Grr the age old caveat of "You're too old for plushes" - I got that too when I was a teenager and my mother wanted me to throw my plushes away too. Yet, I always caused so much of a fuss that in the end she relented - to part with my plushes would be too much to bear, I really think they are real animate creatures (being a pantheist helps here) and would feel devastated if they were to be disposed of. It would feel like the loss of a lover, it's that bad. Hey, I can't even leave them on the shelf.

A Gizmo plushie? What's that? That does sound scary if you take it to a sexual level, which, of course I always will.

Plushies are great, I hope you get a lot more, your collection sounds quite cool atm :D
