After receiving an email from Mastodon, I was finally able to order the beige looking plushie on their website!

A woman holding up the Mastodon PlushieI am not sure when it will arrive (probably after Christmas), but I am excited that it will arrive! Later on, I plan on ordering a T-shirt with my @darnell user handle proudly displayed on the front (although I will need to measure the dimensions & order a shirt off of Etsy).
For those wondering why I would order something like this, it is really simple: it is a great conversation item as well as the perfect travel pillow! 😜 Okay, I am partially joking on the latter, but I do think it is a great promo item.
To my knowledge, Mastodon is the first Fediverse platform to launch an official Plushie, although hopefully they will not be the last (I hope Flipboard creates a dolphin plushie next!).
