Impact International to put Sackboy on everything

by Ben Gilbert on Aug 2nd 2009 9:30PM

Well, that took long enough! Toy News Online is reporting that Impact International has secured the rights to produce plush Sackboy figures -- and a whole mess of other goodies -- for Sony. The UK, Ireland and the Middle East will be getting "plush items, bean toys, mugs, bobbleheads and bags" based on the iconic figure from LittleBigPlanet.

Additionally, Brazier and Co. are on board to make "PVC figurines," and even a "limited edition-themed version of Sackboy" -- whatever that could mean (other than a higher price tag). The various Sackboy-themed items will be hitting stores this October. Various other Sony IP (God of War, InFamous, MotorStorm, WipeOut, Killzone and Resistance) will be getting the poster treatment by way of GB Eye Limited, though no date has been set for the release of those. We'd get upset that this stuff wasn't announced for the US but, ya know, we work on the Internet. It's a global community, folks!

[Thanks, Trix_Bol!)

who knew a boy made of sack could be so succesful?!?!?!

Who knew Princesses loved cake like fat kids loved cake???

I rezent your komment, Herr Wiizer. I put all zis hard work into zee zweatzhop and zis is how you treatz me? Making fun of me behindz my back?

All juzt bekauze zee caught me wearing a drezz once while eating chokolat cake....

"wearing a dress once while eating chokolat cake...."

ON MY TIME CLOCK, SIR!

Go take a bath... You reek of pudding, Gunther.

Umm, dare I ask, why, Mystile, did you wear a dress?

Sam Rami told him to in a blog

Yez, zat und I zoiled my pantz earlier from exzitement when I found outz zat I had zome left over apfelstrudel in meine lunchbox. A drezz felt very komfortble for having to go poo when working in zee zweatzhop. No one can differentiate zee zmell from all zee dead hookerz in Wiizers office when I drop a big load of scheibe unterneath zee worktablez.

^ Yeah seriously

I would but hotel rooms are expensive, and finding time to be all toge-wait......uh..........never mind.......

that looks kinda scary not adorable

looks like chalie brown

the eye's are too small... I knew it!

Hmm, no probs, as long as he dont come out like the one in that pic lol, Looks like he ate to much wool or some shit.

why would they make a sackboy figure ouf of PVC instead of God Damn sack?

why would the bat suit have nipples?

I think they're probably gonna make the sack plushes, but also have PVC sackboys.

And if they come out with a sack sackboy... FRIGGIN' WANT WANT WANT.

damn you sly!

I'm embarrassingly pumped about this.

heh.

I imported all of the first ones from the official Japanese line of toys. They are really good quality plush toys.

Also always wondered what in past that zipper....

David Bowie.

elvis.

And Duane Allman. They're jamming.

FEED ME CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEEE!!!!

I mean, the Kool-Aid Man is hiding in there... Obviously.

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man

Trying to make a livin' and doing the best I can

And when its time for leavin,

I hope you'll understand,

That I was born a ramblin man.

Maybe Freddie Mercury's in there, too. We'll find out when these release.

Incorrect, Trep. Sackboy contains dead musicians, David Bowie, and the Kool-Aid man. There's no room for internal organs.

His sack.

Also, that image Trep posted is awesome.

did anyone notice that sackboy has a little sack and a little boy in between his legs, or was it just me?

Narnia

Tila Tequila.

^ No, he didn't ask what was ON Sackboy's zipper, Alton...

Uatu the Watcher?

It's stuffed with Fat Megan Fox's bathwater...

A cake?

no, the cake is a lie. it's a fudge brownie.

Another, slightly smaller, sackboy

Alright, somewhat of a marketing plan for LBP....almost a year after it came out!

Don't worry Sony, you'll understand how this whole advertising mess works someday.

sony's advertising department needs some serious work.

if anyone from sony can read this: look at microsoft's marketing techniques. do stuff like that. we need advertising blitzes for big games!

Well, it's just in time for LBPPSP.

i dont know about you guys, but i liked those ones about "be the player" or something that had nazi esque statues of "players" being built

he needs the big goofy smile!....

I dont have a PS3 but I really like sackboy. I with there would be a 360 game with him :(
I',m sure il get one of these

just get a psp! since the sackboy will come :)

this isnt sackboy =[ he looks like a knock off

If we could make it better, would you buy it from us?... IN BULK?

Because I know some people that can make you a couple of thousand in a couple of days... They just need 'motivation'...

and a cane-toting raccoon to make them work harder in case they slow down.

^ Yes, that would be the 'motivation' I was talking about...

Way to be conspicuous, you damn raccoon...
