    Hey everyone!

    We've had a great reception to the plushies, and fans have certainly shown an appetite for the Maneater pup (which has sold out). Make sure to grab a Fleshpound while supplies last!


    That being said, we've got a few options we are looking at in terms of what to do next and want your input. Take a look at the designs below and vote in the poll above about which designs you want to bring home.

    Gee, I didn't think it would be THAT HARD to choose...

    I would REALLY LOVE to have a Hans collectible, but more like an action figure than a plushie to be fair. The Scrake also happens to be my favorite zed of the bunch, but then again, the Siren is one of the most iconic, Pukey would be a nice throwback to KF1, the Husk is stylish...

    Gaaaah. I'll just wait a bit and vote for the two with the least votes I guess.

    He's not saying that Hans is a bad villain or that he should be removed from the game, just that making a huggable stuffed toy out of him is...kinda screwed up.
    If that ease things up : I wear an Iron Cross necklace on a daily basis while having Polish ancestry.


    Sure, it isn't a swastika and more like a kind of medal of honor. But it's still memorabilia linked to Germany during the World War. And I feel good about it. Because I don't wear it to praise Germany, and more to praise either Lemmy from Motörhead, or the bravest soldiers.

    I doubt nazi sympathizers are the kind of people who would buy a Hans plushie. KF2 players are probably the only ones who'll do.

    These come to mind...


    I don't have a problem with a Hans plush. I don't view the plushie as being a promotion or celebration of Hitler's regime or nazi/neo-nazi party ideals. Nor do I think that war crimes are suddenly cute because a fictional character was made into a squeezable doll.

    There aren't any nazi symbols in the game, much less on the doll. I could put a 100' Hans on my front yard and nobody would recognize him as a nazi, ever think that I support nazi ideals, or would anyone suddenly decide, "I always thought that nazi rhetoric was hateful, but now that I see the likeness of a scary-looking evil fictional video game villain, I guess being a nazi isn't so bad. I think I'll join their party."

    It's game memorabilia. Stop inventing slights. If you don't like a particular plushie for any reason, consider doing what I'm doing and don't vote for or buy Hans. Even if I haven't perfectly represented your argument or agree with my logic, accept that there is obviously a difference of opinion and let your dollar do the talking so we can go back to focusing on the fun.
