Official plush Weighted Companion Cube coming soon

by Scott Jon Siegel on Nov 12th 2007 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?)

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....

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.

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.

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?

Hrm I see a stocking stuffer.

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.

This is pretty slick but I really want a paper weight. It would look perfect on my desk.

I would like a plastic, weighted cube. If it could weigh 100 pounds somehow, all the better.

Agreed, a plastic cube would be more appropriate. Not sure I'd want one that weighs 100 pounds though, as the shipping costs would be prohibitive.

I'll grab the Weighted Companion Rearviews sometime soon. That's pretty awesome

all plush no weight...
euthanize it!

Meh. The fan-made plush cube looked MUCH better since it had CORNERS, this one is more like a Non-Weighted Companion Ball. :-/

Correction: The rear-view mirror companion cubes are known internally as "threesome cubes."

I don't like the official plush as much as the fan-made one:

The official one looks lumpy and unshapely.

for those of you considering getting the one you can hang from your rear view mirror, just a warning: im pretty sure it's illegal to have anything hanging from your mirrors including fuzzy dice and cuddly companion cubes.

damn cant wait for it to come out im on valvesoftware every day just waiting for it to show up so i can f-in buy it.

Yea I'd also rather have a replica.

Life size. :D

An aluminum WCC would be cool, weighed, but not too heavy as to run up shipping costs.
