Call them Plushboys. Toy News Magazine is reporting that SCEE has pegged Impact as the manufacturer of a thrilling line-up of LittleBigPlanet, uh, things that includes everything from plush toys to bags emblazoned with the iconic image of Sackboy. In what we’re guessing is a similar deal, Brazier and Co have received the green light to create toys for the game.
But that’s not all -- SCEE also has GB Eye Limited creating more things (postcards, stickers, posters) for LBP, God of War, inFAMOUS and a few other PlayStation-brand-specific games.
The deal with Impact will allow the company to produce products for the UK and Middle East. The rest is intended for several European countries. All of this will be sold, perhaps exclusively, at Target.
No word on North America receiving the goods, but we’re guessing we’ll be getting something out of this pile of Sony-centric awesomeness. If anything, the official plush Sackboy needs to hop the pond. It would look marvelous next to our computers.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Just think of the potential. It'll be like the Beanie Baby craze! No thinking required, just take a video game or comic character and "sackboy-ify" it.
THAT WOULD BE SICK!
