Zaphod Beeblebrox-inspired teddy bears from Douglas Adams fan-club

Posted by Cory Doctorow, April 3, 2008 12:29 AM | permalink

The ZZ Plural Z Alpha Douglas Adams fan club raises funds by selling "Beeblebears," two-headed, three-eyed, three-armed teddy bears fashioned in the likeness of Zaphod Beeblebrox. I bought one for the kid last week and she loves it in all its mutant splendor. Link

Favorite this! ( 15 )

Used to be a member of that, *way* back in the day. Wonder if i've still got my Eccentrica Galumbits t-shirt and microscopic invasion fleet somewhere...

And it should be ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha. ;)

Cool bears though.

Do they come with a tiny towel?

It could be important...

These look almost as squeezable as Zooey Deschanel playing Trillian.

Oh my gosh, these are adorable!!! When I was a little girl in the '70 my parents bought a box of off-brand toys and got this 6 pawed stuffed bunny thing. I loved it. I believe this led to me becoming the happy mutant I am today!

Devout Dolls (http://www.devoutdolls.com/squeakums.htm ) are MUCH cooler. If you live in Seattle, you can get them at the Bluebottle art gallery.

These are reminiscent of Cat Grey's Unfortunate Animal of the Month Club:
