Spec me a giant penguin

As you do...

Need as big a penguin as possible, preferably in cuddly toy form.

Seeing as OcUK dont stock these (tut tut

) and cant find noubt on google or the 'bay, anyone have any ideas?

Needs to be from the UK for fast shipment...

Are we talking human sized? Or normal teddy sized?

fonzee · 29 Nov 2007 at 11:41

a large teddy sized to human sized... the bigger the size for the money, the better.

So at least 2ft tall?

You might want to give Clinton cards a visit, I just saw one around 2" for sale, around £25. Can't remember if it was the same makers as Winnie the Pooh or something, it's a purple penguin

Or supermarkets. They might have penguins in the Christmas stock.

Giant penguin holds up train

A train driver caused delays on a German rail line after mistaking a giant toy penguin for a dead man in a tuxedo.

Passengers were left stranded in Neuwied after Udo Vergens pulled the emergency stop when he saw what he thought was a man lying face down and wearing a black and white tuxedo.

Officials who came to investigate found only a man-size soft toy penguin lying on the tracks.

It was you wasn't it!>?!?

Nick one from a zoo

Unfortunately not UK based (or cheap) but this fella is pretty big for a cuddly toy (2.5ft) :eek:

They reckon they can ship it to the UK in 2 weeks but I guess it's a bit of a risk.
