Product Synopsis
Updated Dec 08, 2008
«©NCSX»
The Mini Knit Sackboy Plushes arrived
last Friday but too late in the morning to take
proper photos. NCS rectifies the lack of photos
today with a gallery featuring the four Sackboy
variants including the surprise Sunflower version
which replaced the "Smile Sackboy" that was
originally listed in Taito's preorder solicitation.
The four Sackboy
plushes are:
»
Normal Sackboy
» Soldier Sackboy
»
Pirate Sackboy
[Update 12/08 - SOLD OUT]
» Sunflower Sackboy
Each
mascot measures 10cm or 3.93" in height and is made
of plushy brown material that's soft to the
touch. To recreate Sackboy faithfully, a cloth zipper is
located beneath Sack's chin.
Preorders have begun shipping last
Friday but for customers who reserved the "Smile
Sackboy," we have sent a reconfirmation email to
notify customers of the change and to inquire if
they wish to order Sunflower Sackboy or switch to
another variant. If you don't see the email, please
check your Junk or Spam folder in case our message
was filtered.

Update: December 5,
2008

Sackboy is a pop culture phenomenon. NCS got
schooled on this fact back in October when we
received LittleBigPlanet for the PS3 a
few days earlier than the street date. Orders flowed
in at an alarming pace and when news of Sony's
recall got around, the pace quickened.
Exponentially.
It was an eye-opener as to the power and draw of
Sackboy.
LittleBigPlanet and its hero has also attracted fans
in Japan and when that happens, merchandising can't
be too far behind. The first Japanese manufacturer
to exploit Sackboy is Taito which is part of the
Square Enix juggernaut. The Mini Knit Sackboy
Mascot Plushes were released on November 28
and our entire shipment made it in earlier today.
Four styles are in stock as follows:
Normal Sackboy, Soldier Sackboy,
Pirate Sackboy, and Smile Sackboy.
Update: Taito changed Smile to Sunflower (check
here for photo). Each
mascot measures 10cm or 3.93" in height and is made
of plushy brown material that's soft to the
touch. To recreate Sackboy faithfully, a cloth zipper is
located beneath Sack's chin.
Due to higher than expected shipping costs and
the continued advance of the yen against the US
dollar, we're raising the price per plush to
US$13.90
but we're honoring the original price for preorders
already submitted by customers.

All of the Sackboy Mini Knits have shiny beady
eyes and a little cloth zipper |

Note the realistic stitches on Sackboy's big
head |

Give Soldier Sackboy a shield and he could be
one of Leonidas' 300 |

Soldier Sackboy is sorta like a caped crusader |

Pirate Sackboy and Sunflower Sackboy |

The eyepatch and hooked hand are
distinguishing features on Pirate Sackboy |

A headband keeps the eyepatch planted on
Sackboy's head |

Workers in our office building thought Sunflower was "Girl Sackboy" |
|
We told them it was actually Blonde Wig
Sackboy but no one believed us |

Separated at birth? We think so... |
