I love you Pee, I love you too Poo


"It's OK Johnny, don't be afraid."
"But Daddy, I'm scared of the potty."
"There's nothing to be afraid of, Pee and Poo are your friends, and they like to go swimming. Won't you take them to the pool?"
"I like to go swimming too Daddy"
"Not in that pool, that is a special pool just for Pee and Poo"
"Oh... then why does Fido drink out of it?"


Yup, that's right, these are Pee and Poo plush dolls. They are a great way to help your kid get over any anxiety they may have about going to the bathroom, and (thank God) let you stop changing those diapers every few hours. Give these as a gift and they will be remembered long after everyone else's gifts are forgotten.

Take a hike Ugly Dolls, CurlyQCuties are here



Hand-made (and home-made) in the US, CurlyQCuties are a unique alternative to the more and more commonplace Ugly Dolls. The cuties are made of soft fleece with a poly/cotton fill. They are the conception of an Austin designer who makes them out of her home. She can also do custom dolls, so if you want one with a different color, or extra spots, or a belly button you can have whatever you want. This is a good find and is the exact type of thing I like to put on this blog, unique toys with a pinch of weird mixed in. If only I got a commission from this one...

More Monty Python and the Holy Grail Plush Dolls

Ever since I posted about the Killer Rabbit plush, I can't stop finding more cool Monty Python plush dolls. I know I am getting dangerously close to committing myself as a "daddy blog" by doing this, but I had to post this, I hope you understand.


Hopefully, you recognize one of the Knights of Ni, The Black Beast of Arrrggghhh, and the Three Headed Giant. These are all great plush toys for your future Monty Python fan.

It's just a harmless little bunny


I apologize for the plush doll rut I seem to have gotten into, there's just so many unusual ones out there that they are easy fruit to pick. I promise, only one or two more over the next couple of days then I'll drop it for awhile.

Fans of Monty Python and the Holy Grail will no doubt remember the Rabbit with Big Pointy Teeth (AKA The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog and the Vorpal Bunny) that guarded the Cave of Caerbannog. This soft plush doll only looks fearsome, the jaws are closable to make it look like any other cuddly little bunny. A great gift for a future Monty Python fan.

Just in case you want a little protection from this bunny, you can also get Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch danglers for your car's rear view mirror!

Ugly Dolls


The beeblebears reminding me of these Ugly Dolls for some reason, and before someone points out that I have not mentioned them before I figured I had better do so. Ugly Dolls come from the imagination of designers David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim. There are 20 of them in all each with individual names and personality (pictured above are Ox, Peaco, and Wage) It takes a special person to find the cuteness in these dolls, are you a special person?

UglyDoll Peaco 12-Inchat amazon.com
UglyDoll Wage 12-Inchat amazon.com

See more Ugly Dolls at Cole's amazon store!

Beeblebears



Douglas Adams fans will be happy to know that you can now get your kid their own beeblebear based on the part-time Galactic President Zaphod Beeblebrox from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. They come with two heads, five moveable limbs, and are available in all of the most flattering colors for a mutant.

Giant microbe plush toys


There's nothing nicer than getting home after a long day at work/school/daycare and cuddling up with a sweet cuddly lyme disease, or maybe tonight it will be Ebola. It's been awhile since you had E. coli too. Decisions, decisions.

Seriously, these are actually cute dolls and could be helpful to educate kids about illnesses and help deal with fear associated with illnesses.
