ZOMG you can ride it!

Why will it only carry up to 60 lbs!?!?  Suck!

I soooo would have bought this if the deal with Cartoon Network had gone through. I mean, it's the freakin' Monarch! How could you not think having your own plush, lovable, megalomaniacal, Lepidopteraphile would be fabulous????

Curse you Doctor Venture and your influence with Cartoon Network execs!!!

I'm really digging this sweet girl frog - the nicely webbed feet, the cute flower accessories, and the three-dimensional eyes are all a wonderful mix.

Gila Monster amigurumi

I'm loving this crocheted Gila monster by squiddles on Flickr.   Yay poisonous desert creatures!  Remember kids, don't play with the real ones  Check out some of squiddles other work - it's great, especially her itty-bitty turtles.

This cute guy appeals to many of my likes: fantastic creatures, cute things, and crazy hair, especially crazy blue-green hair (anyone who knew me my Freshman year in college can definitely attest to the blue-green hair part). I love the additions of fuzziness as well as the earthy colors for this inquisitive Tree Sprite.

Go check out Angry Angel's flickr stream too - there are some other fabulous creations to be admired!

It's a helicopter - what more can I say? Well, I guess I could make helicopter noises, but those don't work so well in print....

The very idea, the expression on his face...what's not to love about this hilarious plush?

Especially funny for those who remember the old Ren and Stimpy. Spin-off product for Log?

He's very cute! I like the relatively simple shapes crocheted and attached for the muzzle and mane effect. And the flower-like look to his mane gives him a special sort of charm, I think.

I find these tiny sleeping babies incredibly adorable - the sweetly blushing faces and the adorable little blankies and hats are what do it, I think.
More dolls are featured in the Flickr stream for BeBe and Friends and available for sale on Etsy.

Ahh, memories of misspent youth. The frog suit was the best way to make it across ice...

Alas, I don't think it's hand-crafted so much as a collectible.
