FAO Schwartz, the famous Manhattan toy store, has reported a goblin infestation -- in the form of plush toys designed by Brian and Wendy Froud. (We're told the toys will be available through the store's Christmas mail-order catalog too.)
Brian, of course, is no stranger to goblins, having published books on the subject including The Goblin Companion and The Goblins of Labyrinth with Monty Python's Terry Jones, and Goblins! with Ari Berk.
You'll also find plenty of goblins in the magical books that feature Wendy's work: The Art of Wendy Froud, and the "Old Oak Wood" series of picture books for children.
This is great news, thanks for sharing! I know exactly what I'll be getting for the kids and myself this year!

I thought they looked really cute, but seriously, 45 and 65 dollars for a plush toy? It's not as though they're actual goblins . . .
