A Spooky Collaboration: Emily the Strange Gets a Plush Makeover by Alice’s Creator

Get ready to embrace your inner goth with the latest collaboration between two iconic figures in the gaming and art world! American McGee, the mastermind behind the eerie adventure Alice: Madness Returns, has teamed up with ’90s goth legend Rob Reger to introduce a limited edition plush toy that blends nostalgia with creativity.

This collaboration launched earlier this April, and it features the beloved character Emily the Strange transformed into a delightful plush rabbit. Imagine having this unique creature as a quirky addition to your room – it’s definitely going to stand out amongst your other collectibles!

McGee reminisced on social media, noting that he and Reger first crossed paths back in 1998, right when he was working on his first Alice-related game. “That makes Alice and Emily creative twins!” he said, and now, nearly three decades later, fans can celebrate their partnership with this plush release from McGee’s brand, Plushie Dreadfuls.

The Emily the Strange plushie is priced at $49 (approx. Rs 13,620) and is available directly from Plushie Dreadfuls. While you might stumble upon some lookalikes on sites like Amazon, remember, only the official store has the real deal. They’ve produced just 2,000 of these numbered plushies, along with an extra 200 “collector editions” that come with an autograph card signed by both McGee and Reger. Plus, they include some fun extras like a tote bag featuring Emily and a cool pen designed with a likeness of Emily dressed as a rabbit.

Speaking of the tote bag, it’s perfect for showing off your love for all things goth! I had the chance to strut around with mine, which displays Emily spray-painting “I Love Cats” – a statement that definitely resonates with many of us. With a pen that dispenses smooth black ink and a coin purse that’s designed to match the plush, this set is both functional and stylish.

The plush itself is simply stunning. It retains the essence of Reger’s original character while incorporating McGee’s whimsical touch. From the broken heart stitched on her chest to the red-and-black striped details that appear as if painted onto her fur, it’s clear that this plush is crafted with love and creativity. Her floppy ears and embroidered designs hint at her feline friends, who are just as fashionable as she is.

In true McGee fashion, even the details are hauntingly charming – a scar curves around her face, reminiscent of the previous plushes inspired by his games. If you’ve ever felt a kinship with Emily or Alice, this plush serves as a reminder that embracing your quirks is what makes you unique. As the card that accompanies the plush says, “Think for Yourself, Do it Yourself, Be Yourself.” And that’s the true spirit of both characters!

So, if you’re a fan of goth culture, gaming history, or just appreciate well-crafted collectibles, keep an eye out for this enchanting plush. It’s not just a toy; it’s a piece of art that celebrates individuality and creativity!
