Kirby is cute as heck, there’s no denying it. They’re just a pink ball with little stubby feet, massive eyes, and a magical mouth. Originally designed as a placeholder by the legendary Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai, the cute orb is now one of Nintendo’s top mascots. Sure, they aren’t Mario, but I know I prefer circular pinkness to a hairy plumber.

Look, the best thing about Kirby is that they can change into pretty much anything they want. And it’s cute to imagine this little pink ball becoming super-powered by breathing in a scary enemy. And also: Kirby with a sword. Enough said.
As Karl Marx once said, “Workers of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains.” That has nothing to do with Marx from the Kirby series, but it’s pretty pertinent and forever will be! Anyway, Marx is cute, right? Look at that little hat.
It’s almost Easter, so get ready for a celebration of Jesus’ resurrection with the true messiah: Kirby, but with bunny ears. You can also get Waddle Dee in bunny ears, but I think Kirby is the better choice. As it says in the description, “exquisite design very soft and comfortable hug”. Doesn’t that sound lovely.
Do you have a small dog? A large ferret? Or a medium-sized cat? Then this is the Kirby plush for you. Well, actually, if you don’t have any pets, from the looks of it you could fit your head in there. So, why not spend a sweet night’s sleep in this pink thing’s mouth? Dreamy.
If you’ve already got your fill of things that are actually nice, you might prefer the jagged edges of this Meta Knight plush. I mean, they’re pretty cool, even if they do look like they’ve been designed by the biggest Bionicle fan below the age of nine.
The ultimate form of anything, is the form that lets you sit on it. What’s better than a nice sit-down? That’s why this Kirby plush which doubles as a bean bag is ideal. Get your favourite book and take a seat by the fire on Kirby’s big face. The perfect sunday companion.
