Swag report: de Blob is de bomb! photo

[As originally posted on Tomopop]

As Chad Concelmo likes to say, de Blob is de Bomb. After receiving a copy of the game and the enclosed vinyl toy of de Blob himself (which as far as I know is promo only), I couldn't agree more. You can look forward to a full review of the Wii title from our own Jonathan Holmes coming soon, but in the meantime I had to seize the opportunity to snap some playful pics of de Blob attempting to tackle a few of my favorite Nendoroids.

Check out the gallery for some solo pics of the box and the figure all by his lonesome. I know I have a soft spot for toys, but I have to say this is the coolest bit of swag I've seen in the Destructoid office in some time. Cheers, THQ -- this is definitely the kind of delightful surprise I always hope to see pop up when I open our daily packages.

It's true, I played it at PAX, and it's got a very relaxing feel to it.

I'm still torn between picking up this game or Wario Land.

What's that toy with the gun? That's cute as hell.

I heard that de Blob figure was a pre-order bonus in Austrailia.

Here's a review of de Blob. It's great, go buy it. As relaxing or challenging as you want it to be. The music is fantastic and the burbling sounds the characters make when they talk is worth $50!!!

I liked this game, but I do not like them not sending me a review copy of this swag. Not one bit.

@kapshhh -- That's a Nendoroid called Kemeko. I wrote her up on Tomopop, if you go search you'll see a review of her. ^__^
