SackBoy plushies have been the object of desire for LittleBigPlanet fans for a very long time now; however, such a prized possession has yet to be made commercially available -- until now, that is. Japan is getting the official SackBoy squeeze toys this month and they're already available for purchase off Play-Asia.
Currently, the online retailer carries four versions of SackBoy: Normal, Pirate, Soldier and Sunflower. They're the 4" dolls we've reported on before, and they're actually cheaper than we thought at the price of $9.90. Import them today, or just wait for those North American plushies that we know are coming.

Since when does being a soldier involve wearing a superhero cape?

Is it just me or do these look like really bad knock-offs?

I was expecting better, those look kinda bad hopefully when they finally are made available in the US the quality will be better.

Why do they say official Taito merchandise?
Surely the official ones should come from Media Molecule and licensed in the UK?

I've been bugging my wife who knits/crochets to make a bunch of them for me for awhile now.

I made the mistake of going to the website and looking at the larger separate pictures of the sackboys. Huge mistake. The stitching is horrible.

Still ugly. Make quality merchandise and people will buy it, as opposed to these crappy rush jobs.

As I pointed out on MM's site. Look at the Sackboy on the left, it has a manufacture tag hanging off of it. This is what I will be the look of the official Sackboy.

Got these in email from play-asia from when I ordered a white D3 last year, these can only be used once so sorry to all of those who don't get there first. Enjoy.
