Official plush Weighted Companion Cube coming soon

by Scott Jon Siegel { Nov 12th 2007 at 6:00AM }

Yes, yes, we know: "Too many posts about Portal", "We're sick of hearing about Portal", "All you ever talk about is Portal", but shut up for a second, because we have some more Portal news to share. It seems that Valve is answering our prayers and will soon be selling the oft-adored Weighted Companion Cube in huggable plush form.

In addition to the larger stuffed version of our best friend, Valve is also working on a pair of smaller ones for hanging on rear-view mirrors. We're confused as to how there could be two Companion Cubes, but we'll just assume it's an illusion created by portals.

No price, no release date, and no additional details accompany the announcement. But isn't the photo alone news enough?

Doesn't look very weighted though. :x (where's our paperweight?)

NATO_Duke @ Nov 12th 2007 11:08AM

Paperweight would be a nice idea.

Seems that a company would jump on the 'weighted' angle of the companion cube and make that before a plush. How does logic always seem to be lost first?

that's probably the most ingenious way of giving the public their weighted companion cube.

oh well, it's still coming out! :D

Pretty crappy.

Most of the fan-made ones I've seen are much better looking than this. Hell, even that cake posted on Kotaku was better than this. This looks like "Not Really Weighted Companion Fuzzy Bubble."

Ewww plush? I wanted a legit toy, plastic would've been nice so it could be used for it's weighted features.

Screw all you haters. More plush WCC for Rubang!

It'll be interesting to see the "incinerator" videos(if they're not out there already)featuring the uneasy loss of said companion cube.

I've always felt the weighted companion cube could use its own companion you know....

StrangeBum @ Nov 12th 2007 8:06AM

Nobody is commenting about the rear-view mirror cubes. I'm digging those, I might have to pick both of these up. So whenever I feel the need for some companionship, there it is, my wonderful buddy that will not stab me in the back.

Donald @ Nov 12th 2007 8:22AM

I think you're getting it wrong. It will never THREATEN to stab you in the back.

Stabbing in the back is still within the realm of possibility.

StrangeBum @ Nov 12th 2007 8:24AM

Haha..yes I suppose so. Great Success!

And I have to say, my name is Donald, and when I got my email reply, it scared the shit out of me. I thought somehow I replied to my comment or something without knowing it.

Yay, there would be an Aperture science artificial intelligence incinerator included too?

timnc @ Nov 12th 2007 9:37AM

Hrm I see a stocking stuffer.

Bucket @ Nov 12th 2007 10:06AM

I don't know... they always give me bad advice.

Wait what? Who the fuck is complaining about to much portal? For once you are talking about a -good- game. Before all you talked about was the run-of-the-mill halo series.

I bet the die hard halo fans who buy master chief helmets are the ones that are getting mad because "wtfomgbbq a pc game was rated higher than halo... and it was part of a 3 package deal!"

If you are not a die hard halo fan who buys master chief helmets then the previous statement probably does not refer to you.
