Everyone loves a cute plush, especially when it’s an intriguing shape or of a strange mascot. I saw the Android Classic plush and immediately wanted it; however, my hubris was quickly quenched when I checked how you can actually get one. Or not get one, as the case may be.
The little green fellow is a rotund, real-life version of the Android mascot known as The Bot. It appeared first in 2008 and has been a mainstay of Android’s branding since. It’s got a squat body with short arms and legs, and tiny antennae on its head – the plush has the same features coated in a fuzzy fabric, with small black eyes peeping out.
While I’ve never felt particularly attached to Google or Android, this guy is really cute, and really appeals to the side of me that feels compelled to collect ‘small, round, guys’ aka soft toys with too much middle filling and teeny tiny legs. Think IKEA’s Djungelskog, Jellycat’s toast Amuseable, and Sumikko Gurashi keychains.
