If you ever dreamed of training an owl or axolotl, now is your chance. Well, you can come close anyways. Hashtag Collectibles added two new plush puppets to their line-up, the Potoo (it’s a bird, in case you are having trouble with that one) and the Axolotl. I was cracking up over these guys and want to share my mirth with you, dear readers.

The Potoo is a true winner in my book. Look at its face and I dare you not to crack a smile. If you head over to its product listing , you can see the fluffy dude in action. I adore its big eyes. It just looks so incredibly goofy. Mother Nature (and Hashtag Collectibles) certainly has a sense of humor.

The Potoo puppet measures 9 inches tall and costs $19.99.

Like the Potoo puppet, you can see clips of the Axolotl puppet in-use on its product page. This one has to be seen in motion to be fully appreciated, I think. Don’t get me wrong; I adore this one as well. I just don’t think the photo does it justice. When the puppet opens its mouth, it looks a bit like its smiling. To my knowledge, axolotls don’t smile but I find it endearing all the same.

The Axolotl puppet measures 11 inches long and costs $19.99.

Oh and Hashtag Collectibles has also restocked their Sam and Max Max plush ($29.99). I know a ton of people were waiting for a while for the guy to come back so I wouldn’t sit on this one if you are considering buying him.

It was just announced that the quirky puzzle-adventure-game, Quantum Conundrum, will be getting its own real life game show, and it’s hosted by Kevin Pereira! Check out the teaser trailer below.

From the Press Release:

Unsuspecting contestants are transformed and taken to real-life fluffy, heavy, anti-gravity and slow motion dimensions in “The Super Dimensional Quantum Learning’s Problems and Solutions Gametime Spectacular!!” Joining host Kevin Pereira is Professor Quadwrangle’s pet, an Interdimensional Kinetic Entity better known as Ike. On the show, Ike is a one-of-a-kind puppet hand-crafted by industry veteran, Russ Walko.

“I’d be in the crazy dimension to pass up the role as host for the most epic show ever,” said host Kevin Pereira, former host of “Attack of the Show.” “Have you SEEN Ike? How can you say no to anything involving that little guy?”

You can tag me on Facebook as excited! Check out some sneak peak screens as well!
