings into little stuffed toys. Brilliant.
Child’s Own Studios is pretty straightforward. You submit your kid’s illustration, and Tsao turns it into a three dimensional plushie. She’s created dozens of the adorable toys so far, and the service is so popular she’s actually not taking new commissions at the moment. You’ll want to keep her information on file though for when she’s available again. This would make a great gift for a kid, not to mention a priceless momento for parents as the child grows to adulthood.

For the princely sum of $150 apiece, you can become the proud owner of these Wampa and Taun Taun Munny plushes by MeSmithy, which are based on a 7″ munny platform and embellished with sculpty, paint, and fur.

We mentioned this giant Chewbacca plush last month, but it just landed in our Nerd Approved Shop for only $70.99—about $30 cheaper than it was previously. Plus, it fits in nicely with today being a special day and all.
May the 4th be with you!

I once stole a teddy bear from a toy store. I was all of two and I didn’t know any better so my Mom went back inside and paid for him, but if I saw these in a store today, then I’m sure they’d be the ones I’d try to pilfer. I love them and their adorable lack of pants.
Not only do they each sport the appropriately colored blue or yellow tunic, but their expressions are perfect. Kirk is the charmingly handsome ladies bear and Spock has pointy ears and his signature frowny eyebrows. Each measures 13.5″ tall and is sold individually. Now you have to face your own personal Kobayashi Maru and decide which one to purchase. It’s a no win situation. Buy them both.

I don’t think anyone really knows what Chewie is saying to Han. Sometimes I don’t think Han knows, but if he makes it up who’s going to argue? Now you can have your very own 24″ Chewbacca plush to hug and cuddle and call your own. Tell him all your secrets and when you press his furry belly he’ll growl at you and you can imagine he’s saying whatever you like, without Han saying any different.

ThinkGeek realizes that this narrow plush tentacle probably isn’t going to offer the best in napping comfort – that’s why they made it completely posable, so you can use it as a fake arm, or take advantage of its convenient built-in belt loop to give yourself a tail or a 30″ tentacle wang.
