Kirby in his Link costume elicits squeals of nerdy joy photo

Man, just .... lookit him. Can you get over how adorable and how vastly nerdy this Kirby plush is, sporting his Link costume and his fierce, ready to pound you into the ground expression? This guy means serious business!

This guy is being sold on Ebay for $20 (about $28 including shipping) and ought to be a no-brainer purchase for Kirby obsessees. He ships from Hong Kong through, so be prepared to wait a bit longer than usual for him to arrive at your doorstep if you do decide to purchase him. The auction can be found here, and has only convinced me that Kirby needs to spend more time playing dress-up.

Somebody get Stella Wong in here, quickly. STELLA!

Hey, someone actually yelling "Stella!" without it being A Streetcar Named Desire reference? Who'd a thunk it?

Do. Want.

And it actually isn't terribly expensive. Finally, some adorable gaming swag that won't ruin my bank account. :D

Awesome. I already have two plushies I recieved as gifts (standard Kirby, and the adorable animal costume Kirby). I'm definitely buying this, though I'll probably just order it from an online store instead of putting down money on an auction. 'Specially if the rest of DToid is going to bid :P

MUST...RESIST...URGE...TO GET...

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCC-

I'm probably going to get this. Now if they Kirby copying Snake, Megaman, and Captain Falcon, I'd get all of those and bow to them.

I want this thing and I don't play EITHER Kirby or Zelda. Now that is the mark of a good plushie.

That is freaking awesome. I wish I wasn't currently poor, because that is possibly the sweetest Kirby plushie I've ever seen!

That's not Kirby as Link, that's sword Kirby. You swallow a guy with a sword and gain his power and just sort of resemble Link. The eBay page does a great job of selling it as "Kirby as Link", but if you've played any of the older Kirby games (or read any descriptions on the Smash Bros Trophies) you'll know that its a lie.

There's a store in LA that sells those for about the same price ^__^

I looked on-line and the store I get plushies from has them (that, mirror, angel, cook, hammer and wing kirby) :O, best part is that they're 16 bucks and I can pick them up at the store so no shipping charges :).

Oh crap. Mirror Kirby and Angel Kirby are adorable. I like wing Kirby too!

Is it bad that I'm 21 and want little pink dolls? I think it is, but here I am, placing my orders.

Yeah, just came here to say what The Blur said. That's Sword Kirby, not Kirby as Link. Notice the little yellow ball at the end of the cap? Link never had that.

How are you on a retro podcast and not know that, Colette? GOD. ;P Kidding, kidding.

What The Blur said. Still very cute though!

I see The Blur and Justice have already covered what I was going to say. The maker probably knows it's not really the Link outfit, but 'Kirby as Link' sells better than 'Sword Kirby'.

That sword of his precludes me from assuming that's a Link costume. The cap itself doesn't do it for me; if it doesn't resemble a weapon Link has ever wielded, I'm not convinced.

I have this Kirby! :D Not as a full sized plush but the small one I have is just as cute.

Let's all point out that there's a ball on the end of the hat. That won't make us look like obsessive nitpickers!

And I call him Link Kirby anyways. The sword he sports in the GBA games is totally the Master Sword, man.
