Bean-bag style Bun-Bun
snuggles with Tom's mom
(yeah, bloodshed would ensue) |
For the last bazillion years or so (or at least since our first
Comic-Con appearance), people have been begging for Sluggy stuffed-animals.
At last, we have three styles of Bun-Bun, and two plush Kiki
figures as well!
After a lot of trials, we finally have bean-bag style Bun-Bun
dolls. These are about seven inches long (not counting switchblade), and
have a very soft, squishy feel to them. They're extremely soft on the
outside, and you can bend them into your favorite, "Time to Die, Nerd-Boy!"
poses :) They're also our cheapest plushies -- we're selling them for
$15.00.

Various views. We've purposely left him "understuffed"
with beans, so that he stays squishable and flexible; you can bend him
almost in half if you want.
 |
|
Also, after getting near infinite requests, we finally have bean-bag-style
Kiki dolls as well! Like Bun-Bun, Kiki has been left understuffed to
be soft and squishy -- in this case, for your favorite "Poing!" pose.
Kiki is roughly ten inches long from nose to tail. For reference, that
means she's longer than Bun-Bun, but not as tall (as you'd expect from the
strip).

A quick shot of Kiki ... more coming soon!

Here we see what bean-bag style Bun-Bun has nightmares about...
|
| Yes, it's true -- you can dress your
Bun-Bun up as a pirate, if you so dare... |
|
|
  We
also created a much smaller number of "Holiday" Bun-Bun plushies. They're
the same basic design as the regular bean-bag styles, but without the switchblade, and
with Pete's special
Bun-Bun: Eater
of Holidays coloring from 2003.
 The Holiday Bun-Bun plushies have a mainly black and blue body; the
blue is speckled with white spots for snowflakes. They have yellow ears, a
yellow spikey spot around the left eye, and spikey red coloring coming up from
the left rear leg.
If you're looking for a larger Bun-Bun, or a Kiki doll, Elaine
Moertl has created hand-made, life-size dolls of both Bun-Bun and Kiki.
These dolls are more solid (you can't squish them into different poses), and
aren't as soft to cuddle with, but they're significantly larger, and show up
great in your car, on your desk, or in a pile with a bunch of other stuffed
animals.

right, left, and top. He's slightly smaller than life-size, measuring
about 12 inches nose-to-tail.

Notes for the large, hand-made
Bun-Bun and Kiki dolls:
-
Although they are stuffed animals,
neither Bun-Bun
nor Kiki is specifically intended for children! Bun-Bun has a knife, which may
not have a razor-edge, but could certainly poke a child. And although we
think they're well-made, we can't guarantee that a little kid sucking on
Bun-Bun's eyeball for an hour won't detach it and start choking.
Likewise, Kiki has "garnet" eyes which could certainly come detached and
choke a child. And we can't
guarantee that the fabric is treated -- or not treated -- with special
death-inducing gamma-waves :-) In other words, while they're both pretty
much a soft stuffed animal, we just can't guarantee that they are safe for small
kids. Like the strip itself, they're really intended for an older
audience.
-
Each Kiki & Bun-Bun will be slightly
different from the rest! Each doll is hand-made, and some are a bit
chubbier, or have a slightly different expression, or have slightly
different spots, or longer/shorter ears. So if you and a friend both get
one, they most likely won't be identical!
-
They're more expensive than shirts!
While we put a lot of effort into our shirts, we have to admit they're
not as time-consuming as these hand-made dolls! Elaine makes each of
these by hand, and believe us, it's a lot of work! So if you're just
looking for any old Sluggy thing, the shirts are cheaper .. but if you
really want a stuffed doll, we have 'em at last!
That's pretty much all
you'll need to know. Each stuffed Bun-Bun and Kiki comes with a sewn-in tag
that reads "Designed by Elaine Moertl for Sluggy Freelance," so
you'll know you're not getting a cheap rip-off Bun-Bun sold on street
corners in Tijuana (yeah, we've heard they're a hot item)!
Important note: Elaine makes these as
quickly as she can, but there's almost always a 6-8 week added delay while
we deal with shortages and wait-lists! If you order one of these along with other items
(shirts, buttons, etc.), none of the items will ship until the plush
doll is ready!

  Finally,
for size comparison, here are a few shots of the large Bun-Bun along with
his smaller cousin.

Available Items
|
| There aren't any sizes or things to worry about .. the large hand-made dolls are $28.00; the regular bean-bag styles are $15.00, and the special Holiday plushies are $18.00. Shipping costs are the same as for shirts. |
Bun-Bun Bean-Bag Style
$15.00
Bean-bag style Buns are here! These plush Bun-Bun dolls are extremely soft and poseable, and come complete with a fabric switchblade. Differences between these and the larger stuffed Bun-Buns: at seven inches, these are about half the size, and have a very soft squishy feel, whereas the larger ones are firmer. These are also a different design/pose that Pete has created.
|
|
Bun-Bun Holiday (Bean-Bag Style)
$18.00
Bean-bag style Buns are here! These holiday plushies are a special, limited version of the original. They're brightly colored as per Bun-Bun's "Eater of Holidays" design. They're extremely soft and poseable, and come in bright colors (yellow, blue with snowflakes, red and black), as seen here. Differences between these and the larger stuffed Bun-Buns: at seven inches, these are about half the size, and have a very soft squishy feel, whereas the larger ones are firmer. These are also a different design/pose that Pete has created.

StuffedBunBun - Waiting List
$28.00
Because we're chronically short on stuffed Bun-Bun dolls, we're creating this "waiting list" item for those who really want it. Important note: because lots of people want these, it may be a long time between putting your name on the waiting list, and getting your doll!
If you're paying by credit card, we won't charge your card until we have a Bun-Bun in stock.
|
|
StuffedKiki - Waiting List
$28.00
Plush doll Kiki has been in demand for months now, and she's finally ready! We're still keeping her listed as a "wait-listed" item, but we think we have plenty to fill demand right now.
|
|
Kiki (Bean-bag Style)
$15.00
Kiki Bean-bag style plushies finally join the pack! Like their Bun-Bun counterparts, these plush Kiki dolls are extremely soft and poseable -- squish her up for an authentic 'poing' pose! :) Differences between these and the larger stuffed Kiki dolls: these dolls are about ten inches nose-to-tail, or about half the size, and have a very soft squishy feel, whereas the larger ones are firmer. These are also a different design/pose that Pete has created -- a standard "walking forward" pose rather than the upright pose of the larger dolls
