Ever since launch, LittleBigPlanet fans have been shouting out, rather loudly, for official merchandise. Whilst there have been a small number of plastic figurines and knitted Sackboys from Sony, they’ve only ever been promotional items and never produced on a large commercial scale. This has meant that the community has had a whale of a time producing their own Sackboy of courses.
SCEA have announced that they’ve teamed up with Mezco Toys - creators of action figure lines which include South Park, Family Guy, Heroes and even the Notorious B.I.G.
The figures are being released across North America at selected retail outlets and online stores in Spring. So hopefully that means some importing for everyone else around the world, at least until they’re announced for sale elsewhere. Check them out:

I want the neon one. No, wait - the one with the afro. Oh heck, gimme all of them!
If you happen to be in New York between February 15th and 18th, then you might want to pop along to the Toy Industry Association’s Toy Fair 2009 to get a sneak preview of these figures at the Mezco stand. Register now to get in!
Also revealed in the latest U.S PlayStation Blog update, official Sackboy Plushies are on the way, with more news coming up soon as they continue making them.
