Canned Unicorn Meat

While shopping online during Black Friday sales for Christmas presents, Booze the Moose came across this horrific item on Thinkgeek.. Canned Unicorn Meat. Meat claimed to be made of hopes, dreams and magic etc.

But what you'll find inside is a dismembered stuffed toy unicorn.. Nooooo! ¿Por qué?

Booze the Moose is not amused by the treatment of his fellow four-legged friends.

An Offer We Cannot Refuse

The mostly-male toys in Stuffed Toy Land are ardent fans of the Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather movie trilogy. We must have missed it when this plush product came out a few years back.

The severed horse head plush (pillow) is a spoof of the horse head put in the bed of a character in Godfather I, Woltz, a stubborn movie producer who was didn't understand the cost of going against the wishes of Don Corleone Senior. Woltz woke up one morning to find the bloody head of his prized horse next to him as a warning to heed Don Corleone's 'advice'.

The toys have mixed feelings regarding this plush and whether it'll contribute to plush toy brutalities. Nonetheless, most of us agree though that the stuffed horse head plush is a humane, animal-friendly way to give a friendly warning to friends and family members to take you seriously. :D

Tricia Chan's Esty Store!

Under Spotlight - Apr 09

Michi was shopping online for clothes and whatnots when she discovered a link to I Heart Guts, a US-based store that sells plushies in the shapes of internal organs (hearts, kidney, lungs, liver, etc), with cute positive smiley faces to boot! The Guts stuffed toys were covered in many blogs and news sites such as the consumerist and wired! We think these geeky toys are not only educational for kids, they're perfect fund-raiser gifts for health awareness campaigns (anti-smoking, cervical cancer) and charity organisations (Singapore Heart Foundation) as well~


We so want these crazy organs to join our stuffed toy land family!



The innards go on vacation! Much like the ToyVoyagers concept. ;)


Heart Plush - I Got the Beat! A personal favourite. Awww, why didn't we have these (instead of some cow heart or something?) during our biology lessons?


Kidney Plush - When Urine Love. Uhh... I imagined the Singapore ministers whipping this out when debating how organ donors can be 'reimbursed' under the HOTA act..


Cool organ graphic designs

These toys also reminded us of the GiantMicrobes website, which offers a series of plush toys based on tiny micro-organisms (viruses, bacteri,cells etc..) Notable plush toys include The Common Cold, The Flu, Sore Throat, Stomach Ache, E. coli, Ulcer, Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Black Death, Ebola, Flesh Eating, Sleeping Sickness, Dust Mite, Bed Bug, Mad Cow, Anthrax, Chicken Pox, Malaria.. you name it.











Not very sure whether some of these makes good gifts though....
