[Pululus] - my Wearable Plush Toy

 

PULULUs!!

Pululus (aka alien pululu) come from the distant planet Pulu-Pulu in the boka galaxy far far away. How far is planet pulu-pulu you ask? Well, it's 16 billion light years away from Earth!

You can't even see it with a normal telescope! You would need a special intergalactic telescope to see the little red speck that is their planet!

Pululus are a type of semiotic aliens who are extremely friendly and love living on top of people's heads. They draw good vibes from their host's joys and happiness as nutrients, thus they will always try to make their host humans happy by being cute and friendly (their very nature!), usually by pretending to be hats, because the happier the hosts, the happier the pululus!

Pululus can't vocalize any sound, but are extremely sensitive to vibes and outer sound sources such as speech or music. They love to hear their hosts talk or sing, and will always express their opinions somehow. They communicate with each other by moving their ears as gestures. Most of all, they love parties, especially Halloween parties!

So many undersea creatures envy that Butter has lovely eyes. They all want to steal his eyes. One day, Butter slept in an undersea cave. He didn’t know a creature already hide in there. When he woke up, he cannot see anything. He know that someone steal his eyes. However, without eyes, he cannot find who steal his eyes. Therefore, he needs someone to help him find the direction before he gets his eyes back.

Batty: Half Bat, Half Bat

On a cold day in October of 1993 at Shea Stadium in Flushing Meadows, New York Mets outfielder Bobby Bonilla walked slowly into the stadium's top-secret performance enhancing facility to test out the newest release of steroids, holistic performance enhancers, and horse tranquilizers. After a few hours of testing, Bobby heard a strange flapping noises coming from beyond the froot door. He opened it, and the lab was instantly overrun by a swarm of killer vampire bats from South America. Dripping in steroid juice and muscle cream, Bonilla grabbed his Louisville Slugger and started swingin it mightily in all directions to fend off the attack. After killing each and every one of the flying pests, Bonilla, dripping blood and covered in entrails, dropped his wooden baseball bat and ran off to seek medical attention. With too many questions being asked about Bonilla's strange facial lacerations and increased muscle mass, the Mets organization locked off the top-secret steroid facility and never spoke of it again.

10 years later, in light of the Balco steroid scandal, the facility's doors were unlocked in desperate attempts by General Manager Steve Phillips to destroy the lab and mask any involvement with steroids and tranquilizers. The lab was a mess, covered in a thick layer of gooey paste. All signs of life were gone...except for a strange animal hiding in the shadows. Don't ask how it happened. No one knows, but somehow one of the bat carcasses was brought back to life from the steroid juice and congealed perfectly to Bobby Bonilla's baseball bat. "Batty," the half-bat, half-bat has no problems with 'roid rage and on the contrary is quite friendly. This is attributed to the high level of horse tranquilizer in his blood. Batty is now married with three kids and lives happily in Brooklyn, NY. Bobby Bonilla's whereabouts are unknown.

Happy Halloween, Mrs.Frankenstein

This is my first plush toy, called Mrs. Frankenstein.
She is supposed to be born on Halloween night. Nobody knows how she was created..  Someone says she was made from a mad scientist's furnace. The others say she was separated from a wicked witch who lives in the east 13th forest. But Mrs. Frankenstein believes she has noble and tragic blood in her veins. She loves to decorate herself with crimson red like a bloody murderess. So her nails are always manicured instead......
Her well-known husband, Mr. Frankenstein also says her personality is arrogant and sensitive. If someone touches her rudely, she will shake her hand with anger.
