Puppet Pouch puts fur on your DS / DSi, smiles on people's faces

As jaded as we are, we just can't bring ourselves to criticize this. Produced by CTA Digital, authors of other questionable gaming accessories, the Puppet Pouch acts as a superfurry (and annoyingly cute) case for your Nintendo portable console. Coming with a felt interior and elastic straps to keep your Ninty nice and minty, it also offers a zipped compartment for storing games and accessories, as well as "puppet functionality." That last bit means you can shove your hand inside it and use the little fella as part of your awesome ventriloquist act. Priced at $19.99, it's available now, but we've just got one oustanding question -- what animal is this supposed to be?

Announcing the Padded Puppet Pouch for DS and DSi
April 26, 2010

CTA Digital takes a bold step with a Padded Puppet Pouch for DS/DSi™ that ranks high on the cuteness meter.

BROOKLYN, NY – CTA Digital (http://www.ctadigital.com), a leading provider of accessories for video game consoles and portable devices, has announced the release of the Padded Puppet Pouch for the DS™ and DSi™. With a wider demographic discovering the appeal of portable gaming, including younger children, girls, parents and even grandparents; this likeable accessory sets the perfect mood and tone.

Who doesn't like uber-cute plush puppets carrying their devices? If you can have stuffed animals sitting on monitors of engineers, then you can surely imagine plush puppet pouches in the bags and hands of young kids and grandparents alike.

This Pouch provides more than adequate protection for the system with a soft felt interior. The device is firmly held in a zippered and padded felt compartment, secured with the help of elastic straps. There is also a separate zippered compartment where you can store your favorite games and accessories.

The best part is that this pouch is also a puppet, which can be used even while the DSi is inside. With the rise of popularity of handheld gaming, specifically among younger kids, this Puppet Pouch is a great way to add cheerfulness and protection to their portable gaming experience.

This Padded Puppet Pouch is a great gift for DS / DSi users and is available on Amazon (http://tinyurl.com/32j3pyb), as well as other retail outlets such as Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy & more.

Not even sure if somebody could pay me $19.99 to take this. Most gadgets would overheat with something like this on it, but my Dsi always stays nice and cool.

@tommy2468
Looks like some of the animals on Conquerors Bad Fur Day! As awesome as that game was though, I would still not buy this.

[Masterrer Posted Apr 29th 2010 9:18AM]

@tommy2468

[kitsune Posted Apr 29th 2010 9:34AM]

@SlaterGS
Huh? Conquerors Bad Fur Day, is it a kirf of Conker's bad fur day and Age Of Empire : Conquerors?

[SlaterGS Posted Apr 29th 2010 9:51AM]

@kitsune
Lol your right, used spell check on Conkers (not sure why), but yes Conker's bad fur day. Now that would be a weird KIRF....

[SOOPERGOOMAN Posted Apr 29th 2010 9:16AM]

Really is there anything people WON'T put on their DS's. Big in Japan no doubt.

[Wolfticket Posted Apr 29th 2010 9:22AM]

What ever animal it was, it appears to have been run over by a truck.

[daniel80 Posted Apr 29th 2010 2:49PM]

It looks like the picture on the left is when the ds is open and lying face down.

[mmccarthy Posted Apr 29th 2010 11:28AM]

It looks like the picture on the left is of the ds when it is open and lying face down.

[N8Sayer Posted Apr 29th 2010 11:33AM]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that it's a tanuki? The Japanese raccoon-dog?
See for yourselves.
