Basically, I would love one of these. I know Dave has mentioned the idea before, but what do we readers need to do to get the ball rolling on this?

Totally. I'd like a Flaco one to go with it, too! I'd put Arthur onto the lamp in the living room :D

It would also be awesome if he could have some sayings when you squeeze him

Naaaahhh. Those things break easily, the plushie feels hard and uncozy because of the metal thingy inside of it and besides Arthur would have to be given a voice... and I'm sure it would be entirely different from the voice I imagined him to have.

better make sure he's made from heat resistant materials. i can see the headline now:
"house fire started by duck"

Okay, I'm now having weird daydreams of Arthur falling into a machine and being turned into a stuffed animal. Not in a violent way that would kill him, but in a more comical way. Like say, in a cartoon. And then waking up with the "Made in USA" tag on his butt, and wondering how he got into this cardboard box. Then freaking out at seeing the army of dopplegangers on the shelve next to him.

Wow, I need to get outside and stop watching so much tv. It's starting to affect me.

If he said "Si, senora. Soy el hombre mas guapo del mundo", I would be all over that!
