Off topic: Slender Man: Plush Toy

Slender Man: Plush Toy

 

  
If you haven't seen this amazing Slender Man doll yet go have a look right now.

 Slender Man is a huge 32" plush created with the finest fabrics and materials. He is a soft, yet durable toy and is absolutely adorable while remaining as creepy as can be.

The doll is designed by R. Todd Broadwater of Nevermore Toys and  Katy Kincade, a talented artist and seamstress.
It is currently on Kickstarter so please have a look at the project and read Kickstarter's terms and conditions before securing your very own Slender Man.

Also there are other goodies available, including limited art prints by
Santiago Germano, Denae Wilkowski, and Brenden Wilson, which look incredible.


Act fast as the project closes on the 21st of July 2013. 


 What is a Slender Man?

On June 8th, 2009, a spooky Photoshop contest was launched on the Something Awful website, and slender Man was born, though he was not fully formed and the internet has worked to create a living urban legend.

Slender Man is a thin, unnaturally tall man with a blank and featureless face, wearing a black suit. He has tentacle like arms and can form more tentacles from his back. Slender Man is said to stalk, abduct, and generally traumatise people, his motives remain mysterious.  

Followup:

I will give a review of the doll when i receive it, so check back often. Why not be a part of Slender man lore and get your own Slender Man doll.
If your not interested yourself, consider sharing to a social site and spread the word so together we can make Slenderman a reality.


UPDATE:

The Kickstarter for this item has closed without reaching the desired funding amount, ill make another post if it is relaunched.
The new project can be found on kickstarter now called ZERO HOUR.



My meager Paint skills place Slender Man at Minyon falls. Imagine all the fun you could have placing Slendy in those holiday shots.

UPDATE 2
I backed Zero Hour and have yet to see anything for my money (its now July 2016), it appears  American backers pledges were fulfilled (mostly) but not international. The creator has ceased all communication with his backers and has created new kickstarters that seem to be having similar problems.
