Soft stuff with a hard edge, these plush characters make the perfect huggable lovables for geeks.

Wee Ninja
($22 at elsewares.com)
A cutesy ninja you can wrap your arms around? Sure, provided you can contain this silent but cuddly killing machine.

Harry Potter Monster Book of Monsters Vibrating Plush
($24.95 at signals.com)
Harry Potter fans know this toothy tome all too well. The Monster Book of Monsters vibrates with the pull of its tongue and doesn’t even require batteries to shake you in your shoes. How’s that for wizardry?

Plush Robot Tissue Box
($9.99 at thinkgeek.com)
Sure, tissue box covers hearken to visits with Granny and her doilies. But you can’t deny this robot tissue box cover most definitely computes with cool.

clubNAMCO Plush Collection
($99.99 at clubnamco.com)
Pac-Man may be a dot-chomping dinosaur compared to Master Chief, but the 1980s videogame icon sure looks cuter on your couch. The clubNAMCO Plush Collection comes with a 12-inch diameter Pac-Man and his four ghostly nemeses — Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Pokey — measuring in at 7.8-inches tall apiece. Also includes a 10-inch diameter Pooka from Dig Dug. Again with the old school!

Chupacabra Plush
($22.49 at paizo.com)
Hide the plush livestock. The fabled Chupacabra (“goat-sucker” for your translation) stands ready to drain your stuffed animals of their precious red stuff. And we don’t mean yarn.
