Wil Wheaton and I got excited and made a thing! Check out our Wesley’s Big Adventure Shirt over at Sharksplode.
CONVENTION NEWS: Connecticon is almost right now!!!. Come see me and David and Ryan and Lar and the Explosm quadruplets and much many mores!
I also posted a new comic last night, in case you missed it.
Much like the Sphinx, or that one guy from Labyrinth that must answer each question truthfully, I am cursed to answer each Wheaton Comic Dare in the affirmative. WHEEEAAAAAATOOOONNNNNNNN!!! When will your comic lust be satiated? Will you never lift this hex? Will my children and my children’s children forever be putting pen to Internet at your beck and call? Also, we should totally make these plushies. We would sell like a hundred thousand of them. CURSE YOU!!!!
Short story even shorter: I drew a fun little sketch of what Josh would look like if I ever made a plushie of him. Wil retorted via Twitter suggesting I plushify him as well. Wheaton’s will [wil] be done, so here we are.
Speaking of dares, I dared my friend Gordon to turn this Tweet into a shirt, and he did. That’s some funny ass shirt.
Speaking again of plushies, it is entirely a real thing that I could make HE plushies before too long. I have to start thinking about who, or what in the HExicon would make for good stuffed lovin’. Feel free to COMMENT below.
STORE NEWS: The HijiNKS ENSUE Store is closed for a few weeks so I can make some big, exciting changes. [READ MORE HERE] In the meantime you can still get shirts from Sharksplode and HE Book 2 from this very site.
[disturbing comment] A Joel plushie would be good for hugging AND humping [/disturbing comment]
I was thinking the same thing. And I would pay cash money for it. Yes, I would be a Josh groupie if given a chance.
Well, I'm sure Josh is all about the good stuffed lovin'.
PS: The Wil Wheaton plushie should not come with a dice bag… it should BE a dice bag. (That's a freebie for you.)
"it should BE a dice bag"
…holy shit…. i gotta make some phone calls.
I would buy that in a heartbeat.
Plushy, dice bag, plushy dice bag, either or, or and. Don't care I want it. Take my money!
Haha, I'm picturing the chestburster scene from Aliens. You unvlecro Plushie Wils chest and flip him inside out while dice come pouring out. (Optionally you scream bloody murder while doing this)
Ok, now I want this. Love that idea. Chest bursting dice!
Don't forget the entrails.
Can't have a good shest burst without entrails.
"Chest" … goll-dang-it
Yeah, I'd own that in the time it takes me to paste in my PayPal password from my password manager.
Boxcar Pete would be a great plushy, think of how creeped out people would be seeing him staring at them when they walk in a room. smiling, like he has something awful planned…
I pictured a Boxcar Pete plushie as having a knife pointed at you.
A plushie knife.
A real knife.
Yep. Want.
I will give you real American dollars for one of these. Well actually, they'll be Australian dollars, but they're still good, promise!
I'll go one better and use Canadian dollars on par [ even though they be worth more ]
I would buy every single plushy that you would make because the entire cast of HE is very plushiable. This is coming from a guy that worked at a store where we had a pile of plush known only as Plush Mountain.
I need them both. My American dollars would be Euros, but they are worth more than dollars anyways…
That is absolutely terrifying. Though I still think it would sell out in minutes if it were real.
I'd wanna catch 'em all, but I'd have to see samples, or pictures of samples. Those dollar-a-week Chinese children just aren't very good at the nuances of cartoon facial expressions.
There's something wrong with what my Wheaton Plusie says: "My spidey sense is tingling — anybody call for a web-slinger?"
I would buy it FOR that catchphrase. So much better than, "Let's make cookies so the boys will like us."
Yes, Yes, a million times yes.
I want to hold him up during my DnD campaigns and scream "HIS NAME IS AEOFEL!"
I would like to place a pre-order for 2 Wheaton Plushies (dicebag or non-dicebag format).
Thank you! I will watch my email for the order confirmation!
Do you accept Bitcoins or bits of string?
Also yes, fancy plushie bastards are a must.
I want a Wil plushie !
I would buy this, and a josh plush, with my canadian dollars! and canadian bacon!
Being ever the fan of the EFE (possibly having sold my soul into his service), that's who I would want as a plushie. An adorably evil plushie.
Agreed!
I dunno. That looks an awful lot like my plushie Wil Riker
This one has a dice bag…I don't think your Riker plushie should have that.
The Riker plushie would indeed have a dice bag, but it would have to be more of a dice sac, if you know what I'm sayin'
Well done sir! I have dollars ready to exchange for a little wesley plusher!
Also, I'm envisioning an evil FOX plushie/voodoo doll to provide a nice physical outlet for cuddles and/or anguished wrath.
Welsey Plusher. 8^D Lock the thread, you win.
I would definitely buy a Josh plushie, and eventually a Joel plushie and maybe even an Eli plushie.
I would probably buy a Wesley Plusher, too.
BTW, "beck and call".
Yes, a Wesley Plusher, please. Either with dice bag or as dice bag. Question: will the beardosity also be plush? And will the dice be plush?
(OMFGs PLUSH DICE: no more dings in the table top, no more waking people up with 3 AM games. And you can safely chuck your d20 that keeps making you miss at the GM's head*)
(* WARNING: Chucking a die, plush or no, at your GM's head may result in the following-
-Loss of XP
-Loss of items
-Demonic Rape
-Character Death
-Banning (the act of bein banned, not the city I live in.)
-Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter
-Global Tactical Thermonuclear Warfare
Results not typical. Your results may vary.)
YES!! Now that is freaking full of AWESOME. I really needed a laugh today, and this perfectly delivered, in heaps and monumental amounts.
Thank you.
I. Am. So. Excite. I need one in every delicious geekly flavor.
Add me to the list of people who would totally buy this.
I would buy the bejeebus out of the WW Plushie. Especially if it was anatomically accurate 🙂
oh my god you win! XD
So you can check if the beard carpet matches the beard drapes?
O.o
I would want any of these plushies SO much but wouldn't be able to justify the moneys to my other half (unless it was, y'know, cheap).
My favourite thing about the Wesley Plusher (that is SO sticking) is its beardliness. Even if you don't make the plushies (which it looks like maybe you should) I love this strip so much.
This looks like a thing that would come alive in the night and kill you. Or, re-callibrate your warp-coils.
I vote for the Wil and Fox Executive ones. You should make them about 6 or 7 inches so that my 14 inch bears can do battle with them. 😉
Am I allowed to beat up my Wil Wheaton plushie whenever Wil Wheaton is mean to Sheldon Cooper?
Can it also be used as a voodoo doll?
Could the Wesley Plusher also be a backpack? Y'know, like the GIR backpacks you get at Hot Topic? That would be triple the awesome(ness). Imagine walking around a con with "Lil Wil" on your back like Yoda, giving you geek advice.
You'd also have to have Build a Bear style clothes available for him too, like the kilt from The Guild, the infamous clown sweater, the rainbow sweater. Ah hell, you might as well just open up a franchise.
Couldn't you just get BaB stuff from their store, like bear hearts, unicorn horns, and other parts, and make a Wil-N-Stein?
I can't help thinking that the Evil Fox Executive Plushy would have to spontaneously combust or explode in a cloud of caustic acid and/or wild animal piss. No predictable device or input that would cause it, just when the owner least expects it…
Is Keifer Sutherland, Wil's nemesis? I just don't get the reference in the comic (it's amusing anyway, but would love to know if there is a story behind it).
Wil's character, Gordie, spoke that line to Sutherlands character in the film "Stand By Me. "
Thx – I totally forgot that Keifer was in Stand By Me, it's been awhile since I saw it.
Plushie Hams! If there is a Plushie Josh, there must be Plushie Hams or the Universe will become unbalanced and clang around like tennis shoes in the washing machine until it screams and shuts down mid-cycle…
I really love having something tangible from otherwise ephemeral fictional universes; I'd probably buy a whole set. Evil Fox Executive, Boxcar Pete and Josh (with bacon-related accessories) would all make pretty excellent plushies; the Wheaton plushie meanwhile has obvious crossover appeal.
I second the bacon-cessories as a good idea!
IF THIS WAS A REAL THING, I WOULD BUY IT. I WOULD BUY WIL WHEATON NINE TIMES.
Yes! Just what I wanted to say.
I would definitely buy this plushie with actual real monies (American, even!) and I would take it with me to gaming days to intimidate the rest of my group.
Check out the Geek-a-Week art project for a list of great ideas for other plushies.
Also, you forgot the recursive plushy shirt.

I most definitely want a PlushieWil! Also, I think I need that facebook tshirt… Or I could just stop posting about my drunken exploits on facebook, but what fun would that be?
I want both Wil and Josh plushies! So cute.
