Buckle your pants and unfold your wallets, my friends, because The Behemoth, creators of such gaming favorites as Castle Crashers and Battle Block Theater, just added a plethora of new plushes to their online shop! This ragtag band of four cuddly characters hail from their latest creation, Pit People. Now available for purchase are: a Cupcake, a Rainbow Horse, a Mushroom, and Space Bear. These stuffed masterpieces were designed by Anna the Red. Readers should remember her from her adorable Nintendo Switch Puppy fan-art.

The Cupcake plush, of course, has its own catapult.

My personal favorite, the Rainbow Horse, has the perfect derpy expression.

The Mushroom is looking very swanky with its red bandana.

And finally, there is the Space Bear. He doesn’t look so menacing in plush form, does he?

Each plush costs $25. They made their debut at this year’s Penny Arcade Expo East so it isn’t much of a stretch to imagine that some of their stock would make its way to The Behemoth’s San Diego Comic-Con booth (#229, in case you didn’t know), although that has not been confirmed.

Which one of these plushes is your favorite?

Ah, Castle Crashers, that one game that really helped but the Xbox 360’s Live Arcade store on the map. This exclusive download title, (at the time,) managed to capture all of the fun we’d expect from the good ol’ days for 2D hack and slash games, complete with 4 player local and online support, a ton of characters to unlock, and a hilarious sense of humor that we’ve come to expect from the crew at The Behemoth. Well, in case you haven’t heard, Castle Crashers Remastered has released for the Xbox One, complete with new modes, characters, and the option to upload your 360 save. The best part? It’s free if you owned the original… But not for long!

Through September 20th, Xbox loyalists who bought the 360 version can download this to their Xbox One for free. Yep, no catch. No ifs ands or buts. You’ll just have to do it before the date. But what if you forget, or are just too lazy to visit the store? You can still pick it up at a discounted rate of $5. Not bad for one of the better multiplayer games of the last few years, right?

You read that right folks! Today the wonder folks over at the Behemoth have let slip that their crazy hyper popular XBLA game, Castle Crashers, will be coming to the Steam marketplace! We were given this news via a nice little poem from Dan Paladin himself.

A Poem by Dan Paladin:
While BattleBlock has been churning,
there’s another wheel turning!
And that wheel is Castle Crashers running on Steam!

It was accomplished by utilizing one of our programming teams!
We always liked this platform so it’s kind of a dream!

I’d say a release date but the future’s unknown.
If I make a mistake I shall never atone.

If you’re in Germany this weekend please say hi to John.
He is at Gamescom.
