Video game veteran Taito is producing a series of stretchy, goo-filled Splatoon squid toys. Now there's a sentence we didn't think we'd be typing when we woke up this morning.
Due for release in Japan (where else?) on April 5th, the toys can be seen in action in the teaser video below. You can squeeze 'em, splat 'em and throw 'em in a drawer when they inevitably get covered in hair, fluff and dirt after a day or two.
Expect importers to start listing these soon - and let us know if you're going to make a purchase by posting a comment below.

I hope they sell this in the USA. FYE would probably sell them well.
Me want. 😃
I would LOVE this to come west, but something tells me this will be stuck in Japan... looks like I will be doing some importing
Oh Japan. You cray-cray.
Wish they had tentacles like in the game.
But man i really want these!!
I was in Japan last week for a few days. There were lots and lots of Splatoon. I'm in Macau now and it's like it never existed here. 😑 Nintendo is completely ignored here and China 😞

Written by someone with first hand experience.
@whodatninja I think they did a really good job of representing their 2D images, even without the tentacles. And this seems to be their standard look, it's everywhere.

In game loading screens
And this looks official from Japan, though I don't know what it is
Personally I prefer the orange, but the green and purple do offset each other nicely.
So weird but I want to touch them so badly.
Yeah but this tshirt tho...
