Pokemon plushies are adorable, cuddly, and the perfect gift for anyone that loves the series. Wiglett is NSFW. This ten and a quarter inches tall pink-tipped creature looks uncannily phallic, and it has not gone unnoticed.
Eurogamer tweeted a picture of the plushy and, because this is the internet, comments and quote retweets were flooded with suspicious GIFs, jokes, and comments about how your mum used to have one. Aye, top right drawer, yeah?
You've seen the article's featured image, you know what it looks like. Let's not beat around the bush here. "Looks like a fluffy penis to me". Thanks, Barbara. It even comes with a pretty solid base to keep it upright at all times. Handy.
"Putting the Poke into Pokemon," Dan Entwistle said.
"Yes. I suspect many will, indeed, Wiggle It," KieranEdits said.
"A Pokémon Company lançou um Dildo foda-se," MBJ said. I don't speak Portuguese, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they called it a dildo. Not sure how structurally sound a squishy plushy will be, but you do you.
"Whoever made this knew EXACTLY what they were doing," Azzy said in a quote retweet to IGN's reveal of the... toy.
"I really don't think they thought this through," X234Kyle said. One of them has to be right.
"Does it come in different sizes like it does in the game?" Klara Rose asked, which could either be a completely innocent question from a would-be buyer, or another dick joke. At this point, I'm not sure.
Granted, people have been saying Wiglett looks like a big ol' cock ever since Pokemon Scarlet & Violet came out. Sorry to throw all subtlety out the window. Nine months ago, metronam posted a clip to the GamePhysics subreddit showing a glitch in which their Wiglett went back into the Pokeball below their feet and sprawled out again from their trainers' groin. Can't get any less subtle than that.
Of course, a plushie was going to draw the same jokes. You can hardly avoid it with a giant pink-nosed snake creature that's unsettlingly smooth.
If you want a Wiglett plush for whatever reason--please don't tell me--it's £18.99 in the UK and $24.99 in the US.
It even has a bendable body so you can fit it to your preference.
